About Skydiving in Palma

Palma, Spain offers an excellent environment for learning skydiving. With 25 dropzones available, students and licensed jumpers alike have access to comprehensive training programs and diverse jumping opportunities.

Geographically, Palma is situated in the Southeast region of the northern hemisphere. The area's coastal and urban characteristics provide varied conditions suitable for different skill levels. The tropical climate pattern typically allows for consistent jumping seasons, which is beneficial for students working through progression programs.

Understanding Your Options

Let's break down what's available. Tandem jumps are the standard introduction—you're attached to a certified instructor who handles all technical aspects while you experience freefall. AFF (Accelerated Freefall) is the most common solo certification path, involving 7-8 levels of instruction. Coach jumps help licensed jumpers develop specific skills. Refresher courses are available if you've been away from the sport.

Training Considerations

When choosing a dropzone in Palma, consider these factors: instructor-to-student ratios, fleet type (larger aircraft mean faster turnarounds), on-site gear rental options, and whether they offer specialized courses (wingsuit, freefly, canopy piloting). Weather patterns in the northern hemisphere mean certain times of year offer more stable conditions—research or ask about the optimal training season.

The Skydiving Scene

The training environment in Palma is structured to support skill development. Dropzones maintain dedicated classroom spaces for ground school, where students learn the theory behind equipment, aerodynamics, emergency procedures, and canopy flight. Many facilities have mock aircraft setups for practicing exit procedures.

Instructors here typically hold ratings from national governing bodies and maintain current certifications. They follow established curricula for AFF and other courses. Video debriefs are standard practice—each jump is recorded and reviewed to identify areas for improvement. Equipment used for training is specifically configured for student needs, with larger, more stable canopies and AADs (Automatic Activation Devices) as standard. Progressing through your license here means learning from structured programs with clear milestones.
