AFF Packages
Students participating in an AFF course can either pay per jump as they go or purchase a course package. Skydive Ramblers offers several packages at different price points, all of which offer a discount off of the per jump price. Below you will find a summary of the different AFF course packages on offer at Skydive Ramblers.
If you commit to a package, we commit back to you at least 3 jumps a day, even if you are the only student. However, packages do not have to be done in a set time. The days indicated are the minimum number of days it will take you to complete the jumps in the package.
Skydiving is a weather dependent sport, please allow extra days if possible

As an experienced skydiver, I took my whole family to Ramblers to introduce each of them to a tandem jump. Ramblers is an awesome experience for tandems and for fun jumpers.
