Skydiving AFF Level 1 Course - £439.00

 

  • Jump from 12,000ft without an instructor attached
  • Two instructors will instruct you during freefall
  • Pull your chute and guide yourself back doen to ground safely

The AFF Level 1 Course allows you to experience the thrill of jumping from an aeroplane at a height of 12,000ft without an instructor attached to you! Don't worry there will be two at your side. Even we are not that crazy. You will experience close to a minute of freefall and when you deploy your parachute your instructors will leave your side. You will then float gently back down to planet earth where you will be guided backed to the landing area via radio assistance. This is a fantastic experience, truly amazing. It is also part one of an eight level course that can lead to you becoming a qualified skydiver!

Your day will start with six hours of ground instruction where you will be taught all you need to know in order to safely (!) jump out of a plane without an instructor strapped to you. By the time of the jump you will know about exits, stability, altitude awareness and control of the parachute canopy. When you jump two instructors will jump with you and stay by your side making sure that all is OK using the hand signals that you will have learnt in your training. After around 7000ft of freefall you will deploy your parachute and float back down to earth. Radio assistance is given under canopy during the descent and landing if necessary. This Level One of an Eight Level course if you want to continue and become a qualified skydiver.
