You Can Become a Licensed Skydiver!
Tandem Progression and Accelerated Freefall program.
| Should your first jump have been a tandem skydive, you may enter the Tandem Progression program. Before your 2nd and 3rd Tandem Skydive you will be taught how to maintain your heading, turn your body, and to move forward while in freefall. During the skydive you will be responsible for maintaining altitude awareness, and pulling your ripcord at your assigned altitude. Like all tandem skydives, these jumps will be made with a certified instructor who will provide teaching assistance for the entire freefall and canopy ride. After your successful completion of the the tandem progression program you will attend the ground school and enter the AFF program at level 3. |

of all levels you will be permitted to jump without assistance from
