    So...

    thinking of learning to skydive, i know the freefall course costs just over 1K but i'm not sure how it works after that.

    Can you just rock up when the sun is out and go jump? If so, how much does it cost? How much is all the gear?

    Once you have done the course its €15 to 4000 feet and €25 per jump from 13000 feet , + €15 for gear hire .
    You get €7 back if you pack it yourself after , its easy to pack , takes <15 minutes .

    No Shannon is probably just the nearest convenient met station. Both the main sites are in Offaly although Skydive Ireland used to jump near Nenagh but they're in Birr now which is probably closest to Shannon.

    Mind you the way Shannon is going it might make a great skydive centre for someone one day;)
