Start skydiving
A structured progression from your first briefing to a licence, coached personally from start to finish.
The first route
Your first route should teach you how to think in the sky.
Not a tandem souvenir. A guided AFF route that builds the judgement, habits and independence you need to keep flying after the certificate.
The route
The guided AFF route
Typically 3 to 6 weeks, depending on weather and your availability
6 stages
Overview
A structured progression from your first briefing to a licence, run as one continuous plan rather than a series of unrelated jumps.
Every stage has a defined objective, a debrief, and a decision about what comes next. Nothing is left to chance or to whoever happens to be on the dropzone that day.
Who it is for
Built for people who intend to become skydivers rather than tick off a single tandem jump. If you want a licence and the judgement to use it safely, this is the route.
Requirements
Before your first jump you need:
- To be 18 or older
- Reasonable general fitness and no disqualifying medical conditions
- A medical declaration accepted by the dropzone
- Enough time to jump consistently rather than sporadically
Included
- Ground school and pre-jump briefings
- Equipment rental for every jump in the plan
- Video debrief after each jump
- A written progression record you keep
Excluded
- Travel to and from the dropzone
- Accommodation and meals
- Personal equipment purchases
- Repeat jumps beyond the agreed plan
Outcomes
You finish with a recognised licence, a logbook that reflects real competence, and a plan for the next stage rather than an open question about what to do now.
How it feels
Progression you can feel, jump by jump.
Ground school, exit practice, freefall skills and canopy work stay connected — each jump prepares the decision you will make on the next one.
