bigbearfng 18 #1 September 10, 2004 We'll be taking a vacation to Costa Rica next year, and I saw that there is a DZ there. I'm wondering if anyones jumped there and liked it, would go back/no way in hell go back/ or in between? If anybody says it's unsafe, then I'll leave my rig at home. Thenks for any info!

ojf1982 0 #2 September 10, 2004 Leave your rig at home as the only thing resembling a DZ there is a small club which only organizes itself once a month, sometimes 2 months, that rents a cessna and pilot for a day.The edge ... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who know where it is are those that have gone over - Hunter S.

ojf1982 0 #4 September 14, 2004 Can you post a link here? The DZ I mentioned is the only one I know about. I visit CR regularly, and my friend lives there (who travels every few weeks to Miami to jump) and that is the only one I know about, and he would have told me if there was anything new going on over there.The edge ... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who know where it is are those that have gone over - Hunter S.

ojf1982 0 #6 September 14, 2004 I am not aware of that dz. The one I was referring to is based in San Jose not 2 hours outside of it. I emailed the link to my friend, and I will let you know what his response is, if it is the same one or not.The edge ... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who know where it is are those that have gone over - Hunter S.

bodypilot1 0 #8 September 15, 2004 Look ">here. Talk to a friend of mine named Toryalai Hart. He's part owner of the DZ there that is roughly two hours by road south of San Jose, south of Jaco, near Playa Hermosa. -www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djacouma 0 #9 January 6, 2005 Hey - Tory Hart here from the DZ in Costa Rica. Jumping is seasonally inverted for us and the last 6 months have been a test drive and startup period for doing a DZ in costa rica. We are here and operating as volume allows, have a 206 (have rented at times when our was down for maintenance or in customs during importation which is now complete). If we have three tandems or 5 experienced jumpers all willing to do 4+ loads / day, we will operate. Gorgeous DZ resort http://www.elbacara.com right on the beach. Perfect weather Dec through April. Incredible scenery. Experienced: Let us know a little ahead of time so we can give you a feel for upcoming tandem / experienced jumper volume around the time that you hope to come down. First year of operations so we are indeed running slow... but running so come and visit! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
