Is it expensive?

Skydiving isn’t a cheap sport but is a lot cheaper than most people imagine. While the training can be expensive, once you have your A Licence each jump costs between £15 and £20 for a jump from 12,000-15,000 feet – 50-60 seconds of freefall.

How much will it cost?

There are 3 ways to get into skydiving, which is best for you depends on what you want to get from skydiving and what your budget is.

The University Skydiving Club currently has a great deal from our local dropzone for Static Line courses – one of the most common ways to start your skydiving career. To do a Static Line first jump course costs £150 with the club (usually £180-£200 elsewhere). After your initial training and first jump each subsequent jump will cost £20 (elsewhere around £35).

AFF or Accelerated Freefall courses will cost somewhere in the region of £1000, depending on where you do it, for the eight levels and 10 consolidation jumps. If you want to do AFF it can be a good idea to go to Spain or the USA to do it, as it is cheaper and the weather is usually much better!

A tandem jump will cost you £210 and an extra £90 if you want a freefall camera man to jump with you to record the look on your face!
