You should contact Kim from DeLand Kim@skydiveu.com she can help you out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lauras 0 #3 January 1, 2009 Add to SDU: Chromy @ Deland Ari Perlman @ Deland/Sebastian Sally Hathaway @ Zhills All very active jumpers & tunnel coaches. All highly recommended. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lana26 0 #4 January 1, 2009 Ari is not a Skydiving Instructor and the person wants somebody who is also an Instructor. I would also recommend Chromy he s very good and speaks 20+ languages, He works for Skydive University. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeedToJump 0 #6 January 2, 2009 Just want to clarify one thing - I am not a skydiving 'instructor' as I do not have tandem or AFF ratings, but I am a skydiving coach and do a lot of RW and freefly coaching in both the tunnel and the sky. I am a Skydive U coach as well. All of the coaches mentioned above are great. Feel free to PM me if you want any information.Wind Tunnel and Skydiving Coach http://www.ariperelman.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dgskydive 0 #11 January 13, 2009 I didnt read the entire thread, but Sally Hathaway is a VERY good choice. 4 way champion, world record holder. You can contact her at Zhills. She has a rigging loft there, but I forget the name of it.Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hchunter614 0 #12 February 5, 2009 Just wanted to post an update. We worked with Kim at SDU and did a total of one hour in the tunnel on the 27th. Mick and Will were our coaches from SDU and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for tunnel coaching. They are both top notch coaches! They took the time before our flight to find out what our goals were and then put together a plan to accomplish them. During our debrief they took the time to watch our entire flight with us and provided additional instruction and things to work on in the air. THANKS Mick and Will!!

muzzler 0 #13 February 13, 2009 Hey there ever thought about talking directly with the tunnel. The dude that stands in the door,aka..the instructor could easily help out and probably a generous tip would do.these dudes stand in the door all day and fly a bunch....if anything they have a seriously good knowledge of the wind and contrary to popular beleif,some of them do skydive too. look at it as kinda purchasing a product from the source and not going through the middle man!! hope that helps??

teamlf 0 #14 February 13, 2009 Well I happen to know for a fact that both Mickey Nutall and Will Pesek are Tunnel Instructors and Excellent Coaches as well. So i think this person went to the best sources possible. Just my two cents. but then again i don't know much! Plamer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VivaHeadDown 0 #15 February 14, 2009 If you can get in touch with the Reverend Palmer, he's a decent coach... I hear Don't Confuse Me With My Own Words Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
funfall 0 #16 February 14, 2009 Gotta put in another good word for Mick at SDU. And I'd recommend getting the same coach for tunnel and jumps, if you're doing both. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or you could simply become a middleman yourself like many EX tunnel workers have done.... However your profile is blank so i dont know who you are!!! If you are so special at what you do im sure you would have entered your details, people do look at this forum and US middlemen actually get work and referrals from it, So maybe we are just better at marketing than you are........ Hope that helps?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
