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.

  • Amazing experience, felt relaxed and safe throughout whole experience. Completed 15,000ft tandem jump with Henk as my instructor. It was awesome and he did a perfect job of showing me what to do and making sure I enjoyed the experience!!

  • What a fantastic experience I had at GoSkydive, I’ve wanted to do it for a very long time and it well and truly lived up to expectations. All the staff were so friendly and accommodating. Huge shoutout to my instructor Chas, who brought a fantastic and calming energy to the jump!

  • 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!

  • Brilliant experience, the whole experience was very well organised. Henk (my instructor) was fantastic. All staff I encountered were very professional yet very fun. On the whole it was the best day out and I would recommend a skydive to anyone, one more ticked off my bucket list.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • I jumped with my team to raise money for Charity on Friday. Although the weather was rather rubbish in the morning, which meant we were delayed by 5 hours, it was well worth the wait. The team also kept us in the loop and we had some yummy sausage sandwiches in the cafe. I hate that I cannot remember the name of my tandem guy but he was amazing. Although there were some cheeky wind up merchants on the flight, he was super supportive and made me feel at ease. He made the experience magical as we did some fun spins and even flew through a cloud and saw a rainbow! When we landed I got a huge hug and he said how proud he was of how I did. The first time I jumped I had a camera but it was nice this time around to go without as I could focus on the experience and not the camera if that makes sense. This was my second skydive (8 years apart) and I can officially say I have the bug! I am now desperate to save up to get my licence. I think my instructors comment of ‘Welcome to my office’ whilst thousands of feet in the air probably did it. I cannot recommend this enough. Don’t let your nerves put you off! It’s super safe and you are in the best hands. Thank you Go Skydive! I will likely be seeing you again soon…

  • What an amazing day, from the moment we got the staff were fantastic, they were really friendly and very helpful. It was a well oiled machine I have to say. I want to say a massive thank you my instructor Richard who was an absolute legend on the day and helped me overcome my fears! I’ve now ticketed off a sky dive from my bucket list and if you want a place to go and do your first skydive then I recommend GoSkydive in Salisbury. Well done and thank you for making my day so special.
