Students

You can begin the ACCELERATED FREEFALL (AFF) program at Skydive Suffolk after completing your first tandem jump.  Training for your first AFF jump takes approximately 4-5 hours and includes aircraft procedures, the opening sequence of a parachute, emergency procedures, landing techniques, and practical exercises in body positions for exits and freefall. Following ground training, two instructors will guide you through the exit, freefall, deployment, and landing processes. After completing the first jump course, you will receive one on one instruction as you work towards earning your USPA A-License (minimum 25 jumps).

Student Pricing

After competing the First Jump Course and your First Skydive, you may decide to continue with the student program and earn your A-License from the United States Parachute Association. Please contact us for more details.
