Just a line to thank you all for a fabulous experience and for nursing me through AFF. It is hard to find the words to describe how much you all contributed to our holiday and to our lives. A special thanks to Mark for his patience and encouragement, my graduation is down to him and Rob. Also thanks to Mick who's positive words lifted my self belief. You are a wonderful team and we'll be back next year to annoy you some more!! Thanks you all so very very much Rick & Jill Bruce

Dear Gill, I'm sorry it has taken a whole week to write but as usual I was thrown in the deep end the second I got through the door. I am writing to say thankyou for all your help in making our trip such a success. We both had a fantastic time, and we are already planning our first jumps over here. Please extend our gratitude to Mick and the rest of the team as well. They all made us feel very welcome and we really had a great time. We are planning to surface again just before Christmas, and I for one have plenty of time free at the beginning of next year, so I hope to arrange a repeat visit around that time. Thanks again for everything, Take care, Rob

Hey Gill, Mik and all the guys Miss you all very much! Got to say a big thank you to you all. Special thanks to Mik, for persevering with me. Uwe and Ian great instructors. Rob cool camera work and not forgetting Jonno for all the extra height he gave us after our many nights of staying up till the early hours. I had a fantastic time and I am definitely not done - I will be jumping again very soon. Thanks Gill for making me feel very welcome, will see you all again very soon. Loads of love to everyone Sara (aka Bobby)

Hi Mik, its Angie Wayt here. i just wanted to drop u a wee email to thank u and the rest of the team for a wonderful couple of weeks. i am so so glad that Buddy talked me into coming to sebastian in the 1st place - even tho it did take me a couple of days of watching everyone skydiving b 4 i plucked up enough courage to take the plunge!!! anyway - it was one of the best decisions i could have made, and i still cant believe it when i sit down and watch the video that rob took of me. We all had a magic time mik, and u and the rest of the guys should get a medal for the patience u showed me with regard to all my questions.......a big thanku to Ian especially - i think that 1st day of ground school nearly put him in therapy!! please pass on my love to everyone. Just let the guys know that it ain't time to pack away the duck tape for my mouth just yet.....i may return sooner rather than later. much love to u and Gill - take care and many thanks again to all of u for giving me the time of my life. angie xx.

Gill & Mick and all at Freefall Adventures, Just a quickie to say what a great time I had in Florida and a fantastic time completing my FS1! Rob is a great instructor and his methods obviously worked with me ! I am trying not to bore my work colleagues talking about skydiving all the time...but it is hard once you have 'seen the light'!! Thanks once again all and I will be in touch about October. Amanda AKA Goosey

Mik, Greatly appreciate your time today. Thanks for all the information as well as bringing me back up to speed on a sport I really loved...and miss. Things have really changed with the instruction since I first jumped. Our course was $130, including ground school and the first 5 static jumps. That's what 28 years will do. Seems like yall have a real tight, professional operation...with safety first. Excellent!! I was very impressed with the DZ. Again, thanks for your courtesy and time. Sincerely, David Campbell, Jr. Vero Beach

Just want to thank everyone for all your help, good vibes and patience in getting me through AFF and FS1. What a fantastic bunch, hope to see you all again soon :) Simon Walton

Mick/Gill and all the instructors, Many many thanks from Jonathan and Peter for a great time and all your hard work. We both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and with any luck you might see us again!! Peter Read

Hiya Gill, Just a quick email to say thanks for the good times on the AFF course. Steve and I had a great time and I'm already iching to get more jumps in once I get out of Kosovo and back to the UK. Please send my regards to all the lads and lasses, please pass on to Mark that he was right Miami was great, and once again thanks for the hospitality and great times. I hope to see you all again in the not too distant future. Chris Regan

Hey, thanks for a great time on our tandem jump!! Waren, thanks for jumping with me and u did a great job. I wish i could have a job like u have! We will be back in the summer Love ya all, bye Heather

Hi All, Im sorry this is late coming but i just wanted to say a big thankyou to everyone who made my AFF experience so amazing. Obviously thanks to Mik and Gill for running such an efficient and proffesional operation while still being able to create such a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Thanks to Christine [and Stranger] for the ground school, Mark and Warren for levels 1-3 [and Warrens drunken fashion advice :) ] and of course Patrick for levels 4-8. I had an absolutley fantastic time my only regret is that i had to come home. My A license was accepted at Headcorn and as soon as the crappy English weather gets better i hope to start WARP. Thanks again Andy

Gill / Mik Please can you pass on my thanks to Christine, Ian, Patrick, Mark, Owe and Warren for helping me to obtain both my AFF and FS1 during my time in Sebastian over Xmas and New Year. The weather on last day of my trip wasn't great and as such I never got the chance to say thank you and goodbye to them all. They were all fantastic and I hope that now that I am back home in the cold winter weather I will get the chance to put these new skills to good use as some point. Again many thanks and stay happy and healthy, Best wishes Jane. X

Mick and The Crew, Just wanted to pass along a hearty thanks for your hospitality and a wonderful time while I was down for my AFF. Currently being complete with level-3 and having spent ten minutes at the wind tunnel in Orlando, I am looking forward to level-4! I am going to try to free up a week in January so I may finish the course; weather permitting. Please pass along a sincere thank you to your crew for their professionalism and attention to detail during the course of my instruction. I look forward to seeing all of you again in the new year. Have a Merry Christmas and a great New Years -Cheers! TC Shutler

A massive thank you to everyone who made my time at Sebastian one to remember, and sorry I didn't get to say goodbye to all of you. And to anyone who's thinking of going to F.F Adventures - don't think - do it!. All the best. Jonny.

