I attended my first boogie here, I am a low time A licensed jumper looking to expand my horizons, so I packed up my stuff and headed north over the "line" as the Canadians called it. I did my first three ways and jumps were I was turning points.

I came up solo I was made to feel almost at home, the Canadian jumpers put on a good show, a lot of freefliers at first so it was hard to find any belly fliers at first.

Team Guano was up there, sitting down drinking beer with some famous skydivers was a rare treat for me.

I definitely recommend the crew from West Coast Skyflyerz.

Awesome time.

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

The staff and owners here take great pride in their DZ. Deb & Ian make this a business with a great reputation and a great safety record! I have been fortunate enough to move to the area and this is my new home DZ. There are a great bunch of people with years of experience here. The only thing that is missing is room to pack on the weekends. Otherwise, this is the best DZ I have been to sofar! Thanks Ian & Deb!

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

Awesome place to learn to skydive!!Instructors are "A" class and the dropzone gives off a very cool vibe to newbies. I started instruction at another dropzone but prefer the more thourough program at Pacific...King Air/ 12500'...There is no better way to make your first few jumps!

I've known Ian (DZO) since Pope Valley in the 1970s and Debbie (DZOess) for several years from Christmas at Eloy so I had really high expectations, and they were met.

I will be jumping there pretty often after we move up there. This time around was just a scouting trip for the move.

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

I came, I saw, I jumped!!! I loved the views, and after the first scary moment of not being sure that the target was where I was supposed to be landing, I had great jumps, great views, and made a massive number of new jumping friends. Rigger Rob put a bungee crosstie on my rig, and I had a lot of fun in the air with Kat, who actually took me head down for the pre-second time! What a lot of fun! I am so happy to be a surrogate Canadian and hope that I can visit often! Thanks to Ian and Debbie for providing a safe, excellent place to jump!

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

A beautiful dropzone with many amenities. Showers, tenting area, hotels and restaurants nearby. Multiple Cessnas, a King Air. The view is one of the most spectacular in the world. Mountains to the North, City and Ocean to the West, Mount Baker to the East. No professional load organizing, no on drop zone food, small landing area King Air generally flies weekends and wednesday nights.

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

Once I heard of this place and began jumping here I knew I found my new DZ. It has spacious hangars, nice planes, helpful, friendly staff and many regulars who can really have a great time. I have no problem taking the ferry from the island just to get some good jumping. If you freefly, you're gonna have a hoot. If you prefer RW there are always a few belly fliers around.

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

The owners obviously take pride in their facility, and make it a welcoming, and comfortable place to be. Everyone is very helpful, and saftey is priority NUMBER ONE.The aircraft and equipment is in top condition. If your coming to the Vancouver area, this has to be one of your points of interest to visit. You'll have a view of the Pacific North West that is absolutely incredible!

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

This is one of the most beautiful places to see in free fall. With the Georgia Strait, the north shore mountains, the City below, it can hardly get any better.

Usually there's a good mix of fun jumpers, maybe lately a bit more freefly than RW, but you'll never have trouble to convert someone to do an RW dive with you. People here like to jump with you. The planes are in great shape and the King Air goes up whenever possible. The owner is very supportive to jumpers initiative (there's a swoop club focussing on enhancing canopy skills [not just swooping] with reduced tickets) and professional as can get rigging is in place, too.

If there's good weather and a couple of Tandem reservations, they notify you to get the King Air out whenever possible (if you're on the mailing list!).
Manifest is speedy and knows what's going on.

I was really happy by the way I was treated when I first arrived and by the huge amount of experience that the people in this place love to share.
You guys rock!
