| Hello
everyone and greetings from sunny south Spain. I have to say
I am very exited at the next few months as Freefall Addicts
have had an unprecidented interest in their courses.
Whilst
we are busy, we are making every effort to draft in new and
highly experienced instructors from the UK. We will make sure
there is a place for you here and that you have your own personal
skydiving instructor. Check out our modified AFF
section. We have updated this page with some more current
pictures that show the blue and orange brigade in action!
We
hope you have had chance to have a look at our new accommodation
section. We at Freefall Addics believe that all our customers
should have the option of staying with their fellow students.
Our shared apartment offers private rooms with en suite bathrooms
and a very chilled out, relaxed environment for you to enjoy
your down time. If you feel you would like even more privacy
then we have relationships with locals hotels, hostels and
camping facilities. Contact us
for more details.
On
a final note, we believe that this website is a reflection
of our companies ethos, professionalism and commitment to
our customers. As such we welcome everyone to make suggestions
about how we could improve on what we already have.

XL. |

|
|
| |
Some of the instructors from Freefall
Addicts decided to get involved on a big way at the end of
the day |
|
Sunday 12/03/2006
| |
|
|
| |
Another busy start to the day in the packing
hangar. Most 4-way teams choose Skydive Spain as their training
location due to far supior aircraft, a better guarantee of
weather and not forgetting 15000ft on every lift from a 15
seather aircraft that climbs to altitude in only 10 minutes! |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Team Havoc walk through their next skydive.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
We decided to have the afternoon off and
took our students down to the beach. We found a nice bar and
restaurant to chill out in and watch the world go by..... |
|
| |
|
|
| |
From left to right: Matt (FS1 course),

|
| |

water was quite warm too... |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Our location allows us to offer you the
best skydiving holiday there is. We will help you get in as
many jumps as you can, but if you want to go to the beach,
visit the City of Seville
or go for a night out on
tiles, we can make it happen! |

us a line and we will put you in touch with John and Steve

Here is chief packer, Rob, working on
DZ control. This is where he monitors and manages the canopy
traffic to ensure that everyone lands safely. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Seville hosts some of the most fantastic
inland sunsets. There is a steady decline from the dz to the
mountain range of sierra nevada which blocks us from any nasty
sea breezes or fog. This means we can skydive all day long! |

different adventure sports. |
