If you’re really adventurous why not take the first part of a professional skydivers course – also known as Accelerated Freefall (AFF Level 1 for short). You’ll have a full day’s ground training from two qualified instructors before you skydive solo from 10,000 feet – just like the real thing!!!
What does the jump involve?
Learning to skydive solo is a big challenge and you will start with a full day’s training including practical and classroom sessions covering all areas of making a solo skydive from 10,000 feet! On the second day, once your instructors are satisfied that you are ready, you will climb aboard the aircraft to be taken to your jump altitude. Whilst you will skydive solo (ie with nobody attached to you) your two instructors will jump with you and be by your side until approximately 5,000 feet when you pull your parachute canopy. From that point you will steer your parachute on your own but will be guided to the dropzone by ground control who will talk you down all the way. All in all Accelerated Freefall is as close as you can get to the real thing!!
Points to remember:
To make your Accelerated Freefall Jump for free all you need to do is raise £535 for Pancreatic Cancer Action which is fantastic value considering you are taking the first part of a professional skydiving qualification! To book your jump simply read the pages entitled ‘Important Information’ and ‘Paying Your Sponsorship Money’ then book online.
