Latest News - September 2006
Skydive Spain is a successful skydiving centre. We are proud of all our students as they pass through our courses and want to give testimonials of their experiences with us.

We also have many experienced jumpers coming over to visit. Some are here for team training, some for holidays and some want to take part in seasonal boogies.

September 29th - 4-way Training

Many teams come to visit us to team train because it is an ideal location with the right combination of weather, aircraft and manifest. However far fewer teams are actually classed as local teams.

Bego & Manolo were joined by the other half of their team, Angel & Noel, who came down from Madrid for some 4-way training on the 29th & 30th September. They plan to enter the Spanish National Championships this year.
