I jumped 4 fun solos @ Empuria Brava in June. Had exactly the same problem.

They let you jump there before you got your A? I'm in Spain in about 8 weeks' time - I damn better get my A before then but if I don't would sure be nice to know i could still go jump

After passing your AFF you are allowed to do solo jumps. Take your log book along. They might ask you to do a check-out jump with an instructor. (O and the DZO ask me to complete a written safety test)

Gear (jumpsuit, alti ect.) Deposit 185 E (but you get that back) and 35 E per jump including gear hire and packing.

If you get the opportunity don’t waste it...The view is out of this world.

I think judging by her Tongue

she was being sarcastic. There was an interesting thread in the bonfire a while back about jump ticket prices, i think we might be on the more expensive side. Although 35 Euros is totally wild!

Well, I know that we are cheap compared to the UK (isn't everyone?) but that EUR35 is R280 identical to SCT = R160 jump ticket + R100 rig hire + R20 packing fee... although if you take into accoun altitude we're expensive Crazy

I think our AFF prices are quite reasonable though? And there was a thread on rig hire a while ago where we seemed not too bad

oh and... I'm an economist, what do I know from exchange rates Tongue

... we must have looked really cheap in 2001/2002 though!!

Re: [Peej] Greetings from JSC [In reply to]	Can't Post

peej, is that with or without gear rental?
skydive spain has tickets listed at EUR23 (discounts for blocks) but i think that's excl gear

er, skytango, consider your thread officially hijacked! (i think it happened a while ago actually Cool

btw you can try argue, whatever, as long as the first question you ask after you meet me is NOT "so, where's the rand going?"!!!! Crazy

Hi Neil,

Great stuff on your ISP jumps.

I planned to do 1 CAT2 on Saturday but with Tonto under the weather a lot of AFF slots opened up. Manifest twisted my arm into doing 3. Wink

I passed all three so another three should get me to CAT2. Sly
