Parachute Jump Gift

Options
It is my dh's 30th birthday next month and I want to get him a parachute jump as a gift as it is something he has always wanted to do.
I have looked at red letter days and virgin expereinces both of which was around £250.
Just wondered if they are any other companies offering this sort of thing or if anyone has a discount code for the above two companies.
Thanks in advance :beer:

    It's usually cheaper if you phone your local drop zone and book directly through them. (Check dropzone.com to find your nearest one.)

    It's much cheaper if you go for a static line jump (where you spend a day training then jump on your own (and then any further jumps only cost £35)), but that's only from 3500ft compared to about 12,000ft for a tandem.

    Direct is always better. Last year I wanted to send my OH on a helicopter lesson. Managed to find somewhere nearby for a fraction of the price on these experience days. He didn't know any different, but loved every second...you should have seen his face afterwards.
