Continuing Certification
There are two options for becoming a solo certified skydiver: Tandem Assisted Freefall and Solo (AFF) Freefall. In as few as 7 levels of skydiving, you can be solo certified enabling you to jump by yourself.
Most people choose, and we recommend, a Tandem skydive for a first skydive experience. For those individuals who are highly motivated and ready to commit to a serious freefall training program, the Solo Freefall course is available, beginning with the Solo ground school and AFF Level 1.
Tandem classes are available daily.
Solo classes for new students are scheduled primarily on weekends, although special arrangements are available daily. Please call for available dates as advance registration is required. Private classes can be arranged for an additional fee.
