Although it was some time ago that I was here I still must add my opinion. After beginning aff in a different country I returned to the u.k. still with the last 3 levels left to do. I chose Neveraven to complete aff after it was recommended to me by another person who was jumping in the dropzone overseas. After driving for 4 hours from the other side of england I arrived at Netheraven, situated in the stunning english countryside close to stone henge. When I enquired about completing the aff I was referred to a guy who introduced himself but the said that as I had not been there before he could even speak to me I would have to wait until he had dealt with and jumped with every other person there who was doing aff. I waited for 5 hours before I could even speak to this character who was then extremely rude saying that as I had started the course abroad under uspa rules the instruction was not to the level of their bpa instructors and then went on to talk about himself and how much of a sky god he is. Incidentally a friend I went to Netheraven with who was in the same situation as me was treated extremely well and finished her course there, although I think this may have had something to to with the fact that she was female and blonde. Basically in the end I chose another dropzone to finish the course at after been ignored, spoken to rudely and generally treated like sh*t. For the whole six hours or so I was there I was made to feel unwelcome and patronised as a student. Overall the general atmosphere is one I wish that no one else has to experience again EVER, especially as a paying customer. In short I do not recommend this place to anyone unless: 1. You are affiliated with the military and are a regular at this dropzone. 2. You have had a private school education at the same school as the regulars there (and are a regular there yourself). 3. You are an extremely good looking female in which case you will be welcome here regardless. If you do not fall into one of these three category's forget it and spend your money somewhere else. It was nearly two years ago since I was at this dropzone and I had hoped that things might have changed but after reading recent reviews I think not. Since completing aff I have made significant progress in my chosen fields of skydiving and have began base jumping. I hope that anyone else who is treated badly as a student by these sorts of people do not let it put them off the sport and persist as it becomes much more worthwhile when you are in the company of people that treat you as an equal instead of subhuman
