i mailed a guy that's into parachuting and got some very interesting/useful info: It would be really beneficial if you do the first jump course at any dropzone. http://www.jsc.co.za is the closest dropzone to Johannesburg / Pretoria that offers the static line course. In the course they teach you al...

How many hours must you wait from the time you get out of the water until it is safe to fly? Was it 24? yeah i was taught 24 hours, apparently you can get bent just from driving back to GP after diving i would imagine even going for a flip at the coast after a dive could be dangerous hey!? so to go...

anthonyhugo, just take the money that you want to spent on building a nice simulator and use it for training...believe me; you will enjoy it more!!!
