The first jump course includes approximately four hours of ground training, preparing you for freefall with two instructors at your side and radio contact with the ground during the parachute descent, flying it down for a soft landing.
Once you've completed a few required jumps to prefect your abilities, you will be cleared to solo status. (Approximately 8 - 10 jumps). Once cleared for solo status you can begin your own experiences and hopefully continue skydiving with fun and safety.
