November 26th-27th Course Weekend
Sat 26 Nov 2022 07:00 - Sun 27 Nov 2022 18:00
Skydive Strathallan
This is a SOLO course, not a one-off tandem jump. This is your chance to learn how to skydive all by yourself, progressing gradually until you can zoom around at 15,000ft, feeling and looking awesome.
The course type is called Category System, sometimes known as 'Static Line'. This is a static-line system that allows you to get jumping by yourself straight away, your parachute deployed automatically until you are ready to run the whole show.
The ground training takes a day to complete, and we spend the whole weekend at the dropzone together to squeeze in as many jumps as we can. We leave Edinburgh on Saturday morning with a full day of training ahead. Weather dependant, you'll then be jumping out of a plane from 3500ft that evening or on Sunday!

After your first jump, you're able to progress through the stages of the Category System and become a qualified skydiver in as few as 20 jumps. You won't be pushed to progress any faster than you are comfortable with, but we find our members become quickly addicted to the adrenaline!
You'll need is basic overnight items such as a sleeping bag, warm clothes, and food for 2 days. A full itinerary will be provided via email for those who get a ticket, with accommodation and transport included in the price. Tickets are live from 7PM on Friday 16th September via our EUSU page (see events).
