If you are serious about taking skydiving up as a sport then this is the option for you. After an intensive training course you get to jump from approximately 12,000 ft with the assistance of 2 qualified instructors. You will soon be progressing through the 8 levels en route to becoming a qualified skydiver.

AFF is an intensive course, more expensive but allowing rapid progression in skydiving. Your first descent is from 12,000 feet accompanied by two highly specialised instructors who will guide you in freefall by way of hand signals and under canopy with radio communication. You will experience 40-45 seconds of freefall before you open your own, ram-air canopy at 5,000 feet. This is the real sport!

Your first AFF jump is part of a week’s course of 8-10 jumps which will qualify you as a skydiver in your own right. If you know you want to take up skydiving, this is probably the quickest and most motivating method by which to do it – although of course it is not cheap.
