frimert 0 #1 July 5, 2005 Hi everyone. I have searched the net but did not find any skydiving on Jamaica? Does anyone in here know of any dz on jamaica? I have received a scholarship from the swedish government and the european union. The aim is for me to find a placement on my own, and i want to be on a dropzone. The length of the scholarship is 6 months. So please, any tip is worthful for me. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fergs 0 #3 July 6, 2005 I made a bunch of skydives in jamaica back in the mid-80's. Some were into a horse racing track near Kingston. Also a weekend at a little airfield up in the mountains. There were some pretty enthusiastic jamaican jumpers plus one US guy living there at the time. Probably all contacts now too old to be current, but i'll pull out log books and check it out for you. Oh, I busted my ankle on a jump on the mountain weekend. We flew back into Kingston so I could be driven to the hospital. On the way stopped at a bar for a rum or two. Then stopped at another bar between the first and the hosopital, then another between ..... Eventually my ankle was cured - well at least for THAT day. Next day was another story - complicated by the fact I had a london flight to catch. My wife did not show an ounce of sympathy. I cannot understand why. Good luck, fergs BMCI Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
