We provide a very comprehensive and exciting training course and our equipment is maintained at the highest standards to ensure your safety.

The theory class is followed by a practical session in a training harness on the Saturday morning where you will be given the opportunity to rehearse the various drills. Once you have proven your competence in performing these drills proficiently, we will issue you with the appropriate equipment and manifest you on a aircraft load. A 10 - 15 min flight will take you to 3500ft were you will be dispatched by one of our skilled Jumpmasters.
 

Tandem Skydiving

Experience the thrill and excitement of a Tandem skydive in complete safety with our experienced Tandem instructors. Tandem Skydive from 10,000 feet. After only a short briefing you and your Instructor will take to the skies. You will climb in the aircraft to 10,000 feet and freefall for almost 35 seconds. You will have the sensation of being on your own. After the instructor opens the parachute, he/she will offer you guidance as you fly the parachute together. A tandem jump is a great way to experience the ecstasy of skydiving while under the close supervision of an experienced Instructor. The weight limit for the tandems is 100kg. If you are heavier than 100kg please call the dropzone to discuss the possible options for your jump.

Accelerated Free Fall (AFF)

Accelerated Freefall (AFF) is the fast track program designed to turn you into a competent skydiver in the shortest period of time. On your first jump, two highly experienced and specially trained instructors will hold your parachute harness as you exit the plane and experience nearly a 30-second free fall. They will be at your side to coach, assist, and evaluate your performance. After you open your square parachute you will land with pinpoint accuracy on the airfield.

 

Subsequent AFF training is designed to add to your skills and self-confidence by adding a skill or technique as you progress through each level. From level Four, you will just have one Instructor and you can be off instruction?and qualified as a novice skydiver in ten jumps. When you graduate, you will have aerial skills that would have taken dozens or even hundreds of jumps to learn via the old conventional method of skydiving.
