unlucky1 0 #1 January 18, 2008 Heading to Hawaii in 2 weeks... any pros/cons to jumping at either Pacific or Skydive Hawaii? I've heard lots of jumpers in the past say that they are mostly tandem factories. Is this true? and if it is true, what is the chance of getting on a few loads as a funjumper? Just trying to figure out if it is worth bringing my rig along especially if there may be only a small chance of getting on a load... Thanks for your help in advance, Johnny Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kcogletree 0 #2 January 19, 2008 Aloha Brudda, I just had a great time recently in Oahu, jumped both DZ centers, cause they were there...plenty of fun-jumpers to play with, took my gear, had a ball, great vibes from everyone. one center has to king air and the other a caravan and a couple of cessna's. Skydive Hawaii charges by altitude, Pacific was 23 to 14 grand. Hope this helps you and have the best skydives ever! BSBD!

mikecm469 1 #3 January 25, 2008 My brother and I both went to Pacific Skydiving in Aug. of '04 and had a blast. When we went jumping shut down in the afternoon after the tandems were done, so I'd go in the morning. Definitely some beautiful scenery. I may be crazy, but I'm not stupid!

superwoman8433 0 #4 January 28, 2008 GO TO PISC!! They usually shut down after the tandems, but the people there are GREAT!!! If you don't take your rig, you will be sorry. Just be ready for clouds, wind, and an awesome view!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HALO1 0 #5 January 29, 2008 As mentioned, both companies are fine and offer what you're looking for. PISC is my "home DZ" and we now jump the PAC750XL and still go to 14K EVERY load. There are plenty of fun jumpers here so bring your rig. Word of warning... We are in the winter weather pattern which means stronger than normal winds and increased rain. In fact, we've been gusting up to 35 all week on Oahu. Don't be sexist… Broads hate that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
