Skydiving

There are three types of skydive that you can take part in to help Battersea, each of which vary in the level of required training, maximum jump height and minimum sponsorship.

Tandem Skydive
The most popular skydive. Harnessed to a professional skydiver for the duration of the jump, you will free-fall through the air for 5,000 feet at 120 mph, before your instructor releases the parachute and you tranquilly steer towards the drop zone for another 5,000 feet. Both your training and jump will be completed in one day.

Registration fee: £70
Minimum sponsorship: £395

Static Line
Jumping solo from up to 3,000 feet following a full day’s instruction, this is a great option for people considering skydiving as a sport. Not left completely to your own devices, you will be attached to a line which automatically opens the parachute for you.

Registration fee: £70
Minimum sponsorship: £360

Accelerated Free Fall
This jump forms part of a professional Skydiving course (AFF 1). You will be required to have a full day’s instruction before skydiving completely solo from 10,000 feet. Not for the feint hearted.

Registration fee: £70
Minimum sponsorship: £535
