Ok so lets take this on a slightly different track. Tunnel time V coached jump. my feelings say use the tunnel to perfect the skill somewhat, then get a coached jump to sign off the card. I would like to do 10 minutes per day in the tunnel, along with 1 coached to 1 no coached jump. Do you think that may be a better use of resources?

Thanks Sam I will be with a BPA Affi, and yes I will be working towards my FS1. But coaching for every dive. Yes or No in your opinion. As to speaking to the instructor. It's in his financial best interest to sell me coaching, so an unbiased opinion is what I am looking for. Cheers Lee

Hi Thanks for your advice. I am a bit confused. theres some conflicting info in your post. well probably not but I could be reading it in the wrong context.. I am looking at coaching during the consols and further into progression for FS1. I don't want to blow all my money if I don't need to be coached for every dive. I know it's easier to train stuff wrong if your not being watched and corrected, but can I really go that far wrong on say 2 uncoached dives.

Hi I am a new jumper, did aff1 last year, but I am off to Elsinore next week to do my "A". So I have a question related to being off student status. I understand the value in coaching, but should I get coaching for every jump, or have 1 coached jump, and then say 2 solo jumps to work on the skill then get another coached jump to check progress. Once on solo jumps, (the course is paid for up front, for my 8 levels) I have the money put aside for about 30 coached jumps or over 50 solos. So I am looking to get the most out of my time and also available funds. Any thoughts please. Cheers Lee
