HOW MUCH DOES SKYDIVING COST

Tandem (first jump)

AFF Course (A-License — ~25 jumps)

Annual costs (after A-license)

Equipment (decision at 50–100 jumps)

HOW TO SAVE

• ›A "compact" AFF course (7–10 consecutive days) costs the same but concentrates rhythm, avoiding regressions that require refresher jumps.
• ›Used gear in good shape is perfectly safe if inspected by an ENAC rigger: 40–60% savings vs new.
• ›Prepaid "10 jumps" or "20 jumps" packages from your school discount 10–15% vs list price.
• ›Avoid aggressive wing loading early: smaller canopies cost more, more frequent riggings, and one small-canopy incident burns a year of savings.
• ›Annual > daily membership if you jump 15+ times a year: break-even around 20 annual jumps.
• ›Foreign travel (USA, Spain) during holidays: 20–30% cheaper per jump but travel cost cancels advantage under 15 jumps.
