You have never jumped before
You are curious about skydiving but do not know whether to start with tandem, AFF or a consultation first.
Skydive Coach Spain
Startskydivingin Spain with guidance, not guesswork.
Your first step into skydiving should feel clear — not chaotic.
Spain-based planningMultilingual supportBeginner-friendly guidanceNo-pressure first step
Thinking about skydiving in Spain but not sure where to begin? I help you understand the difference between tandem, AFF and the path to becoming a licensed skydiver — before you book anything.
You do not need more adrenaline. You need clarity.
From the outside, skydiving looks simple: choose a date, arrive at the dropzone, get in the plane and jump. But if you are thinking about actually starting the sport, the first decision matters.
You may be asking:
- Should I do a tandem first or start with AFF?
- Is AFF too serious for a complete beginner?
- How many days should I leave in Spain for training and weather?
- What if I am scared?
- Can I learn in my language?
- What happens after the first course?
You do not need to know the perfect option yet. You only need to know your next step.
This is for you if…
You want to become a skydiver
You are not looking only for a one-time tourist experience. You want to understand the path toward training, licence and progression.
You are excited but nervous
You want honest expectations, calm explanation and a coach who can help you prepare before you arrive.
You are coming to Spain for training
You want language support, realistic planning and help understanding how skydiving training works here before you arrange travel or dates.
You are not sure what to book
You see tandem, AFF, licence, coaching and camps — but you are not sure which option matches your real goal.
Find your route
Tandem jump or AFF — what should you choose?
The best first step depends on your goal: experience freefall once, start learning to jump independently, or clarify the route before spending money on dates, travel or tunnel time. There is no single right answer for everyone.
01
Tandem jump
Best for a first experience. Plan for a half-day activity, instructor-attached freefall, simple requirements and a separate decision later if you want to continue toward AFF.
Stage route
02
AFF course
Best if your goal is to become a skydiver. Plan for ground school, multiple training days, weather buffer, medical or paperwork checks, possible repeats and a path after the supervised levels.
Stage route
03
First-step consultation
Best before booking travel or paying a provider. You leave with one practical recommendation, likely budget lines, date buffer, questions for the dropzone and what should happen after the first step.
Stage route
The beginner path is simple when it is explained properly.
01
Ask where you are now
We start with your real situation: experience, fears, dates, language, budget and goal.
02
Choose the right first step
Not every beginner needs the same starting point. Some people should begin with a tandem jump. Others are ready to discuss AFF directly.
03
Understand AFF before booking
AFF is a real training course, not just an adrenaline activity. You should understand the levels, schedule, possible repeats, weather delays and what the course expects from you.
04
Prepare before arrival
Good preparation makes the first training days calmer. You should know what to expect, what to bring, how to plan your dates and how to think about the course.
05
Begin without feeling alone
You start with a clearer plan, not a random booking. You understand what will happen, what to expect and what the next decision should be.
06
Know what can come after
AFF is only the first training stage. After that, you can continue toward licence progression, structured solo development, video feedback and a clearer plan for your next jumps.
What your first step can look like
Total beginners need calm context before they choose between tandem, AFF, tunnel or a preparation call.

Beginner questions before you book
Being scared is common. Start by understanding tandem, AFF and what the first training steps actually involve, so the first decision feels realistic before you book.
You do not need to be an elite athlete, but you do need to meet the medical and mobility requirements for the route you choose. We can clarify the basic requirements before you choose a route.
Yes. Planning support can be in English, Russian, Ukrainian or Spanish, and briefing language is clarified before you travel.
After AFF, the next step is consolidation jumps, licence requirements and coaching based on your actual progress.
Plan more than the minimum course days. Weather, pace and repeat levels can affect timing, so a realistic buffer is part of the plan.
Yes, some students start with AFF directly. The right choice depends on your goal, readiness, schedule and comfort with training expectations.
A tandem jump is a first experience where you jump connected to an instructor. AFF is a training course where you begin learning to jump independently.
The cost depends on whether you choose a tandem jump, AFF course, extra jumps, repeats, travel dates and the dropzone. I can help you understand the realistic budget before you book.
Many adults start skydiving later than they expected. What matters is your health, requirements, mindset and the right first step for your situation.
Fear is normal. The goal is not to pretend you are not scared, but to prepare properly, understand the process and choose the right first step.
Yes. You do not need to be ready to book. You can start by explaining your situation and asking what first step makes sense.
