  1. Thanks for the info and help, really appreciate it!!!
  2. It would be anytime between the middle of august this year and end of january next year...., that's the time off and available. Looking at preferably doing all the jumps in 1 and a half to 2 months, doing between 6 to 8 jumps a day, averaging 6 days a week jumping. A dropzone with accomodation on site would be great too, anything from camping to lodging..... Thanks for replying! I've been doing a bit of research online, but not every site is clear on individual jumps and if there's a discount on 200 jumps purchased in one go, so I'm emailing them, but sometimes first-hand experience advice is a better indication.
  3. I'm wanting to buy a gift for a friend, to purchase a total of 200 jumps at a dropzone! The aff and 100 jumps is already under the belt, and I'll be paying in euros, but don't mind converting to any other currency as I'll look into flights and accomodation and work everything out from there. Also, it needs to be a dropzone that has freefly friendly rigs available for hire, 150 size canopy or less, as there's quite a few months to go until recieving the rig that's ordered? So, anywhere europe or america or s.africa(currency converts pretty good there). Any guidelines would be really appreciated, thanks very much!
  4. I have been thinking about pursuing a career in any field to do with skydiving, whether it be on a dropzone or in a tunnel......, obviously it's the passion of flying that keeps anyone going, but is it worth paying SO much money in order to get to some level of qualification in order to start earning money, and is the money good enough to sustain a comfortable way of living? Or is it better to just keep skydiving as a passionate hobby? I only have myself to rely on to get anywhere anyway, so it's gonna blow the budget but I'm willing to suffer in the interem if it's worth it and constant work is guaranteed, if there's a need or lack of either! Any advice is welcomed, thanks
  5. I checked out the google site, but there's only mention of the cost for tunnel time and camps etc..., was wondering, if someone wanted to self fund themselves at, lets say, the orlando tunnel, then how much roughly could one expect to pay to get the qualification as a level 1 Instructor? Any feedback is appreciated
  6. I was wondering if anyone would be able to give me some idea of how much the level 1 instructor training course through skyventure would be? Been having a debate about it and was wondering if anyone could set the record straight! Cheers
