fencks 0 #1 October 11, 2012 hi guys, my name is leo and i am from vienna (austria). im thinking about starting with skydiving for about a year. since ive got some free time now, some money that i saved for that purpose and a great amount of motivation i decided to make my dream come true :D unfortunately its already cold in austria and all skydiving schools are closed. thats where i need some help of you guys! where could i travel to make my aff course? i thought of dubai for example. the dz looks pretty cool and ratings seem to be good too. one con is the price though, its pretty expensive! are there any other (maybe not too far away) spots i could check out? maybe spain or so? blue skies and greetings from vienna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites RickieD 0 #2 October 11, 2012 Use Dropzone's DZ finder. I am in Italy and we have numerous AFF schools, which are open pretty much year round - depending on snowfall. I am in my AFF right now and they told me they jump all year.

They're used to international jumpers too so will be able to offer probably a choice of languages or at least English, which clearly you speak very well. http://www.skydivespain.com/ http://www.skydiveempuriabrava.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites fencks 0 #6 October 12, 2012 thanks man! i just spend the last two days looking for the right dz and i think its going to be skydive spain. email already went out seems to be a good dz. does anyone have some experiences with skydive spain he would like to share?

I can recomend this place@ http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g776188-d1191819-Reviews-Domocenter_Apartamentos_Turisticos-Bormujos_Province_of_Seville_Andalucia.html Cheap, close to the DZ, appartment style rooms with fridge/cooker etc. You'll need a rental car though as the DZ is a short drive away and there aren't any hotels close enough to the DZ to get away without a car.
