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.

  • GoSkydive in Salisbury is absolutely fantastic! I did my first tandem skydive yesterday afternoon and I could not have been more impressed with the team. They were all professional, very friendly, organised and efficient and the whole experience is planned perfectly. My Instructor, George, was quite simply amazing! A truly lovely man who really took the time to calm my nerves and to make sure I had an awesome time. Thank you, George!

  • I’m telling you if you want to do a Skydive 🪂 this is the place. Short trip from London but great atmosphere and the team there is amazing. Today was my 40th birthday and I wanted to do something different and it was worth every penny. My Instructor “Crazy Dutchman Henk” was so cool and a bunch of fun, my cameraman was absolutely bonkers but they mate a great team and the experience was EPIC! I did a 10,000ft jump but will definitely be going back to do the 15,000….BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!

  • GoSkydive in Salisbury is an incredible place, the whole team were so welcoming and the nicest people. I was quite nervous but I felt entirely safe and settled considering the fact I was jumping out of a plane. Had the most epic time with my instructor Alex today, he made me laugh and made me forget the nerves! 15,000ft checked off and I will be coming again as soon as I can.

  • 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!

  • 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 accomodating. 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!

  • This was the most amazing experience ever! The staff were so friendly, weather updates the day before the jump were really good and we were kept updated throughout the day too. The totally epic camera package is an absolute must, photos and videos are sent the same day (mine arrived within an hour), they will be cherished forever! Cannot recommend them enough!

  • 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!

  • I had a 10,000ft skydive giving me a 30 second freefall. The jump was one of the best experiences of my life, I absolutely loved it. Even after the parachute opened the thrill continued with stunts and amazing views over Wiltshire. I am glad I chose GoSkydive for my first ever jump, the team are awesome, very well organised, efficient, and super friendly. I loved that they were all genuinely excited for me and vey chatty. My instructor was called Mias and he made me feel very safe and he completed the whole experience. I opted for a free-fall photographer package which I thought was a bit pricey at the time, however, the video was ready within 1hr after my jump with a link emailed to me for downloading. The quality of the video was superb. When I seen the work that was involved in capturing my experience, I understood why it was so expensive. This is a video that I will watch repeatedly reliving this amazing day.

  • An amazing day with GoSkyDive Salisbury, with a great team of trainers, instructors, tandem jumpers, filling all new jumpers with much needed confidence.
    A really professional but still fun approach throughout the day from the team made for a very enjoyable experience.
    Great little cafe on site to keep the teas/ coffee and snacks coming while you wait to be called for your flight and jump,
