Day 2 is your first jump exiting the plane at 12,000 ft with two Instructors holding on. Landing is under the direct assistance of the Target Control Officer.
Stage 2 & 3 - Cost: $370.00 (for each stage)
Guided in for a safe landing. Stage 2 increases your aerial awareness in preparation for stage 3 which is the first time your instructors will release you in freefall. There is a comprehensive briefing before each jump and debriefing afterwards.

Scenic plane ride and your first Solo Skydive! A hop and pop from 3,500ft. YAHOO!!!
Congratulations on completing your Accelerated Freefall Course!
Solo Accuracy Jumps (12000'ft) - Cost $80.00 (each jump)
Landing on target. To qualify for your 'A' license, you may need further skydives until you have 10 stable freefalls of at least 10 seconds all landing within 25 meters of the target. In addition, you will be examined on the rules of parachuting and must be able to pack a main canopy unassisted. Courses start weekly on Tuesdays and generally take about 10 days to complete, depending on the weather.
PLEASE NOTE: if you do not pass a stage, you are required to repeat it at your own expense.
