Learn to Skydive on your own!

Experience the thrill of skydiving all by yourself. To do so, you will undergo Ground School training and then be shown how to jump alone in a safe environment.

Training:

Training for a solo jump takes a minimum of 6 hours on Saturdays only. The most modern ram-air student-parachutes are used. You jump from a height of 3,500 feet. You jump on your own and the main parachute is opened automatically as you leave the aircraft.

Your instructor is a highly experienced skydiver who will help you, not only on your first jump, but right through your skydiving progression.

Safety

You will always wear two parachutes, one of which is used as a reserve in the unlikely event of the main parachute not functioning correctly. After introduction and documentation is complete you learn about your parachute equipment, how to exit the aircraft and fall in the correct position. You’ll also learn how to steer the parachute to a good landing area, aircraft drills and emergency procedures.

Duration

The time you have selected is your arrival time and NOT your jump time (weather conditions may impact timings) Please allow for a full day at the club.
