I concur, reaper does run a tight ship. I never jumped with him but I financed a few wanna finance another?

Hurt? Uh, yep!
Reaper is a class act! Jumped in 2008 and it was awesome! You can get trip insurance that specifically covers this activity. Highly recommended. the jump or the insurance ?  rhetorical question, I already know your answer!!

I must say that watching the jumpers come down in Feb 2009 was a real thrill. The plane is way off in the distance - barely hear or see it. Then, colorful bodies/chutes float down from the sky - almost no sound, it's exciting and eerie at the same time. They land with the biggest smiles on their faces that I ever have seen. Like little kids, they want to go back on the boat, back to the airstrip to do it all again. A site to see - one you shouldn't miss. Now if you are game, physically and financial able, taking the leap must be nirvana

Oh it is. The biggest rush of my life.
I love hanging at Coco Locos, reading a book, and taking a break every so often to get another Belikin, greet good friends, and watch the next sortie of skydivers make their landing. Back to my book, lather, rinse, repeat. Makes for a great day!
I will have a Belikin -- put it on klcman's tab.

Rush isn't the word. From sitting in the plane while it spirals up to 13,000 ft. to the moment my feet touched terra firma it was exhilaration beyond compare. I can still remember looking over at Dita (my jump mate) and while wondering what the FK I was doing… give her the "thumbs up sign" and deciding not to wimp out, but to go for it. I cannot tell you how happy I was that I did! As much as I love seeing the reef on the flight from Belize City to Ambergris Caye this had to be the most beautiful un-obstructive view that I have ever had the pleasure to observe. And God willing, in another year, I will be able to do it again. My forever thanks to Reaper for making this possible for me.

we live behind coco locos each winter and have seen hundreds of jumps every year and have met no one who disrespects our property or the sport here. Reaper runs a great program and we have met alot of good people, we are in position Reaper...come on down.
