Before you book your course you will need to be decide whether you are going to make a one-off Tandem, a one-off Accelerated Freefall or embark upon a full Accelerated Freefall Course.
If you are planning to make a one-off Tandem or Accelerated Freefall, you have the option to Jump for Charity. This is a popular option with many people as you are then able to enjoy your chosen skydive at no cost to yourself providing you raise a minimum level of sponsorship. If this option appeals to you then check our Jump for Charity page for details. Otherwise, you will be responsible for paying for your own course fees when you make your booking.
If you would rather make a solo skydive or you would like to become a regular freefall parachutist then the Accelerated Freefall Course is the ideal route for you to follow. After eight satisfactorily completed AFF skydives you will be able to consolidate your experience and progress to advanced levels of sport parachuting.
