synthia331 0 #1 November 29, 2018 During the winter months in Europe, I feel that people are looking to jump in other countries with beautiful weather such as Maldives. Presently in Maldives we are jumping out of a Seneca that can carry upto 5 jumpers per load. www.skydivingmaldives.com We would like to organise a boogie from 1 March to 15 March 2019. If we have enough traction for the boogie, we would be more than willing to bring in a C208. There is a direct flight into Gan International Airport (where our DZ is located) from Sri Lanka. All skydivers planning to attend this event will have to fly into Sri Lanka (from Europe, USA, or Australia). Sri Lanka to Gan Airport (in Maldives) - flight cost is $300 USD Jump ticket cost is $43 USD Accommodation ranges from $50 USD per night to $5000 USD per night, depending on the luxury in which you would like to indulge upon. Please let me know if this idea would be of interest to anyone here? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ibby121 0 #2 December 1, 2018 This sounds like an amazing idea. I am a C license holder working in a Maldivian resort about 90 minutes from Gan by boat. I would love to attend the boogie and I have sent my details through to your website. Lets hope for a good crowd... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drakkar 1 #3 December 5, 2018 think about it summer season? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ibby121 0 #4 December 7, 2018 Hi drakkar, Please can you be more specific with the dates that you mean? Do you mean that we should hold the boogie during the summer season in Europe which is Jun to Aug? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drakkar 1 #5 December 8, 2018 Right europe summer season after june Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ibby121 0 #6 December 10, 2018 But people would like to jump in Europe during the summer season. When winter starts in Europe, which is around October - wouldn't it be a better time to have the boogie in Maldives? What do you think @drakkar ???

goobersnuftda 0 #9 January 9, 2019 Your web page has expired BTW. As of Jan 1st it has been off line. Not a good sign as it is a week past that date and you still have not fixed or noticed the problem. www.skydivingmaldives.com A 5 person jump ship would cause no end of headache for a boogie and people would not pay the $$$ to come to that. A Cessna Caravan is a different story as long as you can control the number of people attending. An African boogie with 400+ people showing up because of a dirt cheap boogie registration fee and a sub standard jumpship is a #1 route to failure. Its been tried BTW. Charge a good boogie registration price, limit the boogie to 100 jumpers MAXIMUM and give lots of prior notice so people can book time off work and plan for flights. Jan/Feb/Mar is winter time to travel. Summer time people stay home in the warm weather they have at home for free. Good Luck. I would go with the above conditions met so count me in.

Thanks for this valuable post. The website is back online now, it was down due to some a server error which is now fixed. We are presently planning our next boogie with a Caravan and will reveal details shortly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
