Learn to Skydive

The thrill of a lifetime!

Accelerated Freefall (AFF) Course

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.

Ground Training

You start with a full day’s training on the ground.

You will be taught everything you need to know for your first jump. You’ll learn:

  • how to exit an aircraft
  • how to stay stable in freefall
  • how to deploy your parachute
  • how to handle various scenarios once your parachute is open, and
  • how to fly your parachute back to earth

Your first skydive will be thoroughly planned with your skydiving instructors so you’ll know exactly what to do.

Jumping with 2 Instructors

You’re not alone once you’re under parachute!

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.

Jumping with 1 Instructor

Learn to do a mid-air 360, and even a back flip!

As you become more competent in the air, you'll go with one instructor & they'll let go of you when you're ready. They’ll still be right there giving you any signals you need. You’ll learn how to do a mid-air 360, and even a back flip!

Jumping Totally Solo!

Ready to apply for your first skydiving license!

Once competent, the final jump on your Learn to Skydive course will be totally solo!

After you have completed your AFF course you’ll have the skills to jump solo. Once you have 10 additional solo freefall jumps you’ll be ready to apply for your first skydiving license.

Your ‘A-license’ will be recognised all over the world.
