riggerrob 643 #2 June 26, 2004 Far easier to complete AFF in a warm, dry climate like New Zealand or Australia. Clouds can really slow the learning process in Britain. Wait until you have a couple dozen jumps before you buy more than goggles or an altimeter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nael 0 #4 June 28, 2004 I jump in Sydney, Australia - at Picton. I've recently finished AFF and the instructors are really good, and willing to help you out however they can. This is the website if you want to have a look(sydneyskydivers.com.au), but it's pretty cold here at the moment so maybe Thailand is your best bet!www.TerminalSports.com.auAustralia's largest skydive gear store Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vt1977 0 #5 June 28, 2004 Are you based in the UK? If so you could consider doing an AFF course in Spain (do a search, this has been discussed a few times) either at a Spanish DZ or various British AFF instructors take courses abroad which are run to the BPA structure.
