Good Company X
For the experienced. Technical mountaineering, technical diving, skydiving and more, with ID-verified people at your level.
What X plans look like
Your sport, your level
Say which sports you do and how experienced you are. You only see X plans you could join.
Small, chosen teams
A rope team, a dive buddy pair, a car to the drop zone. The host approves every person.
Run properly
Every plan says who runs it or where it happens, so you know the operator before you say yes.
Why this exists
In these sports, who you go with matters more than anywhere else. Finding a partner at the right level usually means forum threads, club noticeboards and luck. Good Company X puts ID-verified people who do your sport, at your level, near you, in one place, with the same small groups and safety tools as the rest of the app.
Good Company doesn’t organise, lead, supervise or insure X plans. Hosts and members are not instructors unless they say so and hold the qualification. Levels are self-declared. You’re responsible for your own training, equipment, fitness, insurance and decisions, and for following the rules of the centre, drop zone, club or governing body. Anyone can say no, change the plan or turn back at any point.

How it works
Switch on X
Once your ID is verified, choose your sports, your level in each, and add a note such as your licence or certification. Accept the X terms the first time.
See plans at your level
X plans for your sports show in your feed, with an “X plans” filter. Each one says its sport, its minimum level and who runs it.
Ask, talk, go
Ask to join. The host sees your level and note and decides. Talk experience and kit through in the chat, then meet, often for a car share.

The levels
The same three levels for every sport. They are self-declared and shown as that; your note says the rest.
Level 1
Qualified
Holds the entry qualification or licence for the sport and has done it on their own.
Level 2
Experienced
Does it regularly and independently, and can look after themselves.
Level 3
Expert
Leads, instructs, or has years of hard experience.
Built for trust
- Everyone is ID-verified, like every member.
- You only see what you could join. X plans are shown only to members who switched X on and declared that sport at the plan’s level or higher. We check this on our servers, not in the app.
- The host approves every person, seeing their level and note first. X plans can’t use instant join.
- Who runs it is stated up front: a licensed drop zone, a dive centre, a club, or the route and plan for a self-led team.
- The exact meeting spot stays private until you’re accepted.
- Safety check-in and live location with up to three trusted contacts, until you’re home.
- Block and report in a tap. Overstating your level breaks our terms, and we can remove you from X.
In an emergency
Call 999 (or 112). In the mountains, ask for the police, then mountain rescue; at sea or on the coast, ask for the coastguard. Know the emergency plan for your activity before you go, and leave your route and timings with someone at home. Good Company’s check-ins and live location are not an emergency service.
What we collect
| What | Why | Who can see it |
|---|---|---|
| The sports you do, your level in each and an optional note | Show you X plans you could join, and let hosts decide | Us; for one sport, the people in an X plan for that sport and hosts you ask to join. |
| When you switched X on and accepted the X terms | Show you agreed to the X terms | Only us. |
Switching X off deletes your sports and levels. Details are in the privacy policy and on Your data.
Who it’s for, and not for
- For: verified members who already do one of these sports independently.
- Not for: learning, first tries or tandem jumps. Book those with a school, centre or club.
- Launching city by city alongside the main app, so there may be no X plans near you at first. Hosts make them, so start one.
Questions
Who is Good Company X for?
ID-verified members who already do a technical or extreme sport independently and want partners at their level: a dive buddy, a rope team, someone to car-share to the drop zone. It’s part of the same app, so there’s nothing separate to download.
I’m a beginner. Can I use it?
Not for learning. X plans are for people who already hold the qualification or licence and do the sport on their own. If you’re starting out, go through a school, centre or club; once you’re qualified, X is here. Everything else in Good Company is open to you in the meantime.
Do you check my level?
No. Levels are self-declared, and the app says so wherever one is shown. You can add a note such as your licence or certification. Hosts see each person’s level and note before saying yes, and everyone should talk experience through in the plan’s chat before going. Saying you’re more experienced than you are breaks our terms, and we can remove you from X.
Who runs an X plan?
The host organises the plan, not Good Company. Every X plan says who runs the activity or where it happens: a licensed drop zone, a dive centre, a club, or for a self-led team the route and the plan. Follow that operator’s or governing body’s rules on the day.
Is it insured?
Good Company doesn’t insure any activity. Check that your own insurance covers the sport (many travel and life policies exclude these sports), and any membership cover your sport expects.
Can I host one?
Yes, once X is on. Choose one of your sports, the lowest level that can join (up to your own), and who runs it or where it happens. You approve every person who asks to join; X plans can’t use instant join.
Where do we meet?
Usually near home, for a car share, with the activity somewhere else. The meeting spot is shared with people you accept, like any plan; who runs it or where it happens is shown to everyone who can see the plan.
Which sports are included?
Technical mountaineering, multi-pitch and trad climbing, ice and mixed climbing, technical diving, cave diving, freediving, skydiving, paragliding and hang gliding, white-water paddling, ski touring and off-piste, and canyoning. Tell us at hello@goodcompanyapp.uk if yours is missing.
Is it free?
Yes, like the rest of Good Company: free for members. Hosts never charge members; costs such as jump tickets, gas fills or entry are paid to the operator.
