  1. THE MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF SKYDIVING

  2. You’ve probably heard of tandem skydiving. But did you know there are loads of other types of skydiving to enjoy too? Tandem skydiving is, of course, awesome. There’s nothing quite like that first jump, and so often that jump is made strapped to a skydiving instructor who makes the whole experience super fun and chilled. You can also learn to skydive by yourself, and once you achieve your license, there’s a world of opportunity awaiting! Whether you want to learn to make pretty shapes in the sky, fly on all angles or focus more on your parachute flight, there’s something for everyone, as we’ll explain here.

  3. TANDEM SKYDIVING Tandem skydiving is the most popular choice amongst first-time skydivers. As a tandem skydiving student, you’ll be attached to an experienced tandem skydiving instructor. It’s their job to operate the equipment and make sure you have a great time. Notice that we call you a tandem skydiving ‘student’ and not a ‘passenger’. This is because you’re not just hanging there… no no! You also have a part to play in your skydive. During your 30-minute skydiving brief,

  4. AFF (ACCELERATED FREEFALL) you’ll learn all about the exit position, how to make an arched body position for freefall and the importance of lifting your legs for landing. Tandem skydiving is a great way to experience skydiving, without having to go through training to be able to do it by yourself. Take in the views, breathe in the air and experience every moment of this incredible jump. • AFF, or accelerated freefall, is the program we use to teach new skydivers.

  5. AFF is so called because it is perhaps the most efficient way to learn to skydive. You’ll learn all you need to know about flying your body, deploying your parachute and flying it to earth, and what to do if things don’t go quite to plan, as part of your ground training. Then, you’ll jump accompanied by two highly experienced AFF instructors who will hold you at first but as you progress through the jumps, they’ll be less active and you’ll be able to fly independently. By your last AFF jump, you’ll have just one instructor, and then you’ll be expected to complete a series of consolidation jumps before obtaining your skydiving license.

  6. FORMATION SKYDIVING (BELLY) Formation skydiving is probably the type you’re most used to seeing. This is where we fall in a belly-to-earth position (as you do on a tandem skydive) and create shapes – or formations – by holding on to one another’s arms and legs.
