RichyR 0 #1 November 14, 2016 I've noticed the Palm, Duabi have dropped the jump number req down to 300 now, but along with the 2x canopy courses have also introduced Water Jump Training as a requirement. Does anyone have any more info on this? Is it just a briefing, or proper practical that's needed? It's OK for USPA, but in the UK the BPA has no requirement for water training in the licence system, and I can't find anyone who does it. I've emailed the DZ, but haven't heard back. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FreeFlyCowboy 0 #2 November 15, 2016 300 with 2 canopy courses has been the minimum for a bit now. 500 jumps without canopy courses. As far as the water training, it would be the equivalent of the water training one would receive for their USPA B license. So actually jumping into water with a rig and actually swimming out of the harness and out from under the canopy. Water training is pretty important as the palm since you're above water 90% of the time. As far as doing water training there, check with the desert campus. Ask for Tukes or Pat and they'll get you squared away."To the moon" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
