The facilities are pretty awesome. Nice big covered packing area, free tea and coffee. And I found the staff quite friendly towards sporties, most introduced themselves and had a friendly chat. But thats about it though.
They`ve just put there prices up to NZ$60 a jump ticket!!! Everywhere else in NZ is $35 and you`ll always be going solo. Even if you want to jump with a friend it`s unlikely.
And there XLR8 program (just a flashy name for AFF) is incredibly expensive and I`ve heard from people that have sadly done it, that the instructors can`t really be bothered with you and they`ll purposly fail you on some stages to get even more money out of you. I didn`t do it there (thank god) so I`m only going on what I`ve heard from people i`ve spoken to.
Glenorcy is the place to head for some sport jumps. Increadable scenery!! A nice small friendly DZ with a Porter or head up to Skydive Able Tasman in Motueka.
Blue ones!!!
