LEARN TO SKYDIVE

A Smarter Way to Learn

With over 30 years of experience training new skydivers, Skydive Extreme Calgary has developed a progressive student program designed to help you become a safe, confident and independent skydiver.

Our unique training approach combines two proven learning methods. Rather than rushing into extended freefall, you'll first build the skills that matter most—canopy control, decision-making, and safe landings. Once you've developed a strong foundation, you'll transition into longer freefall jumps where you'll learn the body flight skills needed to complete your training.

It's a step-by-step approach that builds confidence with every jump.

Your First Jump

Your journey begins with a full day of ground school led by our experienced CSPA-certified instructors. You'll learn everything you need for your first solo skydive, including:

• Skydiving equipment
• Aircraft procedures
• Emergency procedures
• Canopy control and navigation
• Landing techniques
• Freefall fundamentals

After training, you'll make your first solo skydive with instructor support and radio guidance throughout your canopy flight.

Progress at Your Own Pace

During the first phase of the program, you'll develop strong canopy flying skills while becoming comfortable with aircraft exits and parachute openings and flights. As your confidence grows, you'll transition into longer freefall jumps, learning body control, stability, movement and independent parachute deployment.

Every jump builds on the last, with personalized coaching and clear objectives to help you progress safely and confidently.

Earn Your CSPA SOLO Certificate

After successfully completing all 13 levels, you'll earn your Canadian Sport Parachuting Association (CSPA) SOLO Certificate—the first major milestone in your skydiving journey.

Whether your goal is to become a licensed sport skydiver or simply experience the thrill of learning to fly, our team is committed to providing expert instruction in a safe, supportive and fun environment.

Start your skydiving journey with a team backed by more than 50 years of instructional experience.

Your Journey Doesn't End with Your SOLO Certificate

Earning your CSPA SOLO Certificate is a major milestone—but it's only the beginning of your skydiving journey.

Your next goal is the CSPA A Certificate of Proficiency, where you'll continue building the skills and confidence to become a safe, independent sport skydiver. Through a combination of coached and solo jumps, you'll refine your freefall skills, improve canopy control and gain the experience needed to progress in the sport.

Every student develops at their own pace, so the number of jumps required may vary. Our focus is on helping you become a knowledgeable, capable skydiver who is confident in the air and under canopy.

At Skydive Extreme Calgary, we don't just teach people to skydive—we welcome them into a community of passionate skydivers who support each other, share unforgettable experiences and keep coming back for more!
