In short, it's a shame that Dropzone.com doesnt let you rate a DZ higher than 5 stars. From literally the second of arrival, I was made to feel extremely welcome by the staff from the Freefall University.
The atmosphere at the dropzone is completely relaxed. The instructors and staff there really make you feel at home. You can pick up straight away that all of the staff at FFU really enjoy what they do - this, no doubt, eases any nerves that you may have. Also, the nightlife in and around the area is great! Perfect for a weeks holiday!
The course runs at your pace, not anyone elses. The ground school is well organized and very safety oriented. The landing area is huge and free of hazards. The packing area is also very big. The classroom environment is comfortable to learn in also. You get a full brief with high quality coaching before and after every jump - as well as a DVD of all your jumps of the entire course afterwards.
I have also been very impressed on how they have followed up - some people may express concerns on learning to skydive in Spain as you may have to restart AFF on return back to England. I have found it to be the complete opposite with the Freefall University.
Since I left, they have been in contact with me and local dropzone and have made all the arrangements for me to apply for my 'A' license and start jumping here. Great customer service!!
All I can say is how great a sport skydiving is, and I wouldn't have wanted to learn to do it anywhere other than at FFU.
If you are thinking of doing an AFF course, don't do it anywhere else.
