Irish Parachute Club is a skydiving centre based in Clonbullogue, County Offaly. The club runs a range of structured skydiving experiences for first-time jumpers and students progressing toward solo certification. Offerings include Tandem Parachute Jump experiences from 10,000 or 13,000 feet with a tandem master, Assisted Free Fall (AFF) Level 1 combined with Ground School from 13,000 feet guided by two instructors, and Solo Jumps that follow a comprehensive six-hour Ground School and a first jump from 3,500 feet with automatic parachute deployment.
Each program follows clear training steps: the tandem option pairs a passenger with a tandem master for a single jump; the AFF Level 1 course begins with ground instruction covering hand-signals and body positioning before airborne practice; the Solo Jumps pathway includes a six-hour Ground School followed by instructor-guided first jumps to build independent skills.
The club operates from Clonbullogue, County Offaly, offering skydiving over open countryside and surrounding landscapes. Staff use standard safety procedures and modern equipment appropriate for each experience, and instructors provide direct guidance throughout training and flights. Practical briefings and hands-on coaching are part of each package to ensure students understand procedures and expectations.
Irish Parachute Club focuses on progressive learning and supervised experiences. Clear instruction, paired jumps or multiple instructors for early jumps, and defined ground training sessions support a safe, educational approach to skydiving. Booking availability and flight schedules are managed at the Clonbullogue drop zone, with sessions organised around weather conditions and aircraft availability to ensure safety and logistics.
