 Preliminary Course - 22nd to 24th December 2008 (3 Days)
After completion of the first day the 3 day course
consists of around 20 basic exercises, that the
student is asked to perform under their canopy.
During the course the student will perform each
exercise at least once so each exercise is
understood. Further ground school modules are
completed, covering canopy dive flows, logging of
the information collected, and choosing a canopy.
The student is also introduced to the further 8 more
technical, but essential, in air exercises. However,
time does not normally allow for these exercises to
be completed under supervision.
The price for the course is 400ˆ per person and this
includes 10 hop and pops. Jim Harris of Outbreak
Vertical will be teaching this course. He is a
qualified Safe Flight School instructor.
Due to the high level of personal tuition, places
are limited and we will take participants strictly
on a first come first serve basis. We will
require a
£50 deposit per person to confirm your place on the
course. Once dates are confirmed you will need
to call our UK office: +44 (0)113
2505600 to book.

Friends and Family |
|
|
Many skydiving
boogies offer little to family and friends
who have come along.
The
Skydive Spain boogie is different. Just a
short drive of 20
minutes takes you into the heart of Seville
city centre.
Seville is Spain's 4th largest city and even
though it is large, it still has a fantastic
historic atmosphere. Its Cathedral is
thought to be the largest church in the
world and you can climb the 90m steps to the
top of its minaret.
The weather will also be
warm during the boogie in comparison to
other dropzones in Spain which can be colder
than England!.
Take a look
at what's on offer in the surrounding areas
to Skydive Spain.
