9.00 AM – 5.00 PM: AFF Training
The Airwareness course begins where every great adventure starts: on the ground. In just one day, you’ll master the basic principles needed to take to the skies with confidence. You’ll learn how to stay stable during freefall, read your altimeter, and open your parachute at the perfect moment. But that’s not all! We’ll also cover essential safety procedures, controlling your parachute, and executing a smooth landing. Ready to take the leap? Let’s go!
First Skydive
The training is complete, and you’re fully prepared. Now it’s time to make it real: your first skydive! Accompanied by two experienced instructors, you’ll ascend to an exhilarating height of 4200 meters. During the approximately one-minute freefall, you’ll experience ultimate freedom. Once your parachute is open, we’ll guide you via radio to a safe landing. Congratulations – you’ve made your very first jump! Time to celebrate!
Second Skydive
After discussing your first jump with your instructor and reviewing the video footage, you’ll be ready for your next leap. The second skydive follows the same program as the first, making it a great opportunity to build confidence and feel more at ease in the air. Any points of improvement will be addressed to ensure a smoother, more enjoyable experience.
Third Skydive
With your second jump complete, your awareness begins to expand – a sign of progress! On your third jump, you’ll perform more exercises that enhance your control and boost your enjoyment. Under your instructor’s guidance, you’ll practice 360-degree turns, known in skydiving as “heading control.”
Fourth Skydive
This is a jump many instructors eagerly anticipate: the fourth skydive. For many students, this is the most memorable jump of the entire course. After exiting the plane, you’ll execute three forward somersaults before performing 360-degree turns to the left and right. How amazing is that? You’ll start to feel like a true skydiver.
Fifth Skydive
The fun keeps building as you progress! During this jump, you’ll learn new skills such as flying on your back and performing front and back somersaults in freefall. You’ll also practice tracking – flying forward quickly like a rocket through the sky.
Sixth Skydive
The final exam jump! On your sixth skydive, you’ll showcase everything you’ve learned so far. You’ll be amazed by how much you’ve accomplished in just a few days. And you’ll discover why skydiving is the most exhilarating sport on earth. Pass this jump, and you’re ready to solo! Congratulations, skydiver!

Once you’ve completed the AFF course, you’ll learn to skydive with others in formation. Over five jumps, you’ll develop the skills to create freefall formations with your Airboss instructor, preparing you for even greater challenges in the air.

These five jumps are all about mastering your parachute. You’ll refine your canopy control skills, ensuring you’re confident and precise in various conditions. Better landings, more confidence!
Hop and Pop
This jump, from 1200 meters, lets you experience the sensation of jumping from a lower altitude. After exiting the plane, you’ll wait a few seconds before opening your parachute. It’s a crucial step in becoming a versatile skydiver.

Now it’s time to enjoy the freedom of the skies. With nine solo jumps, you can explore and experiment on your own, or team up with other skydivers for a formation skydive. The sky is yours!

Reviews
Parachutespringen/skydiven is voor mij de grootste sprong in mijn leven geweest. Sjon en zijn instructeurs zijn de beste in de wereld om je dit rustig en veilig, vol vertrouwenen met veel plezier te leren! En als je het dan onder de knie hebt is het adembenemend leuk. Met een grote glimlach denk ik nu terug aan mijn 43 sprongen in Mimizan, en volgend jaar ben ik er zeker weer bij.
Onwijs gaaf! Iedereen zou dit moeten doen! Super aardige mensen en onwijze relaxte sfeer op de dropzone. Sjon en Rod bedankt voor deze onvergetelijke ervaring!
Insane! Iedereen moet dit gewoon doen. Meer living in the moment is er niet. En waarom alleen een tandem doen als je in een week je hele opleiding kan doen! Goede sfeer, lekker weer en geweldige mensen. Ik heb alweer zin in volgend jaar zomer! Tot dan!
Het was helemaal geweldig. Ik heb in 2 weken 41 sprongen gemaakt. Met behulp van de goede training van Sjon en co kun je binnen no time veilig springen inclusief je eigen parachute vouwen. Je kunt vanaf de zevende sprong al solo springen :D Echt een aanrader als je hier een toffe hobby van wil maken.
Genoten van Mimizan waarin ik in 2 weken mijn A-Brevet heb gehaald. Sjon en Rod maken elke sprong uniek en dragen hun kennis geduldig over.
Het oog voor veiligheid en elkaar checken wordt scherp in de gaten gehouden. Desondanks is er tussen alle serieuze leermomenten genoeg ruimte voor een dolletje, een koel drankje of een lekker broodje. Na 2 weken maak je deel uit van de Airboss familie én ben je in het bezit van je A-brevet. Ik heb de opleiding samen met een vakantie gepland waardoor het extra genieten was. De dropzone is klein maar ontzettend gezellig.. Je voelt je er gelijk thuis, ook de aanhang was van harte welkom. We hebben genoten en we komen zeker terug om extra sprongen te gaan maken volgend jaar! Twijfel je? Niet doen.. het is elke cent dubbel en dwars waard!
de titel ‘from zero to hero’ is niet gelogen. Na twee weken heb ik bij Airboss niet enkel mijn AFF- maar ook mijn A-brevet gehaald. Alles gekaderd in een logische, toegankelijke, makkelijk te volgen opleiding. Een opleiding die de perfecte middenweg is tussen twee brevetten halen, en tevens de ontspanning en recreatie van op vakantie bieden.
Fijne instructeurs, fijne dropzone, fijne sfeer voor, tijdens, en na het skydiven, kortom een leuke vakantie tout court.
Mij ga je alvast nog zien op Airboss vakanties, en ik kan iedereen die écht avontuur begeert alleen maar aanraden om hetzelfde te doen!!!
