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.

  • An amazing experience! Very professional and stunning sky diving venue! All the staff were amazing at making you feel relaxed, reassured and prepared. One member of staff, Tom, was so kind and considerate it calmed my nerves from the get got. He made a concerted effort to greet me as soon as I arrived and strike up a conversation, which was so welcoming! I can’t praise these guys enough. Please check them out!

  • 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!

  • Sensational service from start to finish. The check in, induction, kitting up, instructor, camera man – everybody – was so supportive and friendly. The experience was terrifying, but the staff could not have done anymore to get me through the day! I felt completely safe, and despite how many jumpers they had on the day I felt the attention to detail and service was so personalised for each one of us. I highly recommend using this company if you are considering a sky dive, especially if you are a first timer. My sincere heartfelt thanks to the wonderful team, especially Mias, my instructor – I was certainly not an easy person to have due to my nerves!

  • I cannot praise the staff enough. Although the training is a serious matter, it was all given in a fun way. They are all so professional, and I am looking forward to jumping with them again in the future.

  • Absolutely incredible experience, one I feel absolutely honoured to have had. Myself and my partner did it together as a belated birthday present after various postponements for 1.5 years which Josh, the main person I had email contact with, was very accommodating. I was nervous for weeks in the lead up to it but the centre staff and my instructor, Alex, were absolutely fantastic. An experience of a lifetime, I want to go back for more!
