TANDEM ASSISTED FREEFALL (TAF) Course

Learn to skydive starting with Tandem
The first step towards becoming a qualified skydiver is to take our "TAF" course. We designed this course to teach you everything you need to know to be a participant in the sport. The Tandem Assisted Freefall (TAF) 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.
