Mission
The mission of The Skydive Masterclass is to fill in some of the gaps between AFF and all round expert skydiver.
Are you interested in the Coach Masterclass but don’t have the skills yet? Are you interested in the Coach Masterclass but not really planning to start coaching? Are you fresh out of AFF and keen to learn more? Or do you already have hundreds of jumps, been to many camps and are now eager to deepen your knowledge and understanding of the sport? The Skydive Masterclass is for you.
In a week of high intensity practical and theoretical teaching by our experienced coaches, we aim to deliver extremely high value for participants. The goal is for you to boost your progression by directly tapping into the source of decades of experience.
Can I join?
The answer is probably YES YOU CAN.
The Skydive Masterclass is suitable for both beginner and intermediate skydivers. We will have several groups for different skill levels and experience so whether you are an experienced freeflyer or just coming out of AFF, you can join this camp. As long as we have enough participants to form a group that fits with your level, you’re good to go. We will be in contact with you about this throughout the booking process.
The program
The masterclass consists of five days of intensive learning in a group with 4 or 5 of your peers, guided by top-level coaches with loads of experience. We’ll spend a lot of time on the DZ but also some time in a class room. The days are divided in practical learning while skydiving and theoretical lessons in between, covering all kinds of areas of the sport. We aim to do minimum 4 jumps a day.
Details
Some of the topics that we will cover during the week are:
- flying techniques
- formation building
- canopy piloting
- gear knowledge & hacks
- DZ operations
- jumpruns
- break off procedures

Accommodation
The standard package includes a shared 2-person room and three meals a day. When you sign up you have the option to upgrade to a single room. The brand new RH | Silene **** Hotel & Spa is right next to the dropzone so that we don’t have to use our time and energy on shopping, cooking or transport. If you are on a budget, you can choose to book without accommodation and arrange your own place to stay. You will still have breakfast with us at the hotel because that’s when our busy day starts.
Travel
Arrival day is Sunday 23 March. The class starts on Monday morning and we finish on Friday evening at 20:00. The hotel is right next to the dropzone so you don’t need a car in Castellon. Travel by train works very well in Spain. We will invite you to a Signal group chat where you can find people to carpool with. If you choose to fly, Valencia (VLC) is the closest international airport (1h drive). From there you can get a metro/train to Castellon or we can help you find someone to share a taxi (±120€) or rental car with. You can also fly into Barcelona (BCN – 2,5h drive) or Castellon (CDT – 30 min drive) and take a train or rent a car).
Payment
You will be asked to pay a 750€ deposit to secure your slot. The deposit is non-refundable. The remaining amount should be paid latest two weeks before the start of the event.
To reserve your slot you need to agree to our general booking conditions.
