AFF Training in Texas

Texas hands skydivers a lot of ground and a lot of sky. What sits below the plane changes with the region: the flat, open plains of North Texas, the rivers and rolling terrain of Central Texas, the distant glint of the Gulf Coast to the south. Drop zones lean into that variety, and each one frames a different jump. The state's mostly clear skies help too; outside the deep summer heat and the winter cold fronts, the weather cooperates often enough to keep operations busy.

First-timers have no shortage of options. Tandem jumps run at drop zones within a reasonable drive of Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio, so the sport is rarely far from a major city. The day is built around a first-timer: safety, instruction, and the plain thrill of freefall strapped to an instructor who's done it thousands of times. The gear is modern, the staff certified, and the sheer size of the Texas sky makes the drop feel even bigger than it is.
