DOLPHIN™ Student Model Details

REVISED JULY 2006

The DOLPHIN Student Model Combo is one of the most versatile harness/container systems in the industry. Whether your training method starts with static line, AFF, tandem-to-AFF, or IAD; the DOLPHIN Student Model Combo is easily convertible from one configuration to any other without repacking or even lifting the bag out of the main container. Your students can use the same rig as they progress from first jump student all the way to skydiver, and correct conversion is made easy by a special color-coded system which is described in detail in the Dolphin Student Model Owner's Manual.

Unless otherwise specified, each DOLPHIN Student Model is equipped with adjustable main lift web and extendable Iegpads, which will accommodate body sizes from Small to XX-Large. The CYPRES installation kit is standard at no extra charge, and is also compatible with several other similar Automatic Activation Devices (AAD's).

For the past few years, Altico has received reports from a number of student training centers that have done away with the main ripcord and spring-loaded main pilot chute, eliminating one of the transitions in the process of "Student" becoming "Skydiver." Students who progress directly to hand deployed throwout pilot chute from either AFF or Static Line, do not have to learn and then unlearn ripcord deployment in order to make the equipment compatible with this type of training, Altico offers the AMBIDEX, which is a BOC pouch which can be deployed by the jumper, or by either the right or left AFF jumpmaster. (See Altico's web page on the AMBIDEX.)

Another great problem solver offered by Altico for student systems is the "Universal." This is a system which can be used by jumpers who have been trained on an S.O.S, or on a Dual-Action system, and it requires no change in configuration from one to the other. This is particularly helpful to drop zone operators who may want to accommodate jumpers from different training centers without having to retrain them or reconfigure their rental gear. (See Altico's web page on the UNIVERSAL.)
