GoSkydive

Skydiving In Bournemouth

A tandem skydiving experience like no other

The UK’s Specialist tandem skydiving centre just 50 minutes from Bournemouth

The UK’s specialist tandem skydiving centre just less than 1 hour from Bournemouth. GoSkydive is the UK’s only specialist first-time tandem skydive centre. Located in Salisbury on the central south coast just 50 minutes from Bournemouth, GoSkydive is your closest tandem skydiving centre. If you are travelling to us from Bournemouth by car our centre is easily accessible by the A338. So if you have never done a parachute jump before and are looking to tandem skydive near Bournemouth, GoSkydive is the closest specialist centre.
At GoSkydive, customers from Bournemouth and across the UK are taken through a customer journey that cannot be matched by any other skydiving centre in the UK. We are the only centre that specializes in parachute jumps for first time skydivers. But what does that mean? It means that we only do tandem skydives – you won’t be competing for time and space with sports jumpers – the whole day is built around you and other first-time skydivers.
We’ll consider your travel time and try and get you booked in later in the day, we’ll keep you updated with weather reports to, where possible, avoid unnecessary delays. There will be a briefing within 30 minutes of your arrival, you’ll receive full training in a simulated environment and there will be a whole team of people on hand to support you at all times. The view from the skydive in Salisbury to Bournemouth is visible on clear days. From the jump height, the Bournemouth coastline can be seen. When looking south west towards Bournemouth, the view of the city is flanked by the New Forest on the left, and Cranbourne Chase on the right.

Charity Skydives Bournemouth

If you’re thinking of a way to raise money for a good cause, tandem skydiving for charity is a great way to do it.

It is not only admirable that you are brave enough to jump out of a plane at 15,000 feet and that people give generously to your cause – but you also get to have the most amazing life-changing experience. Thousands of charity skydives are done by GoSkydive each year, and here’s one – Zoe Ball’s jump for MNDA.

In doing a tandem skydive for charity, you’ll be doing something life changing that will attract people to sponsor your cause. A staggering half a million pounds was raised for good causes by GoSkydive in 2015, more than any other skydiving company in the UK.

  • Massive thanks to the whole team at Go Skydive, it’s an experience of a lifetime. Training puts you at ease and after they show you how the parachute opens (and how many backups it has), your last fears or doubts are gone.
    Great sense of camaraderie between the instructors, you really do feel that you are in safe hands. Huge shout to Greg for making my jump so easy. I really enjoyed those spins! Can’t wait to do it again!

  • This was such an amazing experience I don’t really know where to start! I was quite anxious before the jump, but all the staff are very professional and relaxed they made me feel safe, yet still excited about the impending Skydive! The atmosphere was really happy and fun, especially in the plane on the way up, which really helped with the nerves. My instructor, Fab was great – very reassuring and friendly, and the enthusiasm of the whole team was infectious. I felt really well looked after and I’m sure this experience has really helped with my confidence as they made me feel like a hero! I’m so glad I did this!

  • The team were very professional and everything was well organised. The training was given in a good way but with some humour to calm the nerves. Family and friends were welcome to go. Every stage was explained well. It was a very good experience

  • There are no words to really capture how it was. Sensational, exceptional, exhilarating are just a few words that spring to mind. The whole set up on the day is brilliant, from start to finish. The staff are without exception awesome, all dedicated to making the day memorable. The communication throughout the event was spot on. The facilities were superb. The instructors are AMAZING, especially my Alex! Patient, encouraging and informative about everything we were doing/seeing. If you have half an inkling to do a skydive, DO IT with Goskydive in Salisbury. You won’t regret it!

  • Massive thanks to instructor Chris. He took the time to explain everything to me right before the jump. I felt incredibly safe with him and wasn’t nervous at any point! The ground staff were also great. I cannot wait to come back!
