What time will I jump?
ExpandHide
Exact jump times are given out on the day, based on your arrival time and the weather, so you should prepare for the Skydive Day to be a full day event. You will be given an arrival time nearer to the time of the event.
Can I bring my family and friends to watch me?
ExpandHide
Yes, please bring friends and family on the day to cheer you on! If you do bring children, please note it can be a long day of waiting so please plan accordingly.
Guests must bring photo ID as the site is MOD.

Will my skydive be filmed or photographed?
ExpandHide
Photos on the ground will be taken by RUHX and will be shared with you after the event. There is also an option to have your jump filmed by a camera person for £140, payable directly to Netheravon on the day of your jump. Please select this option in the registration form so that we can pre-book this for you.
Will I be skydiving on my own?
ExpandHide
You will be partaking in a tandem skydive, meaning you will be with a highly experienced skydiver for the entirety of your jump.
Is there an age or weight limit?
ExpandHide
The minimum age is 16 with the consent of an adult, but there is no upper age limit!
The maximum weight limit is 101kg, which equals around 16 stone. This is due to the limitations of the parachuting equipment.
