About the Experience
Skydiving Experience Days: Become a fully qualified independent skydiver in just days with this intensive Accelerated Freefall (AFF) course. With expert instruction and rapid progression through each level, you will complete at least eight skydives as you work toward your Category 8 licence. This modern, progressive training syllabus takes you from complete beginner to confident solo skydiver through a mix of theory sessions, static line jumps and freefall experiences—giving you a rock-solid understanding of every aspect of the sport. By the end, you’ll be ready to enjoy solo freefall anywhere in the world.
Your adventure begins with a full day of ground school, where your instructor will introduce you to skydiving theory, parachute systems and essential safety procedures. You'll learn exactly how to exit the aircraft, maintain stability, communicate in freefall, deploy your parachute and steer yourself safely to the landing zone. Before your first jump, you will practise each procedure until your instructor is confident you’re ready.
Then it’s time to head skyward. At around 13,000 feet, you will exit the aircraft with two instructors by your side and put your training into action. After maximising your freefall time and deploying your parachute yourself, you will navigate confidently back to the landing area before receiving a full debrief and prep for your next jump. After a minimum of eight jumps, you will be skydiving completely solo—an unforgettable achievement and the start of a lifelong adventure.
