Skydiving is the ultimate thrill, and if you’ve ever dreamed of flying solo, Accelerated Freefall (AFF) is your gateway to making that dream a reality. With expert guidance, you’ll jump from up to 12,500 feet and begin the thrilling journey of becoming a licensed skydiver. By completing the AFF training at Skydive Elsinore, you’re taking the first step toward earning your USPA A-License, a powerful credential that gives you the freedom to skydive anywhere in the world.

Why Choose AFF Training at Skydive Elsinore?

When you choose AFF training at Skydive Elsinore, you’re committing to an exhilarating, hands-on learning experience. Unlike tandem skydiving, where you’re attached to an instructor, AFF allows you to freefall with your own parachute from the start. What makes this even better is that you’re never alone—two experienced instructors will be right there, guiding you and helping you build confidence at each step of the way.

Phase 1: Foundation and Supervised Jumps at Skydive Elsinore

Your skydiving journey starts with an intensive 6-8 hour ground school at Skydive Elsinore.

Once you’re ready, you’ll take your first supervised jump with the guidance of two expert instructors, who will ensure you feel secure and confident as you practice body positioning, stability, and deployment techniques.

Phase 2: Building Confidence through Solo Jumps

After completing the foundation phase, you’ll advance to solo jumps where you’ll refine your freefall skills and improve your technique. Each jump increases your independence and prepares you for the next stage—earning your USPA A-License.
