Beginners/Intermediates

SkySchool runs IFF (Introductory Freefall) and AFF (Accelerated Freefall) Skydiving courses all year round at Empuriabrava in north east Catalunya, Spain. No previous experience necessary for either of these courses.

Introductory Course - IFFAFF Level 1

If you are looking for an exciting adventure, a sense of achievement and the chance to skydive solo with the safety of jumping with experienced instructors then the IFF course is for you.

Course Price: £445 - Ground training, Tandem & AFF Level 1 with Video

Plus insurance: €75 - Medical & third-party liability valid for three months.

The 2 day course offers you one day of ground school training during which you will learn all about your equipment and how to fly your body in freefall. Having completed the ground training, you make a tandem skydive from 12,500 feet where you demonstrate the ability to fly your body in Freefall, open the parachute and fly it safely to the ground. Now, you are ready for Level 1 Accelerated Freefall (AFF), your first assisted solo skydive on your own parachute. This jump is made from 12,500 feet with two instructors. After a couple of deep breaths, you launch yourself from the plane, along with two instructors. During the next 55 seconds of exhilarating freefall, you will experience body flight and perform a series of freefall skills. At 5000 feet, you open your own parachute and fly it gently back to earth with the assistance of radio communication from the ground. After landing, you are presented with an achievement certificate, a log book of your jumps and a video of your Level 1 AFF. With this experience, you have the option of continuing with the remainder of the AFF and becoming a licensed skydiver.

During one day of ground training you will learn all about your equipment and how to fly your body in freefall.

Your jumps will always be recorded by air-to-air video to allow the instructor to give you the most accurate post-jump debriefing of your performance. The descents are all controlled by radio link to an instructor on the ground, in order for you to learn to fly and land your parachute in all safety.

On successful completion of the AFF course, you are presented with an achievement certificate, a log book and DVD of your jumps.
