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.

Reviews

Tens of thousands of people have chosen to jump with us. Here's some of what they say!

  • 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!

  • 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…

  • 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.

  • It was my first time skydiving and the whole experience was amazing from start to finish all the staff were really good made me feel welcome and helpful. The instructor (Henk) was so good can’t thank him enough and it was great to share my experience with him what a top guy. All the facilities are excellent also the camera packages are well worth getting, I’ll definitely jump again, if I could give more than 5 stars I would. Thank you to everyone at Go Skydive Salisbury.

  • Mine was a total surprise, I found out what I’ll be doing half an hour before the jump. Had a huge adrenaline rush, who wouldn’t be a bit nervous? 1st time.. and they took care of everything… So my message to anyone wanting to do this.. Relax and enjoy! Great team, great instructor, really organized, very clear instructions, good facilities on site. AWESOME EXPERIENCE!!! Absolutely recommend GoSkyDive.
