Hey guys!
I was born and raised in Key West, Fl but now go to school in Gainesville, Fl. I am planning on taking my first jump in January with my best friend. I have always wanted to skydive but now I am looking into statistics and stuff and even though its not enough to deter me there def are some scary deaths for first time tandem jumpers! It totally worth it though right? Thanks!

Welcome to the Forums! It is nice to meet another person born and raised in FL. I was born and raised in Ft. Lauderdale/Miami (I spent alot of time in both).

Try skydive Deland, Skydive Miami, Lake Wales, there are a slew of places in FL. Skymama will say "come to Deland"!

What part of Miami are you from? I know quite a few people from the Miami, Ft. Laud, Boca, Westin area...Where in Florida did you skydive?

Welcome to the forums! But, I always support our surrounding dz's also, they're all good. Besides Deland, you can also go to Palatka, Jacksonville, or Zephyrhills too.
