Dropzones in S. Korea?
Can't Post
Looks like I might be relocating to S. Korea. I haven't yet started my AFF classes, but before I found out that I'm going to Korea I was planning to start them. I do have a few months before I leave, so I could get my AFF courses done stateside between now and then.
Is the class A license the international standard?
Does anyone have any experience with DZ's near Seoul? I'd imagine the language barrier might be a small issue

Best advice I can give you: Don't start your AFF until you leave S. Korea for good. Forget skydiving (for the moment), start paragliding. Paragliding is MUCH bigger in S.Korea.

I did a couple of jumps there and Thailand isnt too far away (two dropzones). They also jump in Japan. Guam has a tandem factory so no fun jumping there. It was 80,000w to jump in Korea from a Heli @ 9000ft. 3 words; Don't land off. Be licenced, current and own all of your own gear when you get there otherwise it is too expensive to do. A repack is 100,000w. PM and I can give you more info when I am not at work.
