Skydive Starterspack english

The Skydive Starter Package consists of a standard static-line course, supplemented with an Indoor Skydive Training. During this indoor training, you learn to fall, fly, and steer with your body in a wind tunnel. You will be guided by instructors from both Indoor Skydive Utrecht and Skydive Hilversum, and you will receive a briefing both before and after.

The indoor training consists of ten minutes of ‘tunneling’, as we call it. Ten minutes sounds very short, but keep in mind: a free fall from 6,000 ft takes twenty seconds on average. And then these ten minutes in the tunnel suddenly equal thirty jumps! Now that is what we call a learning curve.

What are the benefits of this indoor training?
Everyone can progress to free fall after the initial static-line course. We teach this to anyone who wants to, with close supervision, jump by jump. However, if you choose the indoor skydive training, you will learn to adopt the correct falling posture and to steer and correct with your body in a controlled environment with instructors by your side. Of course, you learn to fall and steer without the indoor skydiving training, but not as quickly and accurately as with the indoor training! Moreover, it gives you extra confidence, and naturally, extra fun.
