    A friend of mine is moving to San Francisco and is looking for a nice friendly DZ close to the city , any recommendations ? He has been looking at Skydive San Francisco but I have heard its 80 miles outside town Are there any others closer ?

    no prob Dave ,you can count on me We have been jumping the porter for 4 weeks now , Sweet jumpship .Nice to be getting some real altitude in

    there is a nice new bunk house on the DZ ,think its about €5 per night , Alternatively you can stay in Ma's B&B ,15 minutes walk from DZ but its within crawling distance of Richies pub

    I had a case of this recently , problem was battery contacts ! If the + contact (the top one )is not protruding enough into battery compartment you need to prise it out a little with a very small screwdriver ,careful though ,dont want to snap it off If you are not comfortable with this contact your local field support guy http://www.alti-2.com/FieldSupportLocatorPages/_Australia.htm

    These guys produce some good looking escape systems ,http://www.conceptsafety.com/ they use a static lined paradactyl ( e-vest )for 40m+ and a rappel type device ( e-rope ) for lower exit

    Aerograd is pretty good ,Staff are really friendly and helpful too . we were there for 2 weeks last July . Good aircraft & facilities ( can do 10-14 jumps per day with 1 rig ) and unbeatable prices ,€8 jumps and €2 pack jobs ,although I think the jump prices are going up this year Anybody know if they are putting in a pond for this season ?

    Surprise! Surprise! The website appears to have been removed! This whole thing is very suspicious

    Definitely not real ,its a small country with a very small skydiving population , We all know each other and would know if there was a turbine DZ operating in out back yard ! Dont know any of the staff either ,specially the ones who are supposed to be Irish A skydiving friend of mine lives in Maam Cross in Connemara and I think she would notice a " twin turbo-engined ???" Grand Caravan flying over her house Also all the aircraft photos appear to come from the Cessna website ? Could just be a student project but would love to know what these guys are up to .

    I would recommend the Neptune ,I have put about 250 jumps on my Neptune and 350 on a pro-track ,the Neptune is way better .it is years ahead of anything out there , its cheaper , and their customer service is fantastic ( I also had a cracked screen replaced for free ) had a couple of little teething problems at the beginning but the newer software versions are bullet proof ! it records speed at 12 ,9 ,6 ,3 and overall average .the recording altitudes can also be changed by an alti2 service rep

    Can you make it over to Grand Canaria ? there is a rockin boogie planned for this christmas . The boogie ends January 3rd but the turbine aircraft will not leave until around the 5th of January . After that they will still have a 206 and a helicopter http://jump-for-life.com/boogie.htm I think they also operate in Tenerife from time to time check out http://jump-for-life.com/eng/where.html
