Where can I learn to Skydive?
Ask any skydiving instructor about where you should learn to skydive and they'll start talking about the weather, they're not trying to change the subject either!
Whilst it is possible to complete your AFF course in the UK it can become a drawn out process. Weather is an important factor when learning to skydive as consistency and practice greatly improves your progression through the AFF course.
Constant instruction and jumping is much more beneficial than a few weekends here and there interspersed by bad weather which can often happen in good old Blighty.
Alan: Going abroad you're almost guaranteed the weather. If you try in the UK you'll end up doing your AFF course over a number of weeks, if you learn abroad it will be a matter of days. Its proven that if you're continually doing something you learn faster.John: I have run a Drop Zone in the UK and it is soul-destroying to see enthusiastic students, who have paid their money and completed the training, sitting weekend after weekend, waiting for the weather to clear.
Abroad you can easily complete the course in a long weekend, it is the concentrated "time in the air" that counts, not one jump per weekend if you are lucky..
So that said check out the drop zones that Learn to Skydive prefer to take their students. Stunning locations, great people and fantastic nightlife are all part of the deal.
