Review AFF IRC in Dubai

Tuesday, 22.02.2011

We have returnd from Dubai but we are still amazed by the greatness of the city. It was our first visit to Skydive Dubai and its sister DZ Skydive Dubai Desert Campus and we were greeted with a warm, friendly and great hospitality. The AFF Instructor course was easy going as all four candidates are experienced tunnel instructors and really good flyers.

With the help of USPA I/E Raul Bocanegra for the evaluations and with Steve and Jason’s help on the videos, we could finish the whole course in 6 days and pass our congratulations to the participants:

– Karim Malik (Germany)
– Lauren Demme (USA)
– Stephanie Strange (USA)
– Naomi Kotzee (South Africa)

You have well deserved your AFF Instructor Rating! Have fun with it and always stay safe! We thank you for the participation and we thank the whole team of SD and SD2 for the great organisation of this course. We had an awesome time and we shall return soon!

Review AFF Pre-Course

Thursday, 10.02.2011

During our stay at sunny Skydive Spain during Feb 7-9th, we were pleased to meet Chris Gilmore from UK (Wales) who travelled to Spain in order to go for some AFF-I Coaching. Chris booked the AFF Pre-Course with us and learned “a whole bunch” during his 3-days training, even though Chris already has 6000 jumps, a Rigger certificate etc. Thanks, Chris for your visit and your positive feedback! It was a pleasure training you and hope to see you again soon!
