| So I just checked bungy jumping off my list this last weekend and now I'm ready to step it up. I'm having problems finding any information on any businesses or groups who provide the service. If anybody could help me with any information it would be very much appreciated. Thanks |

AFAIK, there is no such skydiving company in Korea. I've been told the only way to do so is to be in the Army.
I used to jump with SWOOP back home, so I've been looking for places here to continue, but so far I haven't found anything. |

| I used to jump with Blue Sky Skydiving in Washington State, strictly novice type stuff. However, I did earn an A license way back in 1995. I haven't jumped in 10 years but would love to take it up again. I don't even have my logbook... Anyway, there's nothing quite like freefall or seeing the world from under canopy. I hope you find what you're looking for. |

| You can definitely skydive here....A buddy jumped 2 weeks ago. I dont know the details though, sorry. Pretty sure he said that there are only a few weekends a year that they jump. |

I'd love to do some jumping here -- preferably on Jeju-do. I've jumped in Arizona before and it was great; I'd love to continue that here.
Hmm. . . maybe we could get a bunch of Dave's skydivers for a jump? |

I've been poited to there before, but I've been told they don't do skydives there. It is strictly parachuting (ie. no freefall).
I don't want parachuting. Paragliding and parasailing are better if I wanted to compare similar experiences. I want the freefall, though. |

I was told you coulf parachute in Pusan and outside of Seoul. BUt it is very expensive.
Paragliding in KOrea is fun and exciting. You don't have the free fall, but you can stay up for 30 minutes or more. I have seen some guys flying about 7,000 or 8,000 ft up. |
