Mazz 0 #1 March 30, 2009 I read the previous thread on them but they seemed a little fishy and only doing tandems. Anybody have any updates on them? Their websites makes it look like you can get certified there as well as make fun jumps.In the Navy, you can't put your hands in your pockets but I was always told not to put my hands in my pockets by people with their hands in their pockets. Kinda funny huh? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Their websites makes it look like you can get certified there as well as make fun jumps. Search youtube for 'skydive camarillo' One example has several tandem jumps on it. Time of FF on the tandems is around 20-25 seconds, so they are exiting lower than what you can get at other DZs in the area. The view does seem to be quite nice. They land off the airport, NE of airport somewhere (Santa Paula area), outside of the Camarillo class D airspace. Started up in the past couple of months. Renting office space from another tenant, Camarillo Airport Service, at the airport. ~50 miles NW of LA, in Ventura county. Listed as a Group member on USPA Domain name associated with Luther Kurtz, as well as capitalcityskydiving.com skydiveharborsprings.com parachutesoverphoenix.com You might want to call the regional directors of those areas to get any information on the particular operations. ..

taylor.freefall 0 #8 March 31, 2009 I spoke to them this week and they said they are open for tandems and also AFF - all levels. I asked them about experienced jumpers and they said no - well they said I could hang around and if there was an empty place I could go up. Reading between the lines I'm guessing they're only doing tandems and AFF because they make more money that way - 200 a tandem as opposed to 25 - they only have a small Cessna. I'm sure if they had a bigger plane with more spaces it might be a different matter. Maybe in the future they'll expand?? Kind of a shame as I had two AFF students lined up, now I'll take them to Perris so we can spend the day together. I really hope they make it open for everyone sooner rather than later, looks like a great place to jump. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ahhhhh, so CA is too far away for someone to take your business with better facilities. got it. competition sucks when you lose, don't it? Some people try to improve when they lose, others... I used to fly out of camarillo and santa paula all the time, would be a very scenic place to skydive, ocean is only about 10 miles west and you can see the channel islands. Sunset would be pretty amazing as well I'm sure, quite a bit of air traffic though. Wonder where they squeeze in between LAX and BUR airline traffic along with all the GA in the area.So there I was...
