    I completed my Accelerated Freefall (AFF) course with Big Air Parachutisme. The welcome was fantastic, the instructors were super passionate, and there was a great atmosphere within the club. I highly recommend this skydiving club.

    Excellent, the training and atmosphere are top-notch! I recommend it for Accelerated Freefall (AFF) courses and tandem jumps, etc.

    I had planned to come to Rochefort for a two-week PAC (Professional Achievement Certificate) course. I booked my vacation time, reserved an Airbnb, and rented a car. Unfortunately, the organization was very disappointing. Four days before the start of the course, I was informed that the first week would not be possible due to the weather forecast and would be postponed to the following week. On Saturday, the Monday session was canceled and rescheduled for Wednesday. Then, on Tuesday, the Wednesday session was also canceled and rescheduled for two weeks later. Unable to extend my vacation indefinitely, I explained my situation. The only response I received was very curt: “Send us your bank details, and we’ll refund you.” More than two months later, despite several follow-ups, I still haven’t received my deposit back. A truly frustrating experience, both in terms of organization and communication and follow-up.

    For my 70th birthday, I was given a parachute jump over the Charente with my son and it was an unforgettable gift. After passing the stress of the rocker from the aircraft door in the vacuum, I felt...
