Increased safety is not the only benefit of the Progressive Skydiving
Program. You are also more likely to successfully complete the course
compared to the older styles of training. Greater levels of learning
occur on your first skydive, which gives you more confidence and higher levels of awareness for the rest of the course. Many of our staff are, or have
been, Australian champions in their field and feel that this form of
training is the safest and in the best interests of the student skydiver.
On completion of the course you will receive an international skydiving
license.
