  1. Freefall University is THE place to do your AFF. The price works out the same as doing the course in the UK, but you get good weather, and accomodation is included. The instructors are good, and Dave is really helpful. He will arrange every part of your holiday, and also offer advice after you've completed your AFF course. I did my AFF at FFU just over a month ago, and I'm going back in a weeks time. It's pretty difficult to fault them, and if you read the reviews at www.freefalluniversity.co.uk then you'll get a good idea of what a great time you can have!
  2. I went to Chatteris with a friend. I’m a student skydiver with 56 jumps, the friend I was with is planning on doing his AFF course. The intention was that I'd do whatever was necessary to get my A license and my friend would book his AFF course. I felt as though I was seen as a nuisance for doing my AFF course in Spain and then wanting to jump in the UK, and the CCI was downright rude to the guy I was with. He was with me and an instructor watching a training video (which the instructor had no problem with) and was told by the CCI he should learn to read, as non jumpers aren't allowed in the area. My advice to anybody considering going to this dropzone is to go elsewhere (I’m now trying to find another dropzone, where they treat their customers with a little respect!).
