In oz technically you'll need someone with a packer B to teach you. If you're hiring gear from meeloft ask for a main that has been used more than the others (I know their gear is generally almost brand spanking new, but Koppel is an awesome dude and will do whatever he can to hook you up with something to suit your circumstances) Which dz are you at? Some instructors/packers I know at my dz (picton) will teach novices to pack (after jumping is done for the day) free of charge, or for a beer.

Disregard this, i am an idiot

I know a few people who jump these containers in Australia without issue

Depends where you do it but Australia between $38-$47 AUD ($26.50 USD - $33 USD)

Tandem at 16. Both my parents were skydivers so it was basically a family thing. I was one of those dropzone kids growing up. I didn't do the AFF course until 25 though

1-4 - safire2 210 (0.8) 5-50 - safire2 190 (0.86) 55-105 - pulse 170 (1.1) 105-present pulse 150 (1.2) my dz student rigs were safire2s. I did a couple of jumps on pilot 190/sabre2 190 while deciding which canopy to purchase but ultimately chose to jump a pulse
