fmmobley 0 #1 June 1, 2005 I just got my "A" license. I am visting my son in San Diego in two weeks, and have one day to jump at a drop zone out there. Perris and Elsinore (1 hour away) seem to be more well known but are farther away than Skydive San Diego (1/2 hr). Any recommendations?...

skyyhi 0 #2 June 1, 2005 Skydive San Diego is a great place to jump but if you are planning on jumping midweek, Perris or Elsinore would be the better choice as there are more planes in the air at those two dzs.________________________________________ Take risks not to escape life… but to prevent life from escaping. ~ A bumper sticker at the DZ FGF #6 Darcy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveNFlorida 0 #3 June 2, 2005 We visited all 3 on our trip out there. We got to Perris and Elsinore during the weekdays, and Elsinore was not very busy, but had recently had a fire or something. They were super friendly there, everyone chatted after the day was done:) Perris was bigger, and we got a few jumps in, but it didn't have as good a vibe as Elsinore. People were not unpleasant at all, though, I just liked Elsinore a little better personally. SD San Diego by far had the best view, there were lots of swoopers, and they had people offering freefly coaching for free. Everyone was very pleasant and the burritos were good. I liked this dz the best of the three. It's all a matter of preference, though. :) -A Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fmmobley 0 #4 June 24, 2005 Thanks to everyone for their recommendations... I ended up going to Elsinore and had a fantastic time. Next time I will try the others.... Marion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
