Come prepared with comfortable clothing, sneakers, water bottle, and sunscreen for the Namibian climate. Friends and family are warmly welcomed at the dropzone.

EMERGENCY TRAINING & SAFETY PROCEDURES

Comprehensive emergency training covers malfunction procedures, cutaway protocols, and reserve deployment techniques.

FAQs

Our AFF Course FAQ has all the answers you need—from training details to requirements—so you can focus on the excitement of learning to skydive safely and confidently.

Be medically fit, ages of 18 years old and above and no more than 110kg in weight.

Don’t worry! You can repeat any level as needed with full instructor support until you’re ready to progress.

Yes, all gear is regularly maintained and inspected in line with USPA regulations and safety standards. Every piece of equipment undergoes thorough checks by qualified riggers and instructors to ensure it’s in top condition before each jump, so you can focus on learning and enjoying your skydive with peace of mind.

Yes! Instructors guide you safely through each step. Most students find the fear turns into exhilaration once in freefall.

General good health is required. You don’t need to be an athlete, but some cardio fitness helps. Always consult your doctor if unsure.

Jumps may be rescheduled due to low clouds, fog, or strong winds. Ground school and theory sessions continue, and you’ll jump as soon as conditions improve.

While optional, wind tunnel training is highly recommended to practice body position and freefall control before jumps.

In ideal conditions, many students complete their AFF certification within two weeks. However, skydiving is weather-dependent, and individual progress varies. Strong winds, cloud cover, or the need for extra training jumps may extend the timeline.

THE ALTERNATIVE ROUTE

Static Line Course

The Static Line Course offers a budget-friendly introduction to skydiving. This one-day program includes 6 hours of ground training covering equipment basics and canopy control.

When it’s time to jump, a static line attached between you and the aircraft ensures your parachute opens automatically at 3,000 feet after aircraft exit. What follows is a solo canopy flight and radio guided landing back to safe ground.
