Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I went here to support a friend to do her skydive. I wrote an awful review of paragon skydiving so thought i would balance it out with writing about these guys. From the reception to the training and on to the jump the guys were professional and organised. There was no hanging around after the training, the jumpers were told who was going when so we knew exactly what was happening. We were hanging around taking pics at every opportunity and the staff had no issue, calling us over for better shots. Cannot fault them in the slightest. When i skydive again i will definitely be booking here.

Booked to do a tandem skydive alongside my husband and brother in law…. I opted to do mine in aid of charity.
The staff throughout were friendly & helpful from booking, to confirmation and the date of the skydive.
The safety brief was concise and clear, taking about 45 minutes including getting our jumpsuits, hat and harness.
I opted to have my jump captured on video and George spoke to me on camera before and after. He captured the views, my excitement and atmosphere beautifully…
Cammy was my jump buddy and again an enthusiastic, genuine person…. He chatted prior to getting on the plane, during the flight to jumping altitude and then whilst doing the skydive, checking to see if my squeals were of delight or terror…… most definitely delight!!!
The things to take away from using this company was their professionalism, the staffs enthusiasm and genuine love for what they do.
If you’re ticking a Skydive off your bucket list or looking to take on a new hobby.. this is the company to use.

What a fantastic day we had on Sunday. We arrived at 8am but we were told people had arrive at 7.30am to form a Que so try get their early . There was a good few mishaps on the day, plane broke, pilot never showed up and a few instructors had to leave etc. didn’t stop us though we waited 12 hours to dive and it was completely worth it! I got Lucas as my tandem instructor he was brilliant a bit mad but funny. He kept me safe throughout and looked after me thanks for getting me on the ground safely lol!
The feeling of free falling was unbelievable and thanks to wee George my videographer I absolutely love him if you get him your in luck! Absolutely love my videos and photos! All the team where superb and made the day go in fast. Felt right at home with all the guys telling me their life stories and how they got in to skydiving you can see how much passion they all each individually have for it! Rab you were great too as was Finlay and James. Can’t wait to come back and do it again! Free falling was the best part best experience of my life honestly!
I’d trust the guys with my life definitely go for it 🤍

After a few cancellations due to the funky Scottish weather, eventually got to do my jump in June. Even though I had done a skydive before, I was a little bit nervous but all was soon forgotten as James's absolutely terrible haircut and stinking banter took my mind of them nerves straight away (only joking of course).
The whole team are super friendly so if you don't have anyone to go with don't let that deter you from what will be an experience that you will remember for a lifetime! Good vibes all round

Did my first ever skydive yesterday and it is fair to say I was incredibly nervous the whole day. I’m not great with flying or heights so doing something like this was completely out of my comfort zone but I decided to do it for charity. The staff at St Andrews are brilliant and tried to put me at ease through the experience. The whole day went incredibly smoothly. I would recommend to anyone who is even debating doing a skydive.
I can’t wait to laugh at myself in the video they took,
I will definitely be doing it again but maybe not anytime soon😂

I am more scared of heights/planes than anyone I've ever known, so I decided to challenge myself by skydiving.
All the staff at Skydive St. Andrews were so professional, clear and reassuring. They really helped me feel as relaxed and as safe as I possibly could for the jump.
I couldn't thank them enough for this experience that I'll remember forever, and I'd like to thank George for not only capturing the experience for me, but also editing and sending a video with many photos in the space of 24 hours after the jump.
If you ever consider skydiving, I would highly recommend this location and crew.

Where do I start...What an Experience!!!
Professional, well-managed company with Great trainers/staff. I highly recommend Skydive St Andrews to anyone looking for an adrenaline rush! Absolutely fantastic experience! You, dear reader will be in best hands.
Must give it a Go!!!
Although it took a few attempts because Scottish weather is as it is, in the end, I had an exhilarating experience - FLYING - got to hug the sky, cry and laugh- had it All!
You definitely want to have what to look back to and share with friends & family so I highly recommend the video package! This was delivered within 24 hours of my jump and the footage is just brilliant and great quality! (very reasonable price too I'd say). George was fantastic to work with and I am so pleased with the quality of his work. I have to watch it back just to confirm I went through with the jump!
A massive Thank You to all the amazing staff there!

I signed up for a charity skydive for Help for Heroes on 24 June 2023.
An amazing and surreal experience!
Definitely worth getting the video of your jump!
A very relaxed and easy going atmosphere. Great bunch of people, good banter and a massive thank you to George for the stunning video and photos and Instructor James, they both made it a great first jump!

I honestly can’t thank Lucas enough for the most amazing skydiving experience I have ever had in my life and George for capturing every second, memories which will last a lifetime, from start to finish they were just absolutely outstanding. I couldn’t fault one single thing and 5 stars just isn't enough. I would highly recommend anyone who is considering a skydive to get in touch with both of them.

Hi would love to know a price . and how much extra for video?. Thinking about getting it for my partner. Does she have to choose the date or does she get an expiry on it ? Thanks

Hi
We completed it as part of a team event for a charity so not sure of voucher price for a gift. The video option was an additional £90
It was a fabulous experience- highly recommended!
My other half has a sky dive booked for this weekend, I’ll be going along as a spectator. Could anyone give me an idea of how long the whole experience takes, and whether there are cafe facilities or similar? Thanks ☺️

My other half came with me and feared she was going to be there all day, but my dive was completed by mid day. But you could be longer depending on the weather. I would pack a bag with snacks! Hope this helps
I am 76 years young can you tell me the cost also insurance cost of skydive st Andrews

You have probably already done your dive by now but for any others asking, your life insurance covers the dive. The insurance waver you sign with Sky Dive St Andrews on the day of your jump only covers you damaging their equipment. For example, landing through the roof of their hanger. The roof is covered, your injuries are not. The vast majority of life insurance providers cover this as a one off extra curricular activity or experience. It is only if you were to take it up as an extreme sport or were to do it permanently that you would need special insurance. Bit always best to check with your provider.

As long as you've actively rebooked within the year the company will honour the tandem.... may I suggest you get yourself re-booked soon as your liability insurance will have to be renewed (£20) and you will require re-training if you're out of the year.

I wore gym gear - something light so the flight suit can go on top comfortably without getting too hot!
