buzi 0 #1 January 31, 2006 Hello guys and girls, I will be in Italy for a little while 20mins away from a DZ (skydive Salerno). I have tried to write to them, in English ,and french (haven't yet busted out my hungarian though). I wanted to find out a few things (don't have my gear with me and want to find out what they rent for example). Does anybody know this DZ, or can speak Italian and could maybe translate an email for me. Thanks for any input , any is appreciated, but please write so I understand unlike the post I just read from "timmybuddhadude" about "can anyone five me my aff for £1 /£1/1sheikaweika" Craziest most incomprehensible post ever Thanks and Blue skies Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andre1 0 #2 February 1, 2006 Go to http://world.altavista.com/ You can type your email in English and the website will translate it into Italian. It will not be perfect. If you use simple sentences you will get your point across. Good luck and have a good trip. Ciao Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silvereye 0 #3 February 1, 2006 Hi, I know a couple of persons who work in that DZ, or jump there every week end. There is also an Italian forum where a guy already posted a link to your request. If you send me an e-mail I can translate it for you. I will also ask the people at the DZ for a contact that speaks or at least understands english. Have a nice trip and enjoy Italy!

kjarv 0 #5 February 2, 2006 Hi there! Skydive Salerno has been my home DZ for the past 2.5 years They are only open weekends (except for boogies/holidays a couple times a year) Sundays are the best day to jump out there--italians work saturdays so they don't get started on sat am until late morning. Jumps are 23 euro if you are a 'member' (escrizione is the italian word they'll use)---membership is expensive, over 100 euro/year and it's not pro rated (I think that's what you call it if they make you pay in Dec 05, and then have to renew in January 06) . non member jumps are 30 euro. They have gear available to rent, but you probably have to be a member to rent it.... I don't know what gear rental costs. They jump a Turbo Porter that looks like it's brand new :) The DZ has a lot of nice people, quite a few english speakers. They are a bit disorganized, in that special southern italian sort of way The DZ is also home to Caribinieri jump training, so you'll be treated to watching low altitude static line jumps on rounds, which will make you appreciate your cool, stearable canopy and tiptoe landings after watching those kids missile into the ground I'm going to miss it.... have fun. -kjarv Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
