dove 0 #4 March 4, 2001 I was at the Search this year and it was indeed an awesome skydiving and learning experience. There were 2 students to each instructor and most instructors had 2 rigs so were doing back-to-backs all day. They are excellent instructors - I could not believe how much I was learning and how much better I got at skydiving in such a short time. Actually, you wouldn't want the Search to be any bigger than it already is or you would lose the 2/1 student-teacher ratio and also not be able to do as many loads a day. When you do so many jumps in a small time you can really build on your experience and progress much quicker. An extra bonus - all of the students and coaches were wonderful people and I think everyone left with many more friends than they came with! You don't have to wait for the Search though to get excellent training from Skydive U. I never understood what all the hub-bub about them was until I went and I am a NEW skydiver! Check them out at skydiveu.com. Cheers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
