For those who are serious about skydiving

AFF stands for "Accelerated Free Fall". It's a modern, highly successful and fun skydiving course that lets you experience freefall, deploying and landing a parachute from your very first jump.

You'll make your first skydive from 14,500ft accompanied by two expert instructors after an extensive on the ground training session which normally takes a day. You will experience the rush and amazing beauty of freefall at around 120mph. You become a skydiver in your own right.

It's the perfect skydiving experience for someone who is serious about getting a real introduction to skydiving from day one - and who wants a level of control from their very first skydive. AFF is a highly rewarding personal achievement.

The skills you need to skydive - fast!

After completing AFF Level 1 - you can then go on to complete a further 7 skydives whilst accompanied by expert instructors to achieve the basic skills required to skydive on your own.

You can receive the training and make your first AFF skydive most weekends and can then progress with the full AFF course in as little as 3 days or like many students choose to train over a series of weekends to suit you.
