Christmas on the Beach - Skydive Algarve ( Portugal )

School Announcements


Still not decided where to go for your Christmas Skydiving holidays ? Once again we will make our way to the Skydive  Algarve boogie from the 20th of December to the Middle of April of next year . The Portimao new years party is not one to be missed. Before you ask Students may not land on the beach and are resticted to 15000ft : ) You must have 100 jumps to be considered for a slot on these speciality loads , the DZ is very safety aware. 

Otherwise people with less than one hundred jumps are most welcome to come along and enjoy all the algarve has to offer from 15,000 feet.

Otherwise feel free to take advantage of the mix of warmest winter temps, great location and superb manifest operation. There are over 100 people from the UK alone now registered for this event!

The landing area has been totally revamped and has been sown with grass and is watered daily. OF note are the temperatures and better weather conditions that this location offers in Winter.  Leaving Madrid for the winter has been a tough decision , we love our location , the people but the weather is too cold given we have such a better option now.  Skydive Madrid will close Midweek due to this shift and we thank them for their understanding. They too will soon have a surprise of their own to tell you :)


COSTS  UPDATED ( New package added )
The cost for a car and apartment for one week is 292 euros. The Car will take four people and the apartment also four. This means that if your in a group of four you can have transport and accomodation for as little as 73 euros for one week. Tickets are between 24 and 26 euros to 15K.  Great deal we reckon , these costs are fixed ( gauranteed ) but for the best flights best to book soon. Get in touch ASAP to express your interest.

45 Loads in one day

School Announcements

We said goodbye to ” Charlie Papa ” our third porter which was a -20 Turbine as it doesnt fit with the philosophy of the dropzone due to its speed . We are pleased to support Skydive Lillo leasing it to them. This means we are reduced to 2 full time Porters  but no worries …  Today we flew 45 full loads in our 34 s  and the average climb rate to 13000feet was 2000 fpm  ( no bull ! ) , its a rocketship and by far the fastest in Spain.  Perhaps this is because its not limited in anyway in power . In any event the freefly event is going along great with a ton of Spanish and UK skydivers taking advantage of our load organising and coaching.  All our AFF students graduated and our returning guests from recent AFF courses got in the fun jumps also.  It was really nice to see the 2 aircraft work so well together , thanks to Aimee´s hard  but very efficent work in the manifest.  We didnt notice that the dropzone did 50 tandems today also as there were virtually no wait times.

The coming days will see more freefly training camp days and also 15 people take part in our AFF Instructors programme from the “  Instructors Academy ” . During the next 2 weeks our delegates will be go through the USPA coach and AFF instructors programme .  Our philosophy in these courses is simple , to ensure top quality instruction for qualified candidates and  to ensure the costs are appropriate, we dont agree with the price inflation that has seen people pay in excess of 1000 euros for a ” few ” skydives.   We will have regular AFF Academy weeks in both Madrid and …. due to recruiting an AFF course director to the team. Wanne be an AFF instructor but scared of the cost ? Give us a call..
