    This is awesome to see. Im begining to save towards doing my AFF course now. Whats it like finding groups to go out with around the UK? I've looked online but can only see tandem skydives, is it hard to find groups of licensed skydivers in the UK to jump with each week/month?

    • @neilowens8013
      @neilowens8013  Před 6 měsíci +1

      I jump at Skydive Langar, when you do your AFF, you will meet loads of brilliant people, I don’t go down with anyone, but can always find someone to chat to, or jump with. They are all a brilliant bunch, like a second family.

    Obviously pricing differs from different schools,but was just wondering how much it cost per day or jump once you’ve got your level 8 so that you can add more solo jumps to your license?

    • @neilowens8013
      @neilowens8013  Před 9 měsíci

    Did my AFF at Langar in 1992 with Dave Hinkley and Dave Morris. Had to repeat 1 level (number 6 I think) but completed in 9 skydives. Shat myself, not literally, doing my final jump on my own. Great times and great camaraderie back then. Had 4 years of jumping before coming to Asia where sadly there was no skydiving.

    • @neilowens8013
      @neilowens8013  Před 2 lety

      I paid £1800, that was all 8 AFF levels and 10 consol jumps. Costs will go up if you fail a level and have to retake one. This was a package deal at Langer. Not sure about other drop zones. Worth every single penny.

  • @soloadvtravel
    @soloadvtravel Před 10 měsíci

    Well done! Test book. I had a financial question.. Did you save up for the AFF, AND subsequent qualifying jumps and your own gear all at once or you kept paying gear rental? Thanks mate!

      Hi, yes saved for the full course, and luckily passed all levels first time. Then started to build equipment, the instructors at Langar were brilliant in advising what to buy and when. Renting club canopy is a good way to go while saving up. Worth every penny.

      For the first few levels you have a radio (think you can see it on the side of my helmet). Someone on the ground the talks you down. After a few jumps you know what to do. High recommend giving it a go.
