Vman 0 #8 May 18, 2003 Hi Harlo I just moved from Singapore last year and strongly recommend learning from S&TA Danniel Lee he does his own thing and will take good care of you.Stay away from Skydive Adventures and Thomas Mathews club. I have seen to many accidents with them. Daniel Lee is a true skydiver and was with me all the way when I crashed in Lido Indonesia. He is what the sport is all about and has more heart and passion for the sport than you could imagine.Contact him ASAP for anything from equipment to advise. Many of the DZ's in Southern California know him he is the real focal point for the sport in South East Asia. Good luck and heads up in contacting this crown at DZ.com they are the finest the sport has to offer and will guide you through the adventure that awaits you.Enjoy Harlo and say hello to the gang in Singapore from Steve Austin aka Vman WHEN IN DOUBT WHIP IT OUT Vman Quote Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BleuSky 0 #9 May 19, 2003 Hi Vman, Thanx for the advice. Glad to know that there are more than one "company" providing skydiving training and advice in singapore. To be frank, I've not done any jumps before but i i'm really very keen to pick up this sport. Stay away from Skydive Adventures and Thomas Mathews club. Er.... izit bad or good news? i've already signed up with them for my AFF course!!!! Oppz... I have seen to many accidents with them. Tho i understand that accidents are common in sports, but i will still hope that none or at least less serious ones shud happen to me or my frens! U have skydive with them before? does are the accidents u mentioned fatal or very serious??? S&TA Danniel Lee Prolly u could kindly email me their contacts?? thanx! I've got frens who are still keen but are pretty "scared", i could pass them the contact to let them check out more from this Danniel Lee whom u recommended?? Many Thanx again! P/S: it's really good to know that there are more and more ppl loving skydiving, eventhough u guys may not be singaporeans........ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
