Itinerary
& Highlights |
| |
Becoming a fully fledged skydiver takes intensive training, concentration and a lot of nerve. However, once you qualify the sky is yours.
Many skydivers, like our main instructor Richie Pym (pictured opposite left with some friends during his 10,000th descent), make a very good living from instructing, formation diving and demonstrations
To fully qualify you need to firstly pass the Accelerated Freefall Course (AFF) before making a further 10 supervised consolidation jumps (either abroad or at home) which will earn you the British Parachute Association’s “A” Licence (BPA “A” Licence). After that, you can skydive anywhere in the world.
Accelerated Freefall Course (AFF)
Undoubtedly the quickest route to becoming a qualified skydiver. However, no corners are cut on the way, the course is highly intensive combining jumps with hours of ground school training and tuition froma fully qualified instructor.
British Parachute Association “A” Licence (BPA “A”)
Once you have achieved your AFF licence you are required to make a further ten consolidation jumps before becoming fully qualified.
Many people prefer to complete the AFF in Spain and then find a drop zone back home to complete these descents. Others extend their stay and go all the way before returning home. We offer both options here.
Saturday
Arrival, Transfers and Introduction
Transfers from Girona Airport to your accommodation in Empuriabrava.
Sunday
Ground School and Tandem Skydive
During ground training you learn about your equipment and make a tandem skydive to demonstrate your ability to fly your body in freefall.
Mon to Fri
Arrival, Transfers and Introduction
Now you are ready for Level 1 (AFF), your first solo skydive. This jump is from 12,500 feet with two instructors. On the first 3 levels, two instructors will accompany you in freefall. The last 4 jumps only require one instructor.
All of your jumps are recorded on video to allow the instructor to give post-jump debriefings. Descents are controlled by radio link to an instructor on the ground in order for you to learn to fly and land your parachute in complete safety.
On completion of the course, you receive an achievement certificate,
a jump log book and a video of your 7 AFF levels. You now have the option of continuing with consolidation jumps to become a fully licensed skydiver allowing you to jump anywhere in the world.
Saturday
Depart (or consolidation jumps for BPA “A”)
Return transfer to Girona Airport or extend your stay for three days
to achieve your BPA “A” qualification. The consolidation course includes a further ten descents, a “hop & pop” (jump from 5,000ft), 1 month temporary BPA membership, canopy handling tuition and Canopy Handling 1 examination.
