Skydive Source is a dedicated full time professional skydive training outfit based in beautiful Taupo, New Zealand. We operate 7 days per week weather permitting and have some of the most experienced instructors in the World! We utilise fast comfortable turbine aircraft, designed to get you up quick and high! All our equipment is well maintained and of the latest designs. The course follows a tried and trusted format, and is aligned with those offered by most international parachuting organisations. This very conveniently enables our clients to be able to continue skydiving anywhere in the world, and at any stage of their learning progression. Our governing body is the New Zealand Parachute Industry Association (NZPIA) and our training curriculum and instructors are all NZPIA approved. This is important for you because the qualification you receive needs to be transferable and recognised by your home country. All our instructor assisted skydives (levels) have complimentary video- primarily to afford objective and accurate debriefing so as to allow you to learn more effectively- the DVD is yours to keep once the course is complete and makes a great memento!  As an add-on to your AFF course we also offer wind tunnel coaching at Freefall Extreme in Rotorua- this means that it is actually possible to practice and perfect many of the freefall skills in a wind tunnel before you even step out of an aircraft or even during adverse weather conditions through your course! The course starts with ground based practical and theoretical training- ensuring that debutants are thoroughly schooled in all aspects of the basics prior to their first jump experience. This training typically requires a full day, and the first jump is ideally done at the end of the day. Should the prospective skydiver enjoy the experience and wish to engage the full course in learning to become a certified skydiver, another seven instructor assisted skydives are required prior to the big moment of performing the first solo jump!

Our training now departs from basic training, and follows a coaching format- this is a period of leaning to refine the basics as well as learn new skills, master parachute landings, learn to pack one’s own parachute- and generally accumulate the skills required so that heavy instructor supervision is no longer required. This culminates in achieving of the international “A” certificate in parachuting which once again is a significant moment and achievement! Probably the most satisfying aspect of what we do, is being able to welcome new folks into a family and fold to which they feel a great affinity to! Lifelong friends are made, and a great sense of achievement is experienced on a daily basis! Courses are offered regularly by appointment, and the basic ‘learn to skydive’ instructor assisted jumps are conveniently broken down into modules- meaning that clients only pay for one jump at a time as their budget allows.     We operate seven days per week weather dependent of course, and peak season is generally the fine summer months from December to April. During this time advance booking is highly recommended to avoid disappointment. Want to know more
