What is a drop zone?

A drop zone (also written dropzone or DZ) is a licensed skydiving facility with an aircraft, a landing area, and packing space. Drop zones offer tandem skydives, AFF student training courses, and fun jumps for licensed skydivers. In the UK, drop zones are regulated by British Skydiving.

How many drop zones are there in the UK?

There are 25 skydiving drop zones listed on DZSpotter across the United Kingdom, including drop zones in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The number affiliated with British Skydiving may vary slightly as some operate seasonally.

What's the difference between a drop zone and a dropzone?

“Drop zone” (two words) is the British English spelling used by British Skydiving, while “dropzone” (one word) is more common in American English. Both refer to the same thing: a skydiving facility. DZSpotter covers both spellings.

How much does a tandem skydive cost in the UK?

Tandem skydive prices in the UK typically range from £149 to £349 depending on the drop zone, altitude and package. The most affordable listed UK tandem starts from £149 at Skydive Southwest. Prices vary by season and whether you book direct or via a third party.

Are UK drop zones regulated by British Skydiving?

Yes. The vast majority of UK drop zones are members of British Skydiving (formerly the British Parachute Association / BPA), the UK national governing body recognised by the Civil Aviation Authority. British Skydiving sets safety standards, licence requirements, and drop zone operating procedures. All UK drop zones on DZSpotter are or have been British Skydiving affiliated.
