Chase I believe there's a DZ near Wuhan ( about two hours flying west of Shanghai) however I'm not sure of their hours of operation or even if it's open to the general public. Thailand now has a full time DZ with Pilatus Porter and is open 6 days a week check out thaiskyadventures.com there's also a DZ inSegamat Malaysia, but it only operates on occasional weekend. Sadly Asia is not that well served for DZ's.

I live in Singapore and just read about the new iFLY tunnel. It will be based on Sentosa island and plans to open Q1 2009, apparently it part of the Skyventure group. Sounds awesome, with no DZ here it will very welcome for local jumpers.

A license, 14 months off: what retraining is typical?
PittsBoy replied to Fireflyer's topic in Safety and Training
I've not got many more jumps than you ( only 120) and recently returned after a 9 month lay off. I was basically re drilled on EP's in a harness, given a very thorough DZ brief and then I did a jump from 12k with an instructor who briefed me well before hand on the content of the jump, exercises and procedures etc. I was initially thinking of doing a refresher but was told it was not necessaryQuote
