gonzalesna 1 #1 May 15, 2008 I'm just east of Pensacola. Currently, I'm jumping at Emerald Coast, but I need to find a place to do my water training so I can get my B license before Memorial Day. Emerald Coast does it on occasion, but the last time they did one, I was unable to attend. I'm trying to find a place with a pool that's within driving distance that I can go to do my water training on a weekend. (Preferably this weekend.) If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pilotdave 0 #14 May 21, 2008 The requirements for water training are in the SIM. If you land in the water and have an instructor go over the required material with you and you demonstrate swimming and all that, then sure, why not? If you just land in a swoop pond, then no, that's not water training. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPAWNmaster 0 #15 May 22, 2008 OK. thanks for the reply. the reason for the confusion is that in the SIM it just specifies a briefing by an instructor on what to do in a water landing situation but doesn't actually specify actually landing in water nor parameters for such a jump. Quotedocumentation of live water landing training with full equipment in accordance with the procedures in the Skydiver's Information Manual a little vague. but thanks for the clarification Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #16 May 22, 2008 An intentional water jump used to be required. Now you just need to get all geared up (in an old, non-airworthy rig) and jump in a pool. The canopy will be draped over your head, and you need to swim out. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #18 May 22, 2008 Quote i think i'll just do a water jump if the opportunity presents itself. (skyfest, perhaps???) If you're talking about doing an intentional water jump without water training - the thing is that with most planned jumps over or near water (whether they're beach jumps where everyone intends to land on the sand or lake jumps where people plan to take a swim) you won't be allowed to do them till you have water training (B license is generally a requirement). So in this day and age you will most likely be jumping in a pool (or lake or swoop pond) with ratted out gear before you do any kind of water landing, unless it is one that is quite unintentional (and those are often ugly situations like some DZs I've been to where a very bad spot coupled with some bad decision making could put you in a river. Not a fun water landing.)"There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J.

crotalus01 0 #19 May 28, 2008 Bullshit. Thats a real pet peeve of mine with the USPA "rules". The A license allows intentional water landings but according to the SIM you are not REQUIRED to have water training until the B license If one of you up jumpers want to explain please feel free...

Water jumping... 'A' license~ If ya want to ya can, but don't have to. 'B' license~ Ya have to whether ya 'want to' or not. . . . get it now?

The A license allows intentional water landings but according to the SIM you are not REQUIRED to have water training until the B license If one of you up jumpers want to explain please feel free... The way it comes across to me is that if you want to do the water training as an "A" jumper, if you complete the water training, you have the required training to do a water jump, be it beach or otherwise, to perform that. It's required to obtain a "B" regardless of whether you plan on doing anything in water or not. This is the way I understand it as read. I want to obtain a "B" because it's just flat out easier to flash a "B" than to flip through the log book and show training courses. If I did the water training, I see no reason why I couldn't jump at the beach here in Emerald Coast, regardless of what license I hold. I have obtained the needed requirements to be able to deal with the known hazards of making such a jump. As I said, that's as I understand the material read.Some people refrain from beating a dead horse.

NWFlyer 2 #22 May 30, 2008 Quote If I did the water training, I see no reason why I couldn't jump at the beach here in Emerald Coast, regardless of what license I hold. The reason could be the DZO says no - skydivers seem to forget that we always jump at the discretion of the DZO. He or she could decide you need a D license or red hair or 300 jumps on a purple canopy to jump the beach. Some DZs are okay with water training only, some want B license qualified, some want the actual B license.
