Skydive Salerno

Amazing place with The best view!!!

I jump in Italy for now 1 year, before that I was in France. Once you exit the aircraft, the view is absolutely blissful. People there are friendly, and since the last review, they have more rental gears for everybody's desires. Also, the pack job price increased a bit, like 5 euros now : 2 euros is a normal inflation since 2003 :) ; while the ticket remained the same 26 euros.
I've had few hard time with language sometimes at the beginning, also the DZO took time to finally understand I'm B license USPA, but now that I can speak Italian, that's fine. I appreciate this guy is more focused on safety than business (as every DZO should be). I definitely recommend this place, for their friendship, professionalism, and their location.

Whilst on a "family" holiday just up the coast in Sorrento, i managed to "slip" away one day to skydive Salerno, the dropzone was easy to find as it is located on the towns airport. there is a spacious hangar with classrooms, bunk-house, toilets showers etc included within the building, all clean and well equipped. there is a bar area for after jumping has concluded, as well as a small pool for skydivers to cool down in during the hot summer months between lifts. pack jobs are a measly 3 euros.
Kit hire is only of basic student type kit, so i found myself jumping a big old pd210 on a non freefly friendly old vector! so if you have more than the occasional jump in mind consider taking your own kit!
The aircraft there in july 2003 was a porter, the website mentions a cessna caravan but i'm not sure why that wasn't there.
The only slight problem i had was with communication, i speak a little pidgin Italian, but very few of the people there spoke any english, i was lucky enough to find a very friendly guy called Vincenzo who spoke very good English but he was often busy so i treid not to impose myself on him, thismeant i made a lot of hand signals, gesticulations, and noises to make myself understoood along with my italian/english phrase book!!
All in all a very friendly, efficient and fun dropzone, highly recommended!
