I wouldn't do that if I were you. It doesn't matter if the place is owned by a local or a western reject. It's cambodia. Don't do it. Think about your family.

If you ever travel to norcal, go to lodi. $100 flat. People have died there but it's not significant given the amount of jumps per day. Jumped twice and still alive

A few years ago I was really toying with the idea of skydiving, I had a stroke of genius and decided to google the cheapest skydiving I could find, almost immediately after I realized what a terrible idea that was.
Slow down little world, you're changing too fast.

Shows how little you know about skydiving. By this I do not mean tandem jumping strapped to a jumpmaster but sport skydiving.

A DZ in a rural area like Kampong Channing which has a decent airfield and no light aircraft traffic would be pretty safe, so long as the plane is maintained. Skydivers pack their own chutes and reserves would have to be repacked elsewhere by riggers.

I will wager that your two whole jumps were strapped to someone in a tandem jump. No one skydives properly (jumping out alone and deploying their own chute in freefall) in their first few jumps, you go out on a static line (dope rope), which is parachuting not skydiving.

FWIW I was a skydiver in my 20's, with hundreds of jumps and my own gear.
