The Academy package is the ideal way to start your skydiving journey, combining both skydiving and indoor skydiving to build your foundation as a “Pro Flyer.” This package includes ground training and provides you with essential skills for progressing through AFF levels.

AFF COURSE PREPARATION

The skydive academy is a fast-track way to learn to skydive, guiding Accelerated Free Fall (AFF) through essential skills for a solo skydive, including body control and stability. Wind tunnel training can greatly benefit AFF students by allowing them to practise freefall techniques in a controlled environment, helping them master skills and gain confidence before their AFF skydive, making progression smoother and safer.

Certification

BRITISH SKYDIVING TRAINING

With our Skydive Academy and wind tunnel training, participants can progress from beginner to licensed skydiver, gaining the skills needed for a solo skydive or even to become a qualified skydiving instructor. This thrilling sport isn’t just for professionals—it’s also a fantastic way to experience the excitement of flying solo. Our tunnel training provides essential practice for British Skydiving certifications, helping students build the expertise and confidence to teach others who dream of learning to skydive.

AGE AND WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS

WHO CAN LEARN TO SKYDIVE?

Anyone aged 4 and up can learn to skydive, with a maximum age limit—everyone is encouraged to get involved! For safety reasons, we do have weight limits: to participate in a tandem skydive in our wind tunnel, flyers must weigh between 20 kg and 120 kg.

Once you’ve completed your first skydive, it’s onward and quite literally upward! After finishing the full course, you can become a Pro Flyer in our wind tunnel or apply all these new skills to progress through the AFF levels—and even work toward becoming a qualified skydiver.
