Winter Sun
Skydiving Ltd runs Accelerated Free-Fall (AFF) courses, at several locations
throughout Europe and the USA using BPA qualified instructors. Unlike other DZ's
abroad that boast "British" instructors, our staff all hold current, valid BPA
ratings, and work to the same guidelines that we would in the UK. This means
that the qualifications awarded on our courses are British Standard, meaning
less hassle for you when you return. We are also an approved MoD Training
Provider for the Enhanced Learning Credits scheme.
The owner and
chief instructor is Stuart Albon. With 20 years and
over 3000 jumps of skydiving experience, Stuart has worked and
jumped at dropzones all over the world, both as a civilian and
with the British Army. Passionate about skydiving as an
instructor and a competitor, Stuart set up Winter Sun Skydiving
to provide a safe, professional and fun way of introducing people
to our sport.
From this...
"Add a little training, mix in a sizeable dollop of good weather, pour over bags
of enthusiasm, season to taste!"
