Hi Peke, forgot to mention that the cover costs either £35 or £42 depending on your age(under/over 35) That covers me for the week, unfortunately they couldn't offer an annual policy but as this is my first outing I wasn't too bothered. Its important to state that skydiving is the main reason for your holiday that way you will be covered for multiple jumps, as some policies only cover for 2. Best of luck, blue skies!

Hi Peke, I am in a similar situation toy you as I'm heading to Ocana outside Madrid next month to (hopefully!) complete my AFF. On the point of insurance I used STA which was recommended by fellow sky divers as already stated you need to be VERY careful as i had previously bought a policy which I thought covered me but didnt (parachuting vs Sky diving) I would recommend that who every you use speak to a sales agent not just using the online quotation system and ask very specific questions. Best of luck with the course!

This is based on an actual radio conversation between a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier (U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln) and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995. (The radio conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on 10/10/95 authorized by the Freedom of Information Act.) Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid collision. Americans: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision. Canadians: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision. Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course. Canadians: No, I say again, you divert YOUR course. Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH--I SAY AGAIN, THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH--OR COUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP. Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

Hi Ken, sorry been tied up all week only getting back on the forum now. Having an issue with my FB address to if you could email me a link that would be great. You'll get me on [email protected] I live in Ireland so any post Ocana jumps would probably be here. Cheers

I am new to skydiving but an old hand at juicing! The Phillips wide chute juicers are great I've had one for 7 yrs. Check out juicemaster.com for great recipes. Its a fantastic way to improve your overall health, both physically and mentally. Now all I have to do is complete my AFF course and I can talk a little about skydiving :-)

Thanks for the info Ken, could find much on Facebook, could you post a link? Cheers Ken

Hi all, I am heading to Freefall University in May with a couple of buddies to take our AFF course. Have been talking about it long enough so its time to bite the bullet! Any comments, information or anything of use would be much appreciated.. Thanks in advance Ken
