Thinking of doing the aff course, but my concerns are...
Now is not the time to be cheap, so if i were to buy my own chute thats a respectable and very reliable brand, how much am i looking to spend?
What type of maintenance do these chutes require? Obviously if something tears or breaks, i fix it immediately, but do they require some type of annual overhaul?
I think the reserve must be packed by an official packer, right?
Is renting for each dive a better idea if i only plan to jump once a month at most? Assuming i dont become addicted to the rush.
Basically, im looking for unseen costs after paying for the course and equipment cause paying $25/jump seems like a bargain!
