Learn to Skydive with Skysport team - Accelerated Free Fall (AFF) Courses

The AFF course is based on eight Levels of accomplishment, normally one skydive at each Level, and is designed to take place over a full week or broken down over a few w/ends. Given good weather, the course may sometimes be completed in as little as 3 days. After graduating from the Course, you perform a further ten consolidation jumps, guided by your Instructors, practising the skills you have learned, after which you will be awarded 'Category Eight' - and your first International Skydiving Licence!
The course commences with a full day of ground tuition with your Instructor. This covers the theory and practice of Skydiving and the use of your parachute system. You will learn safety procedures, how the equipment operates, how to exit the aircraft with your Instructors, how to maintain control and communicate in freefall, how to initiate the opening of the main parachute, and how to steer down to the landing area and land safely. Before jumping, you will practise all the procedures for both your skydive and the parachute descent until your Instructors are completely satisfied with your abilities.
Then you'll take the aircraft right ‘to the top’ - around 4000 m. - and with one instructor at each side you'll exit the aircraft and put your new skills to the test!
With the maximum amount of time in freefall, and the very best instructors at your side (these guys have done over 10 000 skydives each!), you'll get the ultimate experience and the maximum achievement!
Once you've deployed your own parachute (yes, on your first jump!), you'll fly it safely back to the landing area yourself and meet your instructors for a de-brief and a 20 minute brief for your next skydive.

With our full-time experienced instructors it's possible to complete all 8 AFF
Levels in as little as 3 days!
Yes - that's you in the air, skydiving by yourself, in 3 days!
We also offer an option to have a Freefall Photographer with you on Levels 1 to 7, providing a video record for you to keep.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is Tandem Skydiving?
Tandemo skydiving is the best method for making your first skydive. It takes a minimal amount of instruction, and allows you to make your initial skydive(s) with an instructor harnessed to you for the entire skydiving experience.
2. What is Accelerated Free Fall?
 is the quickest method of becoming a qualified skydiver and is also the easiest way to learn with approximately 50 seconds of free fall on every jump guided by our expert instructors. Most of OUR skydives are made from 4000 m., and AFF usually turns out to be much cheaper in the long run, and much more fun than the outdated static line method.
3. What are the benefits of AFF over other training methods?
There are many benefits, but two of the main ones are the continuous exposure to free fall, that means that you are in free fall for a long time giving you the time to practice your free fall techniques. Another is our ability to teach you in free fall using hand signals to adjust your body position, thereby giving you a better result.
4. How will I know how I am doing on the course?
As well as your debriefs, we offer video of your jumps, these videos are used to show you how well you are doing and are also combined for you to have and take with you as a record of the whole trip.
5. How does free fall feel?
Free Fall is not the stomach churning feeling of a fun fair ride; because you are falling on a cushion of air like a hovercraft it is a feeling of buoyancy similar to being in the wate, but with a much greater thrill.
6. What if I do not open the parachute?
The opening of the parachute is a very simple affair where you take a toggle attached to a pilot chute and throw it into the airflow; the parachute then opens in sequence. If you lost altitude awareness we would guide you through hand signals telling you to open the parachute and if you did not respond we would open it for you. You should also recognize that our parachutes are fitted with a computerized automatic activation device, which would open the parachute for you if all else failed.
7. After opening is it easy to find the landing zone and fly the parachute to land in the target area?
This worries many people, but everyone finds this easy, after teaching you exactly what to do we give you a mounted radio, and talk you down till you are confident and competent to fly and land yourself. Our canopies fly at approximately 20 mph and are great fun to steer across the sky.
8. Are the landings hard?
We now use the latest ram air canopies, which allow you to land like a fairies fluff! Even the big guys can be afforded soft landings.
9. Is packing the parachute difficult?
Packing is a very simple procedure, we teach you to pack as the course progresses so that you will be competent at all aspects of skydiving before we are finished with you. You are not expected to pack parachutes on your initial skydives.
10. Will I be scared?
Everyone experiences some fear throughout the course. Some find the first jump the most frightening, whereas others feel more relaxed about the first skydive, then feel it later in the course. This is part of the adrenalin buzz of this course. One of the things you will achieve is the ability to confront and control your fear, when you get past this stage you can really start to relax and enjoy the sport.
