EP Skydivers, Grahamstown, teaches the most static line students in South Africa than any other club. Our reputation speaks for itself. To do a Static Line Jump you must be at least 18 years old (16 with parental consent).

Students who choose this option will need to complete ground-school training, which is basically a 6 hours long theory course, 3 hours on the Friday night and another 3 on the Saturday morning. This is followed by the practical evaluation.

The training continues with hands-on practical exercises in the classroom, in the training harnesses and in the aircraft.

We then take you up to 3,500 feet, where the the jumpmaster will dispatch you from the aircraft. As you leave the aircraft, the static line (which is attached to a strong point in the plane) automatically opens the parachute.

ACCELERATED FREE FALL (AFF)

The Accelerated Freefall (AFF) program is designed with the serious skydiving student in mind. It costs a bit more than the static line option, but is well worth it if you know that skydiving is the sport for you.
