Bad luck in Hong Kong. In fact there used to be a DZ there - at Sek Kong in the New Territories. It was, of course before HK reverted back to China.

I made some nice jumps there in 1987. The jumpers were a nice mix of nationalities, although I guess more Brits than others, as it was a British Military establishment. The DZ was BPA affiliated.

One memorable experience was on a ferry load, taking off from HK International to fly to the DZ. A long lineup of 747's taxiing for take off and there we were, a tiny little 182 (open door) in the line. A very visual memory. Can you imagine all the passengers looking down on us - we must have appeared like a little insect compared with all the 74's.

Pity Sek Kong is no longer a DZ.

Ahhhhhh, memories ....

Blue Skies,

resurrecting this thread in the hope that somebody could give me an hint ;)

I'll be moving to Hong Kong at the end of the summer and I am planning to stay there some time ... and as everybody may imagine I don't want to give up on skydiving for so long.

Therefore my question is: what are the real alternatives? skydiving in HK is not yet an option, therefore where do fun jumpers go to skydive? I saw that Thailand is probably one of the best option, with thaiskyadventure being open all week long (almost).

Any other real option ?

Thaaaaanks!

p.s. this is my first post..hi!
