If you have ever dreamed of flying, and excitement is what you need, then skydiving is for you!

The first step towards becoming a qualified skydiver is to do our Accelerated Freefall (AFF) course. We designed this course to teach you everything you need to gain an "A" licence to be a participant in the sport. The AFF course utilises the latest in instructional techniques, freefall video equipment and parachute systems along with highly qualified instructors specialising in the art of freefall control. We only use the most advanced and up-to-date equipment with all parachutes fitted with computerised back-up opening devices

“A” licence
To obtain your “A” licence you must complete the Freefall course, learn to pack a parachute, complete a written exam and land 10 times within 25 metres of a designated target – all of these things are easily achievable with the professional training you are given.

* Receive a discount if you pay for the full course upfront for only $2250 (repeat stages excluded, all stages from 10,000ft)*
