riggerrob 643 #2 July 14, 2006 There are three DZs serving Ottawa. Adrenaline Tandem (613) 850-6708 Mile High Arnprior, west of Ottawa (613) 836-1256 Skydive Gananoque an hour or 90 minutes South of Ottawa, overlooking the Saint Lawrence River and Thousand Islands. (613) 382-5114 Paramax, Alexandria, Ontario 1-877-parachute (613) 850-6708 Also, there used to be a DZ at Gatineau Airport, just across the Ottawa River (east of Hull, Quebec), but the old owner moved to Alexandria, Ontario (South east of Ottawa) and it is rumored that one of his old partners tried to re-start the DZ in Gatineau.

mdrejhon 8 #5 July 14, 2006 I'm an Ottawa resident. I like Skydive Gananoque (1.5 hours) and NouvelAir (2.5 hours) the best because they are the ones with the Twin Otter. (Gananoque part time, and NouvelAir full time). NouvelAir is farther away though. Mile High - 45 minutes from Ottawa Paramax - 60 minutes from Ottawa Gananoque - 1.5 hours from Ottawa NouvelAir (Quebec) - 2.5 hours from Ottawa All 4 dropzones are lots of fun though, the best dropzone may be what kind of vibe you prefer too. Go try them all! I'm also hosting the Rainbow Boogie at NouvelAir. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
