Hello, everybody! I know it is still a bit cold to talk about that, but I will probably spend 2 weeks in St Petersburg this summer. Dates still fully flexible! I would like to know if any of you know where is the best DZ around St Petersburg. I read on DZ.com about Gatchina, Baltic Air Club and Kasimovo... which is the best? "Best" for me means not too far from St Petersburg, lots of planes / Mi-8s and good chance of lining 5-8 jumps per day. It means I want a busy DZ rather than a cosy one : I cannot speak russian at all... Also are there boogies scheduled up there this summer? Thanks! Essentially skydiver www.c10h22.com

A great place to jump, with OJB (the inventor of chute assis) always there to help, give advice and organize loads. Super staff with 100% dedication to skydivers. I only recently discovered Mimizan but since then I returned to Mimizan many times, although I live 150km from there and I have a DZ at my doorstep in my hometown (Royan)! Incredible view over the atlantic coast as you jump and good geography so that it is easy to find your bearings when you have lost it during a jump! They say the dorm will be improved in 2006. That would make it an A++ DZ!
