flyboy6554 3 #2 April 11, 2006 I've visited the north coast of the DR several times and always stayed in Sosua, small town there on the beach. Never heard of any dz there or anywhere else in the country. I do a lot of scuba diving while I'm there. Most of the country is what we would call impoverished...not sure a dz would have much interest. Good luck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 3 #3 April 11, 2006 The only jumping going on in the DR is at Base Area San Isidro (San Isidro Airbase) just outside Santo Domingo by the special forces guys stationed there. It's been quite some time now, but there used to be a civilian operation (a tandem mill) up on the north coast not far from Puerto Plata. It was run by a German guy who used to do a lot of head-down tandems and was pretty notorious for blowing up drogues. Too bad it closed, it's a really nice place. Winds up north are generally howling though. That's, seriously, the best place in the world to windsurf according to most sources. I made a bunch of jumps down at San Isidro in 1998 during Las Dias de la Independencia and the 50th anniversary of the Fuerza Area. Of course that was on Uncle Sam's dime when I was on active duty.
