So you're considering it. If you've ever jumped before, please check out the "members" page on the left. For the vast majority of you who have never put on a parachute, here's your information:
For most people, a tandem ride is the perfect introduction to the sport. You'll be attached to an extremely experienced skydiver, and you'll get to see what freefall is all about! Your ride will begin from about 12,000 feet up, and you'll freefall for about a minute. Then, the tandem master will deploy the parachute, and you'll glide under canopy for about three minutes.
This is the most popular way to experience skydiving for the first time. If you're in for just one jump, this is the recommended method. However, this method does NOT count as a first jump course. For more information on the tandem program, check out the link on the left side.
Static Line
Please note that this is our PREFERRED method of teachingIt is cheaper in price and easier on the student
If you're interested in becoming a licensed, experienced skydiver in the Auburn Skydiving Club, you'll have to complete your license at some point. A static line program is the best and most economical way to learn. You'll jump from an airplane at 3,500 feet above the ground, experiencing a few moments of freefall. Your parachute will deploy for you almost instantaneously, and you'll pilot yourself to landing. A 3 hour course is required before taking on this jump.
For more information on the Static Line Program, check out the link on the left.
Undoubtably the most exciting, and the most expensive, method of learning is the "Accelerated Free Fall" progression. After an intensive 6 hour course, you'll freefall with two instructors (not attached to you) from 12,000 feet. You will then deploy your own parachute at about 5,000 feet. From there, you will pilot the chute to the ground.
This method of learning IS AVAILABLE through our drop zone. For more information, check out the link on the left side of the page.
