Initial Skydive Training

Learn to skydive at South Africa’s most scenic dropzone, Skydive Mossel Bay! Depending on how much time you have, how much cash you’ve got to spend, and how strong your nerves are, you have three options for your first skydiving course depending on which method of skydiving you prefer for your first jump: Tandem Jumping, Static Line Training (S/L), or Accelerated Free Fall Training (AFF).

 

These learn to skydive courses vary in that some are designed to give you a quick experience and introduction to skydiving while others start with full blown, first jump courses that will set you on the path to becoming a licensed skydiver.

A skydive from 10,000 feet or 14,000 feet with a tandem instructor. You are attached to the tandem instructor by a special harness and jump out the plane together. The instructor wears the specifically designed tandem parachute on his back and is in control of the exit and freefall. Once the parachute opens, you can help steer or just relax and enjoy the views while he does all the work.

Although it seems very scary, over the years tandem skydiving in South Africa has evolved and developed leaps and bounds, making it safer than ever before. With advances and additions to equipement like an automatic activation device (AAD), it helps to make it even safer. The instructors also contribute to making it a safer experience. Before a skydiver can become a tandem instructor, he must have a minimum of 800 skydives and undergone extensive training and evaluation approved by the Parachute Association of South Africa. Our instructors have been skydiving for many years with thousands of skydives under their belts so you will be in good hands.

Probably yes but that’s a natural feeling for someone skydiving for the first time. A bit of nerves are to be expected. Even experienced sport jumpers feel a little afraid just before they exit the plane. It’s part of the adrenalin rush of adventure sports. You will also be excited, delighted, and thrilled.
