After giving up on a RAPS course in the UK due to too many weather delays I decided on the Free Fall University based at Ocana DZ because it seemed to be the most organised and advertised website. It didn't disappoint! The people; (instructors, manifest staff, pilots, riggers, admin staff, etc); whether they are Ocana DZ or Free Fall University employees are the friendliest bunch of people you are likely to meet in any sports centre. From the moment you arrive you feel welcome and by the time you leave you feel part of the team. I went with 3 friends and we all completed our AFFs in a short time by having fantastic instruction and availability of equipment and plane lifts. The staff are willing to advise you on any topic and spend as much time as necessary to help you both through the course and any advice you require afterwards. They make sure you are comfortable both at the drop zone and during the rest of your stay in the surrounding area. The DZ itself has all the facilities you need and is still expanding plus it shares facilities with the other aviation businesses which includes a bar, restaurant accommodation and swimming pool. The landing area is enormous and the weather, being Spain gives you more blue sky days than not. Prices are very reasonable for both jumping and socialising and there are plenty of lifts so even on a busy weekend you don’t notice the crowds. I can’t recommend the place or the Freefall University more!!
