Hi guys. I will be taking my "A" License Course soon in Skydive Perris and will be staying for several weeks. I initially planned staying in an Airbnb accommodation to feel like more of a home but I'm considering staying in the bunkhouse to save money, time and make more new friends in the sport while I'm starting in the sport. I also thought I may be spending more time outside than in the accommodation since I plan to have many skydives as I can while in Perris. Regarding privacy issues, it depends on what kind of culture or people I will be sharing the room with. So it will be probably depend if I will enjoy the experience of staying in the bunkhouse more than in Airbnb. Any thoughts or latest experience in staying in the bunkhouse? I read in old reviews it floods there when it rains but I also got to read somewhere they have a new bunkhouse. Any clarification on this? Thank you.

Wow thank you sooo much BIGUN! This is really a big help. Though the reason I got to know Thai Sky Adventures is thru the USPA website. Hehe..

Hi all!

Haha! Thanks for this. Will check it out.

Thanks for the info DSE! I've checked Perris, will check Elsinore next.

Haha! And where is that? Is that the one in your profile -- Kapowsin Air Sports?

You're totally right on that. I was amazed at first how a lot of skydivers have hundreds and thousands of jumps under their belt that is why I was really shocked when I discovered how much expensive the cost of one jump (succeeding jumps) in this part of the world compared to the US. Makes me think sometimes I live in the wrong location. Hehe.. Just kidding.

Wow! I never thought about Dubai. I only know they have attracted talents from different sectors/industries but it never crossed my mind they would attract top talents in skydiving. Would check it out. Thanks for the tip PhreeZone!

Hehe.. Yup, I'd check out on both. Thank NWFlyer!

Australia is also in my list, not only in skydiving but scuba diving as well!

I went there when I had 30 jumps for coaching and enjoyed it a lot. The tunnel is right on site and they have places to stay onsite. Thanks for the info. Yup Skydive Perris looks like a great DZ.

Thanks for the advice davelepka.

Wow, thanks TDog! That was a very nice and good advice. It somehow shed some light on me.

Hi NWFlyer! Thanks really for the reply. I appreciate it.

Thanks for the reply! I will check this out.

Hi all! I'm just a newbie here. So sorry for the newbie question. But I would like to know what skydiving school you guys can recommend? I mean what's the best skydiving school/s in the world? Best in terms of training, facilities and people. Is there a list? I've tried googling it and searching this forum, but I found none. I have tried only 2 skydives before (both static line) and I can say that I love it sooo much and I want to become a good skydiver (first to become an A licensed skydiver --- take AFF, accomplish 25 skydives and meet other requirements). I'm from Asia, and where I am from the existence of a skydiving school with licensed teachers is close to none. I have 4 choices based on my research and I hope someone can shed some light to me. 1) Skydive Source Taupo, New Zealand - since I read that it was named by some as the Skydiving Capital of the World plus it really has excellent views based on the pictures and videos I saw. 2) Skydive Deland - some people recommend Skydive Deland in this forum and I read that they are the Skydiving Training Capital of the World, plus they host this year's Skydive Expo. I also read from their site that Tandem and AFF were both developed in Deland. 3) Skydive the Farm - since I notice a lot of people mention it here plus they are 3rd in the top 20 DZs here in Dropzone (based on user ratings) 4) Start Skydiving - they place 1st in Dropzone's top 20 DZs but I found their prices to be really more expensive compared to the others. What do you think guys? My sincere thanks in advance to those who'll reply.
