Several years ago I had the opportunity to jump with the group into the 50th anniversary celebration held at the San Isidro Base. Great guy that runs the place and is in with the "special forces" group at the base. As for the cost, I would expect a slightly higher price than you are accustomed to. They cater to those who wish to do a tandem jump and not the experienced skydiver. The tandems will be higher priority and you might have to wait. The last time I tried to make a jump there was about 2 ro 3 years ago and they were having problems getting gas for the plane. I believe they had to fly somewhere else and fuel up and I didn't have the time to wait around. I had brough all my gear from the states with me at the time so it was a waste.

Good luck and hope you get to jump. Beach landings are awesome especially at sunset.
