What is AFF (Accelerated Freefall) Course?
Want to experience real skydiving from your first jump? AFF is the way to go. Unlike other methods where you’re attached to a static line, with AFF you get the full freefall experience right away – with instructors holding onto you for safety, of course!
It’s called “accelerated” because you learn much faster. Instead of working your way up to freefall, you dive straight into it (literally) with expert guidance.
