      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.

    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  Рік тому

      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.

    • @neilowens8013
      @neilowens8013  2 роки тому

      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.
