The most common route to becoming a licensed skydiver in Australia.
Your first skydives will be with two instructors holding onto you in freefall, helping you remain in control and giving you signals reminding you what to do. You’re not alone once you’re under parachute! Radio communication & ground signals are used to help guide you down the rest of the way. AFF is a guided, step-by-step course that teaches you all the skills you need to be able to jump totally solo. This normally takes 7-10 jumps depending on the course style & your progression.
