Skydiving

Accelerated Free Fall (AFF) course has nine (9) stages to become a qualified skydiver towards achieving your A license. We recommend SA Skydiving at Langhorne Creek to instruct you through the AFF course. Most people hand over $300 or maybe more for a tandem and are no closer to being a solo jumper. The AFF course has nine stages. The course is offered stage by stage. Begin this way and you are on your way to becoming a qualified skydiver.
