Who we are


The University of Bristol Skydiving Club is dedicated to making skydiving accessible and exhilarating for everyone. We create a supportive environment where students can experience the thrill of freefall, make new friends, and push their boundaries. Open to all University of Bristol students and alumni, we provide opportunities for both beginners and experienced jumpers to enjoy unforgettable skydiving adventures.


What we offer!


AFF Course Training

The AFF (Accelerated Freefall) course is the fastest way for you to get your license and skydiving solo. It includes ground schooling and jumps with instructors to ensure safety and confidence. For more information, check out the pinned post on our Instagram or contact one of our committee members.

Tandems

Want to experience the thrill of free falling, but don't want to commit to getting a full license yet? Get securely harnessed to a certified instructor, you’ll experience the rush of freefalling from 13,000 feet. It’s a great way to dip your toes into the world of skydiving without the full commitment. For more details checkout our events list or contact one of our committee members.

Wind Tunnel

Want to have a feel of what it's like to float in the air? Join us one one of our indoor skydiving day trips! Experience the sensation of freefall in a safe, controlled environment in a wind tunnel with professional instructors. Perfect for beginners to get a taste and for experienced jumpers to hone their free fly skills.

Trips Abroad

Join us for exciting skydiving trips abroad! Last year, we organised a 11 day trip to Seville (Spain), for 12 of our members. Eight of our members were able to completed their AFF courses. Alongside skydiving, we got to explore the local city for all its food and culture, as well as have a day trip to the beach! We will be hosting another trip this Easter. Spaces are limited, so stay tuned for details. For more information, contact one of our committee members.

Socials & Non-Skydiving Events

Our socials including pub crawls, hot pot nights, pub quizzes and more to come. We also host other events in the day such a bungy jumping and the occasional Costco trip. If you chose to show up, we will try our best to show you a good time!

Fun Jumps

Already got your license? Join us for fun jumps! We organize day trips to various dropzones for a full day of jumping, welcoming divers of all skill levels. It’s a fantastic opportunity to enjoy skydiving with friends and meet jumpers form around the UK.

General Tomfoolery
