DZ around New Orleans

[oferbar 0]

Hi,
I'm going to be in New Orleans this July.
Can anyone recommend a DZ above and beyond what is already listed in dropzone.com?
Any personal experience?
I have 800+ jumps and a friend might want to make a tandem.
Thx and BS!

First, I am not from Louisiana - I live in North Carolina. I have read several things about all of the DZ's in the State of Louisiana closing down in the last year or so. I also talked with Paul Cozic (DZ.com username: "jumpercozic") jumpercozic@netzero.net while he was here at Raeford last week, who said the same thing. He is on staff at Gold Coast Skydivers in Moss Point, Mississipi http://www.goldcoastskydivers.com/ PM or email him; I'm sure he will give you some ideas. Have a great trip!
Respectfully,
SP

There are not any serious dz's in Louisiana any more. It is a little drive over to Moss Point but well worth it (maybe 2 hours drive). They have a Super Otter that is very fast and nice facilities (always adding something new). You can find RW and Free-flyers both there and the tandem rates are very reasonable. Oh yeah, and they go to 15,000 feet for 18 dollars.
