PNW Skydiving has announced the continuation of its Accelerated Freefall (AFF) course for individuals wishing to learn to skydive in Portland. This comprehensive training program, running from April 1st through the end of September, offers participants the chance to become independent skydivers through a structured seven-level course.
Located at the Mulino State Airport, just 30 minutes from Portland, Pacific Northwest Skydiving Center provides a wide range of skydiving services. These range from tandem skydiving for first-time jumpers to options for licensed skydivers. The center also hosts events where skydiving enthusiasts can share their passion for the sport. PNW Skydiving is dedicated to safety and customer satisfaction, a commitment shown by their membership in the United States Parachute Association.
The AFF program is specifically designed for those wanting to learn how to skydive independently. It includes ground training and several jumps with experienced instructors. The course, divided into seven levels, starts with three levels that involve two instructors assisting the student during the freefall portion of each jump. The remaining four levels teach crucial skills such as turns, flips, forward movement, recovery from instability, and essential parachute techniques.
Natalie Thorp, a representative for the company, shared her confidence in the AFF course's structured approach. "The Accelerated Freefall program is a fantastic way for individuals to build their skydiving skills in a safe, supportive environment. Our instructors' expertise and commitment make all the difference," said Thorp.

They also offer gift certificates, allowing people to give the unforgettable experience of skydiving to friends and loved ones.

One such review comes from a satisfied customer, Monse Feria, who described their experience as the "coolest ever," highlighting the staff's professionalism and the memorable skydiving adventure.
