Make sure to bring your gov’t issued ID with you to class, we’ll take a photocopy when you check in! Its also a great idea to bring a notebook to jot down all of the things you’ll be learning about in class, snacks for in class hunger needs and a water bottle for refueling! We have fridges, a microwave and toaster oven if you’d like to bring a lunch with you, you’ll have a couple small breaks throughout the day and a longer break for lunch if you need to run to a store to grab a bite.

Unfortunately, yes there are. You must be between the age of 18 - 60 to begin AFF. In addition, skydiving requires a certain amount of flexibility and requires you to be in good physical and medical health for safety reasons. Therefore, we cannot promise that everyone who takes the first jump course will be able to jump.

After you have reserved your slot in an upcoming course, our online reservation system should automatically send you a confirmation e-mail. The Wednesday before your scheduled course is when we typically send out a more detailed e-mail that includes the course notes.

The first jump course is a minimum of 6 hours in length. We need to cover everything that you will need to know to safely make your first jump, and it includes topics such as: skydiving equipment, freefall body position, how to steer your parachute, and emergency procedures for a variety of situations. Please be well rested and prepared to spend the entire day at Skydive Palatka.

The Accelerated Freefall (AFF) portion of your training is a minimum of 7 jumps. After that you will be able to jump by yourself. Following AFF you will begin to work on group freefall skills (flying relative to someone else) and perfecting your canopy skills. The USPA A license takes a minimum of 25 jumps to obtain.

Great question! After you complete AFF you’re on solo statice where you’ll do a serious of solo jumps and jumps with instructors. This is where you really start honing in group skydiving skills and perfecting canopy skills and your landings! You’ll also learn more about the equipment you jump, planes and safety precautions.

No problem! We require 24 notice for any changes to your reservation. Any cancelations or reschedules made the day of your First Jump Course will result in forfeiting your deposit. You can give us a call at 386-328-0606 with any questions or changes.

Weather depending we try to plan on having all students make their first jump the same day while everything is fresh in your head! Bring or wear comfy clothing and closed toed shoes with you to class.

You’ll want to do this every time you come!
