How much does it cost to learn skydiving — and what do you get in return?
The cost of a skydiving course: more than just money
Learning to skydive might sound like something for the elite or thrill-seekers with big budgets.
But what does a skydiving course really cost — and what do you actually get in return?
In this blog, we’ll explain the cost of a skydiving course and why it often delivers much more than you expect.
What does a skydiving course cost?
At Airboss, we offer the Accelerated Freefall (AFF) course starting from around €1395.
This includes theoretical lessons, jump preparation, full equipment rental, personal coaching, and six instructor-assisted jumps.
You’ll be making real freefall jumps from 4000 meters — with everything included.
Why isn’t skydiving cheap?
A large part of the price is determined by the flying itself.
Airplanes consume a lot of fuel and require intensive maintenance.
The equipment you use, such as parachutes, must meet the highest safety standards, with regular inspections and investments.
On top of that, you receive intensive, personal coaching: a week of full attention from certified instructors, on and off the field.
You’re not just “making a jump” — you’re building your independence in the sky.
What’s included in the price?
- 6 jumps with one-on-one coaching in the air
- Theory day with safety instructions, techniques, and mindset training
- Full gear rental: parachute, altimeter, helmet, jumpsuit
- Guidance from certified instructors
- Video analysis of your jumps (in most packages)
- Internationally recognized license after completion
What do you gain from it?
Learning to skydive is much more than just a thrill — it’s a life-changing experience.
You discover new sides of yourself, build real self-confidence, and step far outside your comfort zone.
Many of our participants describe it as a life-altering adventure.
And for some, it’s just the beginning: they go on to earn their A license, join the skydiving community, or return year after year for jump-filled vacations.
Good to know: once you complete your training, skydiving becomes much more affordable.
You’ll only pay for your jumps, gear usage, and pack jobs.
When you eventually invest in your own gear, you’ll pay just for the flight up.
In short: the further you progress, the more accessible the sport becomes.
A vacation week — but different
You’ll train at a unique location like France or Morocco.
Not only will you learn to skydive, but you’ll also spend a week in a relaxed, holiday atmosphere — surrounded by like-minded people, nature, the ocean, good food, and plenty of sunshine.
A week where learning and living come together.
