A great place to jump, with OJB (the inventor of chute assis) always there to help, give advice and organize loads. Super staff with 100% dedication to skydivers. I only recently discovered Mimizan but since then I returned to Mimizan many times, although I live 150km from there and I have a DZ at my doorstep in my hometown (Royan)! Incredible view over the atlantic coast as you jump and good geography so that it is easy to find your bearings when you have lost it during a jump! They say the dorm will be improved in 2006. That would make it an A++ DZ!

I have started skydiving this year with OJB. My wish is to return to Mimizan as soon as possible... Great team professional and friendly and other jumpers too. New camping and restaurant with new young staff (jumpers) realy cool. Everithing is clean. During jump you can see ocean, lake and montain.

4 of 11 people found the following review helpful: deceptive... Rated by: coc on 2004-01-27 (user profile) (user reviews) Review of: OJB Parachutisme   Pros: you can see the ocean when flying Cons: bad team....

I went there last summer for one week. It was not as good as I thaught.
I found the price for the "bedroom" (11€/night) under a tent expensive, considering that there were just two showers and two WC (dirty...) for somethnig like 50 or 60 persons... no water pressure on the shower, if someone pull the chain you just have to wait with the shampoo in your eyes ! The lunch/dinner are also quiet expensive : 10€ for french-fries, chicken nuggets and a part of tart.
Won't be a problem if the people were as cool as it seems. In fact sharp remarks because you prefer to cook by yourself or if you make a remark about the arrangements.... and every occasion is good to criticize other dropzones.
I wont get back there, prefer to go in dropzones where welcomed people is more important than making money at any price..

since last december, french coasts has been hit by an oil slick from the prestige.
it will not prevent the dropzone to start back in march but it is unlikely that surfing will be as nice as before.
i ll be in touch.

This is the best DZ I went to in France.

The DZ is located 10 km from the ocean, and the nearby
town is pretty crowded in the summertime.
Lots of bars around and a casino

The DZ is pretty cool. The camping site is cheap
(2 euro/night).

Best to go during the summertime since a bigger plane
is rented (a twin otter in 2002).

Having a Twin and a Pilatus allow you not to wait long
between two jumps. You can easily do 10 jumps a day if
you wish to.

Atmosphere is really friendly and the bar prices are
fairly cheap (3 euros for a full breakfeast, 1.5 euros
a beer).

Special parties are held everyday during summer.

Prices this year were: 21 euros/jump for 4200 m
