bigway 4 #2 October 20, 2004 i was on the first course and really enjoyed it. i understand it has developed into a good school. The one thing that this course will do for you is teach you to become a very aware and safe skydiver. the course has produced quite a few tandem masters now that earn alot of money in new zealand. christchurch is a cheap place to live. You will start the course off slowley and then end up doing 5 or more jumps a day, definetly good for the word 'school'. my advice though is, it is a school, and make sure you have the full amount of money up front. also make sure you have enough money to by your own gear or then it will get expensive hiring the gear. They have just bought a new turbine aircraft so it sounds like you will have lots of jumping each day to do. I am sure rhys will be posting in this thread to tell you more pretty soon. good luck and welcome to skydiving .Karnage Krew Gear Store . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigway 4 #4 October 20, 2004 no, i have problems with this school and am usually against it but it is a good way to get into skydiving. My problems with them are my problems with the directors and no one else's. In general though i am just answering his question. my dropzone has started their own course but he is not asking about that. i think it is a quick and effective way to get 200 jumps and you do come out of it a safe jumper considering you have had 50 i hour lectures on all different aspects of the course. i have had issues with the money side of things but i have given up going on about that as it is not needed here in the forums. i reccomend learning to skydive to anyone, and if you can afford to pay for 200 jumps up front and get valuable lectures out of it...go for it. I am in no way associated with this school though, apart from being an ex student who did not graduate. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
