AFP, Advanced Freefall Progression evolved from the United States Parachute Associations
Tandem Progression Method. AFP is by far the most comfortable and safest method of Skydiving
instruction to date, bar none! AFP takes the new student, from a non-skydiver, to being able
to jumpmaster themselves in 10 levels, consisting of, Three Tandems, and 7 AFP jumps with one
jumpmaster. You will then be able to complete you're A-License requirements,
(minimum 20 freefalls), with the assistance of a USPA rated Coach.
We REQUIRE reservations for dive flows and AFP jumps.
Try to arrive as prepared for returning jumps as you did
for your first, wear appropriate clothing, no boots or shoes
with hooks, bring your logbook, and don't forget to eat!
