Opting for Your Accelerated Freefall

Some first time jumpers decide to slice the sky a slightly different way. They take the Accelerated Freefall (AFF) approach.

During your first AFF jump, you are not bound to another person. After taking a short class, you jump along with two master skydivers who ensure your safety while making certain you enjoy the ultimate first jump experience!

AFF is your fast track to learning to skydive. It is a 7-stage program, allowing you to experience freefall on every jump. Our affiliate's equipment, facilities, and instructors make Utah Skydive the school-of-choice for skydiving enthusiasts wishing to make a skydive in Utah.
