I guess the first skydiving milestone would be the 1st Jump whether on an AFF course or a Static line jump it is the most exciting, terrifying but amazing experience, once completed there are plenty more “milestones” along the way (although every jump from the first to the 10,000 th and beyond are precious memories)

The first freefall for a static line student is certainly a huge step as is category 8 for both S/L and AFF students. For AFF the need for an instructor in free fall is no longer required. For S/L a pre jump instructional brief is no longer necessary and the students can work towards ‘A’ license. (yep! another milestone) once achieved the student can move towards formation skydiving 1 (FS1) and freedom to choose what they do in freefall.

On the same weekend Phil did his 100th jump which is also a milestone as is 200, 500, 1000th and then every 1000 onwards towards the big 10,000, which to be honest is a fairly rare occurrence.

So we hope you have many memorable skydives whether it’s a Tandem, your level 1 AFF or a R.A.P.S S/L descent
have fun and be safe
