How is the skydiving course like?
The course to become a skydiver is both theoretical and practical. The theory is constantly given between jumps through manuals and videos that you see with your instructor. At each jump, or practical part, you have to complete the different assignments your instructor gives to you. The good news is that you start jumping from the first day because your first five jumps are with the Dual-Tandem system, in which passenger goes together by a harness to the instructor. Then you perform four jumps with a single parachute assisted in free fall for two or an instructor, according to your performance. Finally you make the jumps without any assistance.
