    If your main concern is the cost and I think for students going over to New Zealand from overseas is $15,000 that's about $9,000 US. I'd take alook at these sites, http://www.skydiveaz.com http://www.skydivespacecenter.com [url] www.skydivedeland.com Who I think offer much better value for money. Good one on one coaching, fantastic weather. Lot's of camera advise I think alot of days could be spent on the ground in Christchurch, being so close to the sea it's famous for it's strong winds coming of the sea. I've met some guys who tried to do there AFF there and gave up cause of the weather.

    Hi Blake , look carefully at what you get when you sign up for that course , it does not say that it makes you into a camera person , with around 200 jumps included in the price , most of them solo's, I would imagine you would need a lot more additional training and jumps to be able to be a camera flyer , I have heard that quite a few people were quite disgruntled with the course. Before you sign up I would ask for information on how many students get camera jobs after the course , and how long they have to wait - rumor has it that many people fail to get employed as cameramen at dz's in the country and are just used as free labour , packing etc on the work experience part of the course. For the cost of this course you could probably get some pretty good training in the US or somewhere else , where you could learn some decent flying skills. good luck in your future skydiving
