Before you start ASP
Complete three tandem skydives with us first.
Those jumps help you learn how exits, freefall, and canopy flight feel in our aircraft and over our landing area. After three successful tandems, you can talk with our team about enrolling in the Alaska Skydive Program.
What is ASP?
The Alaska Skydive Program is our structured path toward jumping on your own gear and earning your USPA A license.
- Ground school & drills — learn equipment, emergency procedures, and body position before you leave the plane solo.
- Instructor-supported jumps — early levels are done with USPA-rated coaches in the air and on the radio under canopy.
- Skills that stack — each jump adds clear goals: stability, turns, awareness, and safe patterns until you are cleared for more freedom.
- Community — you train alongside staff and fun jumpers who remember their first solos and want you to succeed.
