zirkle 0 #1 January 31, 2008 Hi there! I usually don't get on here very much but I need some help. My older sister, who has done a couple of tandems, and I are going to Oahu in September. She definitely wants to do another tandem while we are there because I told her how gorgeous it was since I have been to Hawaii before. I was just wondering if anyone has jumped on Oahu and has any pointers that I can forward to my sister. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yamtx73 0 #3 January 31, 2008 Skydive Hawaii and Pacific Skydiving are both on Oahu, both at the same airfield... I haven't jumped at Skydive Hawaii, but did jump at Pacific.. I think Skydive Hawaii puts the tandems out first, at a lower altitude, but I'm not positive on this. Pacific takes tandems all the way up and puts them out after the fun jumpers...The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HALO1 0 #4 January 31, 2008 I live and jump on Oahu... Pacific Skydive. I actually jump at both companies, but primarily at Pacific. If you're looking for altitude and a FULL 60 seconds of freefall, then it's a no-brainer... Pacific Skydive Center. You'll go ALL THE WAY to 14K. At Hawaii, tandems typically get out at 10K. However, both companies have very experienced TMs. Don't be sexist… Broads hate that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zirkle 0 #5 January 31, 2008 Thanks for your help; I think that we will be going to Pacific Skydive. I know that she has done her tandems at Perris Valley since she lives in L.A. and I think that they go to 13000. Since she has been to 13,000, I am guessing she will want to do that again or close to it. Thanks so much for you help and will be seeing you in September :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikecm469 1 #6 January 31, 2008 When my brother and I jumped there in 2004, we jumped at Pacific and we got between 14000 and 15000 every jump. I may be crazy, but I'm not stupid! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Truly a kind and caring skydiving company Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