Tragically, I am back behind my desk wondering when I will actually start doing some work. Physically I am afraid to say I am actually here but in every other sense I am very much back in Sebastian, hurtling towards the ground at terminal velocity sporting an inane grin whilst checking my altimeter every few seconds. Personally speaking, although I know Mike concurs from his first and recent visit, I was very much surprised by my experience in Sebastian. The attitude and commitment shown by all involved at the school was truly impressive - you already know Mike was under your supervision and primarily my instruction was from Warren, although the ever amusing Patrick assumed much of the subsequent responsibility. (Patrick, remember that babies don't skydive so go easy on little JP). Uwe, Scott, Christine, John and last but by no means the least, yourself, were also involved with helping me through the AFF training. Every single one of you showed immense professionalism,thoroughness, interest and enthusiasm. (Gill, Mike says thanks for your assistance in planning the trip as well). With so many people passing through the school I expect it is easy to slip into a situation were students and visitors alike are treated like a commodity but Freefall Adventures greatest asset is their ability to make each and every person feel included. I thoroughly intend to return when the bank manager allows it. Our thanks also go to Dave, Jason and Susie for packing our rigs so obviously well (I'm still here, aren't I?) and to Wendy and Tiffany for their ability to melt my credit card. Thank the dogs also for assisting with nerve control before each jump. Keith, when I got back I weighed myself and you'll be pleased to hear I'm two pounds heavier. God knows how because I've never spent so much time in the toilet before. I guess adrenaline plays havoc on ones' constitution...... Thank you all for making the last two weeks a truly memorable experience - skydiving is an unbelievably exhilarating sport and one that I thoroughly enjoyed. I have added it to my list of sporting interests (although in my case 'earth hurtling' is a more appropriate description than 'sky diving') and Mike & I intend on going up again when Ross and Ellie get back from Peru. We both look forward to returning to Sebastian again soon. Yours, Richard Masters & Mike Denning Oh, and Mick, Miami was every bit as colourful as we had hoped!

Hi Gill I just wanted to thank you again - I had a fantastic time! Please pass on my regards to any of the instructors I didn't get a chance to thank before I left. I hope to see you all again in the not too distant future. All the best Nathan West

Gill and Mick Thanks for a fab 2 weeks in Sebastian. The family and the office have already seen the videos and photos so you may have a few more takers in future. A colleague suggested that the backing music for the video ought to be "It's Raining Men" (recently by Geri Halliwell.) I had such a brilliant time - the course was excellent and the instructors awesome (special thanks to Uwe, Steve and Christine who took me through most of my instruction). It was the perfect antidote to the city to hang out with the gang at the DZ. I hope to catch up with you guys in the Spring. Blue Skies. Will Foster-Kemp

Greetings Gill! It was a pleasure to have met you! My sky diving experience was excellent! My instructor for the AFF class was Patrick. Patrick's display of professionalism, enthusiasm, and humor was key to my excellent sky diving experience as well as a credit to his superior teaching talent. My jump master, Warren, provided my with a positive role model of confidence that aided me in combating my nerves. Thank you for a memorable day. Regards, Bob Tremayne

Hey everybody! It's Taff, Rakster and the Tude here, and we want to say thanks very much to everybody at the DZ, we're not very good with words so this will probably sound bad but we'll have a go. Everyone we met was awesome, normally when you go places there are one or two undesirables and you just accept that as part of life, but hand on heart we encountered none of that during our stay with you guys! Thanks for opening our eyes and we hope to see you all again soon! We can't say thanks to anybody specifically because everybody was so friendly and helpful. All the girls look nice too!! Taff

Hey you beautiful people! Just completed my third tandem jump and it just gets better every time. If I didn't have a business to run I'd sign up now for the AFF course but I'll be back .... wish I'd started doing this when I was 20 years younger - could have been making a living out of it now. A first class service all round - and thank god everyone has a sense of humor! See ya soon. Claire Robertson-Bruce

D ear Sebastian Skydive I felt I had to write and thank you all for such a great holiday. I came to Florida to do my AFF as I had heard that Sebastian had a particularly good reputation. I am so pleased to say that I was not let down at all. In fact, I was totally impressed and have been telling everybody about you. The staff were very friendly which gave the drop zone a really nice family feel about it. All the instructors where of a very high standard and always ready to help. The drop zone was efficient and professional. I will most defiantly be returning to your drop zone as soon as I have cleared my debts from my resent excursion when I completed my AFF :-/ I would like to give a special thanks to Gill and Mick. Gill, because she was very professional when it came to feed back from my emails and was so friendly and helpful I didn't want to go anywhere else. Mick, I also would like to thank as he was always cool, calm and relaxed about the way he organised the day to day goings on and within his instruction while doing my AFF. One last very special thank you must go out to my AFF instructor. I can not thank this person enough as I felt safe and completely instructed in my basics and all the follow up jumps. Christine, you have been a extreme inspiration and I will never forget our lessons. You always made them fun but most of all, very clear on what had to be done. Thanks so much for all your support. I can't wait to come back and see you all again. Thanks for everything :-) Steve Langley Grey skies-UK
