Hello, im new here,
Im looking for dz in europe which operate not just on weekends and have mostly good weather in october-november, a place i could get a good numbers of jumps in a week time...
And i am also looking to get in the same time my first rig, so is their any big gear shop that has a variety used rigs in europe that you of?
The only dz that i found to work year round is skydive empuriabrava and skydive spain...
Thanks for the help!

Skydive Algarve seems to be the up and coming place in Europe. Open all year.

thanks.... so as far as i understand spain is the only option for good steady weather in europe during october november...

and for my second question, i am pretty desperate for a good big parachute/rigger shop in europe that have reasonable prices for services and gear... because currently my rig is in a shop that asks pretty ridicules prices for reserve packjob, and other services...
any recommendation will be appreciated...

The answer is easy: Empuriabrava. Great weather year-round and 7/7 workdays.

I live in Germany (great DZ nearby) but when I was to jump, jump, jump I take a cheap Ryan Air flight to Spain.
