"Two day" Square Parachute "Static Line" Course with jumps from 3500 feet!

Get the Flash Player to see this player.

A course for those wishing to learn how to jump on their own.

First jumps are made from 3500 feet using a static line - a system which automatically deploys your main parachute as you fall away from the aircraft and are the first stage of a training programme that could lead to you obtaining your licence.

Having completed a minimum of six static line jumps (learning the art of falling away from the aircraft whilst practicing pulling a dummy rip cord handle) you could be ready for your first free fall.

Short 3 second delays first, then 5 second delays, then 10 second delays, then 15 second delays, and so on, each time building up your experience and jumping from higher and higher altitudes.

In a minimum of 18 jumps you could obtain your licence and qualify as a skydiver free falling on your own for approximately 70 seconds from altitudes up to 13,000 feet deploying your parachute to be open at 2000 feet.

Prices are as follows...

1 person attending on their own	£195
2 people attending as a group	£180 per person
3 people attending as a group	£165 per person
4 people attending as a group	£155 per person
5 - 9 people attending as a group	£145 per person
10 - 14 people attending as a group	£135 per person
