[anfa]

Hello
I try search from forum, but information was really limited.
I have do couple AFF jump and im coming stay longer time to Dominican Republic later this year and im very interested find skydiving school in Dominican if there have. Anyone know or can give me more information or contact details?

If some skydiving teacher/skydiver read this you can PM me email or skype address and we can talk more too. If i understand right there is possibility jump, but not sure can there learn to jump. If can i need choose between jump licence here or can i learn there and get licence.

But who know more let me know And sorry my english skills that is not my native language Thanks.

I'm with you CC. If I ever were to contemplate skydiving [highly unlikely because my knees go weak from heights], I'd want the school that has never had an accident - ever. Something about imagining a Dominican making 6,000 pesos a month packing my chute.....

Ay, Ay, Ay.

Good luck anfa... Do you have a good life insurance policy and if so can I be named as the beneficiary...? Just kidding. AlterEgo is spot on... Learn this from the best company you can find and pack your own chute when you come here or at least watch the preparation for it. Just like my dive gear, you life is in the gears hands and the quality of the preparation and maintenance. Enjoy your adventure!

I wouldn't care if they were being paid 60 THOUSAND pesos a month, it's the "Dominican" part that terrifies ME!!!!

I teach AFF for the FAD at San Isidro 2 weeks a year. But it is only for the Military. If you have a D license I can get you in, as we have a boogie every February. But no students except for DR Air Force.

I am a CSPA SSE, SSI, EJR, Coach 1, Coach 2, Ia, Ib, Rigger a, Strong Tandem master, Instructor. (Among many other things....) Sad to say there is little here in that regards to continue your career/education...

There is "some" experience diving here in February with the military... last civilian Dropzone here was a dozen years ago...

Perhaps SCUBA? as a PADI scuba instructor, OWSI, IDC Staff, instructor we can still do something instead?...

Hmmm. I dunno. 'Repeat customer' isn't really a concept here.

Thanks for good answer. Why this civilian Dropzone was closed? No enough jumpers and cannot keep open?

I jumped in San Isidro with a group of international jumpers for the 50th anniversary of the FAD. We stayed on base for a few days. That was a great time. Not sure if that was you that put it together or not.

It was put together by the FAD. We have it every year in February. If you want to participate this February let me know.

It would be awesome to do it again. However I sold all my gear a couple of years back. Maybe not for 2015, but if I can get back into it next year I'll try for 2016.

When I am go through a serious depression again I will make sure to go skydiving here, that will solve all my problems!

Hmmmm... I've got a packed military parachute I've been lugging around for the last ten years or so. It got wet once, but seemed to dry out OK without even unpacking it!!

I wonder how hard it would be to base jump off the highest building in Santo Domingo, the Silver Sun Mall??

With a round chute? Ever try landing a round chute in the wind on a city street. If it did open in time, the landing might kill you.

No idea, I've never opened it.

Then leave it where it is.

There is skydiving in Jarabacoa. Have seen the signs advertising the sport many times on the main Jarabacoa road.

They have Paragliding there. Not Skydiving, as there is no airport there. The difference is in Skydiving you jump from a plane. In Paragliding you jump off a mountain with a canopy already open, at least you hope it is open.

paragliding anyone? this is where u strap on a engine and sail from a high place with winds...i have seen it here...
