DONT SKYDIVE HERE!! NEVER OFFERS HELP JUST WORRIED ABOUT MAKING MONEY!!
Chris had spoken with Ryan I do not know but think he was in Thatches place as Thatch was not there. A discussion was had and it was decided because I was behind 2 months I should do a debrief and then a static dcrp followed by a 3 sec jump later in that day which i was fine with. At 10:30 I was to jump and was ready by 10 fully geared up. I was in the bar area and the tandem master Bernard gave me a debrief. It was arch 1000, 2000,3000 reach thousand pull thousand check. I did this infront of him he was happy. Then I walked to the packing area and Ryan was standing there and said let me debrief you, he then said to Jacobus who was busy packing parachutes that he wants me on camera to see how i do. Jacobus said to Ryan we dont have any cameras available as one is in for repair and the other is broken. Ryan said its ok Bernard can watch me. Ryan debriefed me arch 1000 2000 reach thousand pull thousand 5000 check, I was then confused so went back to Bernard in the bar area and explained that Ryan had debriefed me differently. Bernard then went to Ryan and they discussed this and told me its ok either way. At the aircraft I asked Bernard to give me a sign when to jump as I always have to put my head into the aircraft to hear exit and then get back into the position that Thatch had tought me before I jump, Bernard said he would tap me on the leg and I agreed. I was hooked up and I checked my static line by pulling it hard and gave Bernard the thumbs up. Only I checked it. I was sitting on my knees at the front by the door with a student facing me he was by the pilot. At 1000ft Bernard told everyone to do their checks. I did mine helmet goggles chin strap nice and tight and tucked away, 3 ring system nice and loose and checked both sides, chest strap not too tight, grabbed both handles and said handle nice and and aligned across from each other then leg straps and dummy cord I forgot to check static line so turned around and battled to grab and tug it, it did not seem that Bernard noticed that I missed checking it until I was pulling it hard and said static line. At 4500ft Bernard said open door which I did with help from someone behind me as I was very far forward in the plane. I was holding the bar, the red light was on and I was looking at the pilot to see when he points to that screen but he didn't and slowed the plane down only slightly not like the other pilot the big guy that I usually am in the plane with that slows down alot and turns slightly to the right. Bernard said get ready so I climbed out and could feel the propwash and wind was very hard compared to my previous 10 jumps and the plane was straight not slowing down or turning to the right. I was waiting for him to tap me but he didn't so I looked into the plane slightly and the pilot was yelling at Bernard and swinging his arm with his thumb out to show something to the back. I was suddenly grabbed and pulled back into the aircraft they were still yelling something to eachother I could not hear because of the wind. I was sitting down still holding onto the bar and looking at Bernard. He then told me again get ready so again I exited the aircraft in the position Thatch tought me then felt 2 hard taps on the left leg side on my calf and jumped. Jacobus had asked me to please not land too far as they are short of parachutes, I was disorrientated as I had exited the plane very hard because of the speed so I messed up my landing pattern and done a turn last minute to land against the wind. Jacobus came to me and we took the rig off straight away so he could pack it quickly. Ryan said to me we need to chat about my landing and explained how dangerous it was ect. I knew Bernard was very busy so I asked him to please debrief me when he gets a chance Im not in a hurry. I went to the restaurant to get us some food and when I returned my book was filled in by Ryan and Bernard. Ryan asked me what the 3 priorities of landing are: Flat wing open area Flare and hold Preferably into wind I was not tought this in this order with Johan on my first course he tought me to pretend the windsock was a carrot you eat it from the small side same as you come in to land your parachute, and of course he did teach us to flare and hold and land in an open area but not in the order above. I was starting to eat my lunch and Ryan walked past I saw my passport was filled in and asked him when I would be able to be debriefed by Bernard he looked at me while walking in and said to me angrily (you just opened the door and jumped out by yourself) which is not true, I was angry so I packed up my lunch and left. This is my complaint and I would like a response as soon as possible. This email was sent Mon, 26 Dec 2022, 08:53 and to date, no answers or even an apology for what happened was made.

Simply the best
What an absolutely amazing experience. I have never met such a nice bunch of people that are so professional. My daughter, 12 was so well informed and we just had a blast. I cannot recommend these people highly enough. Thank you, Chris and the team. If you ever feel like giving this a try, you cannot go wrong with this team!

Skydive Parys - AWESOME experience. Fantastic Team!
I want to thank the team at Skydive Parys from the bottom of my heart for making my first tandem skydive one of the best moments of my life. They were professional, extremely safety conscious, highly s****ed and made every second fun. Special thanks to Corne for truly making my experience awesome and fun. I felt completely safe (though terrified?). You made me laugh the entire time. I was very impressed with your attention to detail and safety. Thanks to Callie for the ground training and for explaining what to expect in detail. Thanks to Bernard for being an amazing outside camera man. You made me feel at ease, loved your sense of humor -I would recommend you to all and everyone. Amazing pictures from Corne and Bernard... I love my video! Thanks to the video editing, Ariel.. I love bragging with it.. The guys truly captured the absolute exhilaration I experienced? thanks to the parachute packers and to Glynis... Thanks to the pilot. Could not have done it without you ? The entire Skydive Parys Team roc**** I am dragging everyone With me next time to try it as well...if you haven't tried this....you haven't lived. Lots of love Hanlie
