DSE, it is not so much that Pacific Skydiving is lax; it is really an economic issue. Because both DZs are TM driven when an instructor has to work with or teach a student they are often taken out of the TM rotation, which causes them to lose income. This is based on my 12 years of experience jumping in Hawaii and working at both DZs. Because Pacific Skydiving does not have the daily number of TM customers as SDH, we are better able to attend to our students and visiting jumpers. Everyone seems to forget just how long there has been skydiving in Hawaii and that we have grown students from the days of rounds to the present. Arvel

Right click, scan!!!!

Pot, class ring, Para-lert, plasma, blood, tools ect. All for an air-gasim :)

Here is a Flat "Stanley Cup" photo over the NS of Hawaii :) Arvel

Then that would be BEER :)

Raeford, near Fayetteville Tony Thanker will hook you up!!! Arvel

Yep, that first jump course was the best $50 I ever spent :) Well, except for the beer after jumping :)

Same as Airtwardo, packing was part of the first jump course and then we jumped our pack jobs on our first jump!! Arvel BSBD...........Its all about Respect, USPA#-7062, FB-2197, Outlaw 499

I have a mantra I repeat every time I track: TRACK MOTHER F**KER TRACK, TRACK MOTHER F**KER TRACK!!!!! That gets me about as far away as needed for the average 4 way :) BSBD...........Its all about Respect, USPA#-7062, FB-2197, Outlaw 499

Mmmm Sam Adams....... You will be fine, we just to often see young jumpers want to advance too soon and quit or get hurt early on. We will do our best to ensure you do not do either :) The life style and pace over here is much more laid back You will "hang loose" or go crazy!! See you soon!!! Arvel

No worries about the beer (Sam is my choice). Your progress will depend on your success as a student and our weather! We are very happy to help you meet all your goals, we just have to ensure you are learning as we go and learning safely!! Hawaii is a very cool place to learn to skydive and can be very dangerous too!! The DZ has ALL the hazards, ocean on one side, large hills on the other, trees, power lines, small DZ with fencing, and medium to high winds all the time!! Looking forward to your adventure too :) Arvel

Kevin, We look forward to your move and having new jumpers on the DZ (as we need beer). Anyway, please plan on the high side for the cost, then as you are more ingrained in our local Ohana (family) the cost will go down because some of us will jump with you for FREE :) I am not sure what gear rental cost at this time, the prices may have changed from the web site post, I will get a current cost sheet from the DZ and update you this weekend. For the most part our students do not get video with jumps unless they request that, however; most of us have camera gear so when you jump with us you will get photo/video for the low low cost of beer :) Stay Safe, Aloha!!! Arvel

Kevin, What do you want to know, we will do our best to give you information from both DZ's. You may PM me and I can give you a phone number if you want to talk or any of us Hawaii locals will answer your questions about each operation. Aloha!!! Arvel

Here is a TM from this weekend with Johny G as a guest :) Joe is the TM. Arvel

David, I would love a copy!!!! PM m or let us know how we can help you share this with us all!! Great collection!!!! Thanks, Arvel

Now that was "Money" :) Thanks!!! Arvel BSBD...........Its all about Respect, USPA#-7062, FB-2197, Outlaw 499

Here is Eric "Peg-Leg" over the North Shore this past weekend. Arvel

Yep, those kind of lines would make a girl fall out of control :)

~~BUMP~~ Dr. Bill will be 80 years young in two months!! He is still jumping, jumped several times this past weekend!! JOE (Jumper over Eighty)

Hey Mark, Hawaii misses you!!!! Stay Safe!! Arvel

DSE is correct, Pacific Skydiving will allow you to jump there with an "A" if the conditions are good enough. Please feel free to contact either DZ to get the first person information on what is or is not allowed at each company. Aloha!!!

From last weekend, very nice Sit position!!! Arvel

Very Funny, thanks for that!!!!

I just jumped a 1975 Sierra, see the thread on this same page. The reserve is a 1984 26 foot navy conical. Good times!! Arvel
