Skydive New Zealand?

[wildernessmedic 0]

Going to NZ in March for a spearfishing trip. Trying to figure out if it's worth dragging my skydive/BASE rig over(already have a bunch of dive gear).

We're going to Paihai. Anyone jumped around there before? Is it fun jumper friendly? I'll basically have one day to go and try to get one or two unless it will take all day waiting for one load. Think is better to leave the skydive rig at home and rent there? Is it possible?

Anyone who's been there and has experience is appreciate some info.

2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 lefts do.

Thanks. Waiting for a reply back from bay of the islands. But not sure about their ratings and such there? How different from uspa? Would you bring yours along or try to rent there?

Best you contact the DZs directly - NZ is a bit fucked up and has multiple part 149 organisations. Ballistic Blondes is a NZPO organisation and Bay of Islands is NZPIA. You need to join an organisation to jump at their affiliated DZs. Not sure of the cost but it shouldn't be too expensive.

Seriously??

Stupid bay of the islands doesn't even offer fun jumps.

Why not rent? Guessing you'll rack up some extra baggage fees at the very least.
