Tandem | Attached safely to an instructor, this is a great way to give skydiving a whirl. Because you're jumping secured to a professional, you don't need to have the in-depth training/preparation you would when learning to skydive solo. Tandem jumps are also popular gifts for friends and family.
Accelerated Free-fall | This recognised course, an extensive program that includes a number of stages, is designed to teach you to skydive solo. You'll be required to participate in on-the-ground training and, when first cleared to jump, it will be in the company of two instructors available to assist during free-fall.
Static Line | When jumping static line, it's generally from a low altitude. You're attached to the aircraft through a line at one end and your parachute at the other, so your fall pulls the line tight, activating your main chute. Over subsequent jumps, you will gradually increase altitude and free-fall, and learn to release your own chute.
