Tandem is fun, but costly prices vary from £150 to £300, if you do a charity dive, you will end up having to raise a minimum amount before they'll let you dive.
You'll enjoy it!

Why not walk across a motorway, it’s exhilarating, it’s cheaper and more chance of survival

I've never done it for pleasure. Never will.Originally posted by EternalOptimist View PostMy 18 yr old daughter wants me to pay for her to jump out of a plane as her christmas present.

If she wants to have a go then why not get her to do it for charity and collect the relevant sponsorship?
Saves you forking out the beer tokens. It would also test her commitment.
