Skydive Northwest — Local services in Lower Holker

Unforgettable Experience Many thanks to all the staff at skydive northwest. From Dennis (The menace) who checked us in to Leanne in the office and George for the initial training in the hangar. They put myself and my son at ease from the word go. The dive was booked by my son as an Xmas present as a father (67 years) son (27 years) experience. I think it was a Breaking Dad moment!! I must say everything was done very professionally and what was going to happen explained to the last detail, and we were put at ease by all the staff. Dennis in particular was always available for a friendly chat with 2 nervous first timers. Most of all, thanks must go to my dive buddy instructor (Peter Connor) and my son’s instructor (Danny Coultrup). They went through everything meticulously in the hangar beforehand and double checked everything onboard before leaping out. It was very professional. Yes I cannot deny I was nervous but I felt safe in Peter’s hands so did my son with Danny. Everything went exactly to plan as described by them. It was a beautiful sunny day and the views were incredible from 14,000 feet. Special thanks must also go to cameramen Sion and Steve. They lightened the mood with a bit of banter but most importantly took some incredible photos and videos of the whole experience from kitting up, walking to the plane, onboard, skydiving and landing. Memories we will always have on film. Can’t recommend skydive northwest highly enough. A great day...

What an amazing and wonderful experience. I had a fantastic day from start to finish everybody I met was so nice from the gentleman taking our names to the girls in the office the gentleman who took us through safety procedures and what we needed to do. I have to say my camera 📷 man, Owen, did a fantastic job. I am so pleased with the way the video and photos have turned out. Last but not least, my instructor for the day John Howard. He made my whole tandem Skydive fun and enjoyable. I don't think we stopped talking and laughing until we moved to the door edge of the plane. Oh, and there was no chance of me backing out, we were at that door as quick as a flash and before I knew it, we were out free falling. I felt so free. Seeing the underneath of the plane grow smaller as we fell away from the plane was amazing, definitely a wow moment. Then Owen came towards us, and John did a spin around a couple of times. Then time was up, and the parachute was opened, and how quiet it all was up there. He let me have a little stear with him and then a few spins. I loved it and embraced the whole experience. The ground was quickly coming towards us, the landing was soft. I smiled, laughed, and giggled all the way through. John definitely went above and beyond to make my experience so great, making sure I was OK all the way through. A big thank you to Owen and John for making my day so...

What an incredible exhilarating experience this is! Bought as a gift for my 50th Birthday, and i'm now regretting waiting so long to do this! Very well organised, though it is weather dependant so i did have to wait a few hours to jump, though there is a cafe and a big field for the kids to play on while waiting. The staff are amazing, so friendly and welcoming, they really do put you at ease. I have to say a special thanks to my Fantastic Tandem Instructor John Howard, he was absolutely brilliant, reassuring me the whole time, with a big smile, and eased my nerves completely, i knew i was in safe hands! The Freefall was incredible but also once the Parachute opened the float down was amazing - John pointed out a beautiful 'Brocken Spectre' that was below me - a wonderful phenomenon that i have never seen before. Definitely get the Video/Pic package, it is so worth it, you get your own personal Cameraman that jumps alongside you and produces the most amazing video from start to finish, edited with an amazing soundtrack! Along with hundreds of Photos - Big thanks to 'Gary B' for this!!! This was the most exhilarating thing i've ever done and i'm just planning when i can get to do it again........
