Sletzer 3 #3 November 13, 2012 About 2 months before I went to Jamaica a few years ago I called the DZ to make sure they were up and running. Turns out they stopped operations in the 3 months before I got down there. I guess I should have called back and confirmed they were stilll open right before I left. Still, its extremely disappointing to drag you gear through customs and not be able to jump. If you can't manage to get them on the phone I wouldn't count on it being open. If you can get them on the phone I wouldn't count on them being open. Just my personal experience.I will be kissing hands and shaking babies all afternoon. Thanks for all your support! *bows* SCS #8251 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Narcosis 0 #6 December 7, 2012 My girlfriend's father live in Jamaica, last week he went to the dropzone (Boscobel) to had a look and they were doing tandem...! He's not a expert, but he saw such activities. So, it's a bit confusing, I got no answer by phone or email, but they run activities...La vie est une maladie mortelle, sexuellement transmissible !

Narcosis 0 #8 January 17, 2013 So this is my Jamaica feedback: No more skydiving in Jamaica, too much taxes over there apparently. BUT, If you got time (at least a week before jumping), you can request permission from the Ministry of Civil Aviation and jump on the small airfield of Kingston, with a Cessna. (500USD per hour). It's even harder with a helicopter, you will need a VERY special authorization. Otherwise, scubadiving is nice also ;-)La vie est une maladie mortelle, sexuellement transmissible !

AviationTD 0 #9 May 6, 2013 Is there any update on this matter? I am going there next month for a week-long vacation. Obviously, it will be cool to jump there. I just need to know if I should bring my gear or I would be wasting my time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
