Bad culture from the top down, avoid, unless you are a tandem jumper
彼得利跳伞中心的点评
点评：I decided to take a new direction in life and enrol on an AFF course at Sky-high Skydiving in Peterlee, County Durham, as this was my most local drop zone being based in Newcastle. What a mistake I made.
If you jump as a tandem skydiver, they are completely different to if you are someone who wishes to learn, because they make more money off tandem skydivers than those who do AFF courses. Tandems, I have seen with my own eyes, are laughed with, welcomed, fun is shared and the day is a beautiful one. If you wish to learn, you are treated like dirt from day one, Ground School.
The learning they give you is incredible. They are very good coaches, but as people they do not live up to those expectations. You have your Ground School day, pass a quick exam, then it's up to the weather. I went in August 2026, luckily my first time was good weather, but many others had waited days or weeks due to clouds, winds, or the fact the place is barely open.
You are lucky as AFF if you have them open on weekends, let alone during the week, they close for any reason.
The coaches were quite military, but I didn't mind that as we are entering a dangerous sport. Sometimes it was tense, but you must make split second decisions in the air and I respected that. However, they are not welcoming at all. Since August, I have tried to speak to seasoned professionals, those with A, B, C, D licences and they are very cold to you. They tell you to speak to AFF coaches if you ask any questions, but the AFF coaches have no time as they are thrown in the air every jump to make money from tandems. If you stop an AFF coach for a question, you're told to wait and then they forget to come back to you.
The Chief instructor is not a welcoming person at all. I have seen him on two occasions shouting, swearing and screaming at his staff and students, which even if they need telling off, is rude and unprofessional. Has this man ever had someone stand up to him, to lead by example and show what a welcoming, inclusive environment should look like? He was truly awful and so I never interacted with him out of choice
The skydiving world is not a nice, warm one. If you want to jump solo and enjoy it yourself, then endure the AFF levels and pass quickly, learn what you need and get your A-Licence. It really can be done quickly. I have decided to never return to Sky-High Skydiving as the culture is abysmal, led by the dreadful chief instructor, who is responsible for leading behaviour and culture and fails within a moment of witnessing him.
It is a clique, the skydiving world, and there are no open spaces. My fellow new AFF students led by example themselves, with one of them creating a social media community for the new students to chat and discuss their AFF journeys, as when you are added to social media communities for Sky-High, you are told never to speak to them about this, that, or personally. Only use this to book your next jumps, but they will soon message you to say you owe money! If you are in the clique, your face will fit the clique, but they are just recreating a schoolground system where everyone just laughs at the others because they are not as experienced, or asking stupid questions. When you learn something new, you should ask all questions, stupid or not.
I regret joining Sky-high skydiving for my AFF journey, not skydiving itself. I am now much happier at a farther, but more welcoming, no-clique led, inclusive cultured drop zone, who treat people as friends, not hindrances or to be gossiped at like at Sky-High.
Very sad.

翻译：我决定改变人生方向，决定报名参加位于达勒姆郡彼得利的Sky-high跳伞俱乐部举办的AFF课程，因为那里是我住在纽卡斯尔时最近的跳伞地点。我犯了一个大错。
如果你是作为双人跳伞的乘客跳伞，那么这种体验与想要学习跳伞的人完全不同，因为跳伞俱乐部从双人跳伞者身上赚的钱比从参加AFF课程的人身上赚得多。我亲眼见过，双人跳伞者会受到大家欢笑和欢迎。乐趣是可以共享的，这一天也是美好的一天。不过如果你想学习的话，从第一天起就会被冷落忽视——这就是“地面学校”的待遇。
他们传授的知识确实令人惊叹。他们是非常出色的教练，但作为普通人来说却达不到人们的期望。你在“地面学校”上一天课，通过一个简单的考试后，接下来就全看天气了。我是在2026年8月去的，幸运的是那天天气不错；不过很多人因为云层、强风，或是该训练基地开放时间有限而不得不等待数天甚至数周。如果这些场所周末还开放，那你就很幸运了——更别提工作日了，它们往往会因各种原因关闭。
教练们作风相当军事化，但我并不介意，毕竟我们从事的是一项危险的运动。有时候气氛很紧张，但在空中必须瞬间做出决策，对此我很敬服。不过，他们一点都不热情好客。自8月以来，我试图与那些拥有A、B、C、D级执照的经验丰富的专业人士交谈，可他们对我极为冷淡。如果你有任何疑问，他们会让你去询问AFF教练，但这些教练根本没时间理你——因为每次跳伞时他们都得被“抛向空中”，以便通过双人跳伞来赚钱。如果你拦住AFF教练询问问题，他们会让你等着，随后就彻底把你忘在一边了。
首席教练也完全不是个友善的人。我见过他两次对工作人员和学员大吼大叫、破口骂人，即便这些人确实需要训斥，这样的做法也实在粗鲁且不专业。有没有人曾经勇敢地站出来对抗他，以身作则来展示一个包容、友好的环境应当是什么样子呢？他真的很糟糕，所以我出于自愿才没有与他有任何接触。
跳伞圈可不是一个友善、温暖的圈子。如果你想独自跳伞并享受这个过程，那就忍着完成各个AFF培训阶段，尽快通过考核，学到所需知识后拿到A级执照。其实这完全可以快速实现。鉴于那里的氛围糟糕透顶，我决定再也不去Sky-High跳伞俱乐部了。由那位可怕的首席教练带队，他负责引导团队的行为与文化，但只要一看到他，大家就立刻变得束手无策。
跳伞圈就是一个小圈子，没有任何可以自由出入的空间。我那些同样刚成为AFF学员的同伴们也以身作则：其中一人还创建了一个社交媒体社群，供新学员们交流并分享各自的AFF学习经历。不过，当你被加入Sky-High的社交群组后，却被告知绝对不能和群里的人谈论这个、那个……或者亲自去。这个渠道仅用于预约后续的跳伞活动，但他们很快就会发消息告诉你还欠着钱！如果你属于某个小圈子，你的样貌也会符合该圈子的标准；不过他们不过是在重现校园里的那种氛围——大家因为别人经验不足或问了愚蠢的问题而嘲笑对方。其实当你学到新东西时，无论问题多么“愚蠢”，都应该大胆提问。
我后悔选择Sky-high跳伞俱乐部来完成我的AFF训练课程，并不是后悔跳伞这件事本身。如今，我在一个距离稍远但氛围更友善、没有小圈子现象且包容多元文化的“聚集地”里生活，那里的人们把我当作朋友，而不是像在Sky-High那样把我视为绊脚石或闲聊的话题。
真是令人难过啊。
