Put yourself at ease jumping with our professional crew from up to 11000 feet, above the scenic Jeffreys bay coastline.

Our instructors have a minimum of 2000 jumps and have a passion for sharing the experience of skydiving with first timers. All that is required is that you are below 100kg, and are reasonably fit. You don’t have to be an adrenaline junkie; our instructors will be able to put you at ease. Just follow the simple instructions and all that is left to do is have fun!

Up to 45 seconds freefall at 200kph, followed by a 5 minute parachute ride. As long as the conditions are good you will have a chance to steer the parachute. You instructor will take over for the landing and you can even land at the beach (if pre arranged).

A once in a life time adventure that is definitely recommended to everyone in all walks of life!

Learn to Skydive

Skydiving is an amazing sport that opens a new dimension to you that you may never thought of before. You will make great friends from all walks of life, and once qualified be able to skydive with your license anywhere in the world! If you are unsure whether skydiving is for you, consider a tandem as an introductory insight into the world of skydiving.

There are two methods of learning to skydive which each have their advantages and disadvantages.

tatic line

Static line is the traditional method of learning to skydive. It is slightly cheaper than AFF but takes significantly longer. It includes more jumps than the AFF course so your canopy skills should be better at the end of course.

Jumps 1-8

A minimum of 8 static line jumps from 3500ft.  Your parachute deployment sequence begins as soon as you have left the aircraft. Jumps 4-8 Include pulling a Dummy Ripcord Pull (DRCP).

Jumps 9-17

If you have been cleared by your instructor your 9th jump may be your first 3 second freefall. Jumps after that are longer in length. Initially you will count in free fall but as the jumps increase in length you will learn how to use an altimeter.

Jumps 18-27

In these jumps you will learn free fall drills such as turns, tracks, back loops and recovery from spins. Your last two jumps will be a conversion from a spring loaded deployment system to a Bottom of Container deployment system (BOC).

AFF (Accelerated Free Fall)

AFF means free fall from the 1st jump from 11 000ft. Having an instructor along side you in free fall gives the instructor opportunity to give you in air coaching to improve your body position, perfecting your position right from the start.

Levels 1-3

2 instructors (one on either side) will assist you with hand signals to improve your body position in free fall and give you kind reminders (Iike to check your altitude!)

Levels 4-7

If your instructors are happy with your progression  jumps 4-7 will only have one instructor along side you. In these jumps you will learn to do turns, tracking and backloops. On level 6 you will also exit unlinked with your instructor.

Levels 8-10

Levels 8-10 are solo jumps if you have been cleared to do so. You will still be supervised in the aircraft by your instructor but you will leave the aircraft solo!

Come and play with us at Jbay. We have freefly coaches, beach jumps and a braai facilities. Camping is for free with showers (sometimes cold!)

We operate Cherokee 6 aircraft which can get you up to a maximum altitude of 11 500ft.

International jumpers

• Experienced foreign visiting jumpers must be fully paid up members of their respective association; proof will be requested.
• Experienced foreign visiting jumpers are only granted visiting status for the first three months of their stay in South Africa, after which they must join the Parachute Association of South Africa (PASA) and qualify as a licenced PASA skydiver.
• All visiting jumpers who are members of foreign associations are permitted to jump at Skydive Jeffreys Bay.

It is highly recommended that any visiting jumpers attain a PASA license if they are intending to stay in South Africa for more than three months to allow them to continue to jump with the same freedom. Also note that foreign association licences are not directly transferable to PASA licenses.  All experienced foreign visiting jumpers must fulfil all the PASA requirements for any particular PASA license, or their equivalent. In other words, a US Parachute Association (USPA) B licence or a British Parachute Association (BPA) B license does not automatically equate to a PASA B licence.
