Skydive Empuriabrava

This was the first time I had jumped abroad, and Empuriabrava was certainly above my expectations. Great!!!

I finished my AFF at CPCB & stopped in the bunkhouse for the first few days, although it was cold, (December) the price's are excellent (about 6 euros a night).

I was there for the Christmas boogie, which was my first boogie anywhere, so I was a little apprehensive to start with, but was filled with confidence by the staff and friendly atmosphere there.
Language is not a problem here either, English, Spanish, Catalan, German, French and Italian are all spoken and everyone is made to feel right at home.

Speaking as an ex AFF student, I can't praise this place enough, the rental gear is good, as well as the club shop, and not forgetting the bar too.

Anyone from the UK looking at going here, need not worry, the nightlife rocks, good places to go are the captains cabin, the orange kiwi, and of course the surf inn.

I eventually got accommodation at the Nimbin (http://www.nimbin2000.com/) which is owned by Paul & Tanya and run at the moment by Sophia (00(34) 972 45 09 75)
its run exclusively for skydivers by skydivers and of course the price's are right.
Any questions ?

Feel free to pm me for any details, and I will do my best to help.

went there to end my consolidation jumps, and a few fun ones... the people are great, the scenery incredible... if you want to understand what I mean, try the sunset load...

this is one aweome DZ, great vibes, great people(apart from some stuck up british packer chicks that were there last summer + emm the most useless bird ever)Babylon is an incredible fly school(way better than olavs money making copywriting entitiy). The only downside is when the winds pick up but what the hell, just get pissed if that happens. this place is almost too good socially, i spent the last 2 summers jumping from 9 to 7 then drunk from 7:30 to 5 in the morning. mega. ps tom is a sky bitch

Great location, allthough the blanket covered concrete hangar floor is hard on the knees if you want shaded packing...

The organizing was well done when I went.

If the weather turns crappy, there is quite a bit to do around, depending on your likes...

Loads of good restaurant in Empuria (some not so good, so ask around!). The will no doubt say Oasis is good (its run by a Skydiver - Gabby - and you know what, it IS good... realllly good...

Hey skyrats, i don't understand that nobody has given you guys a rating yet.
Your boogies are great. The staff is professional. The food is excellent, try "plato del dia" from Gaston. The scenic view of the bay is fantastic. Captain's cabin is a must.
If you've never been in Ampuria. What have you been doing??
