I chose SSC from the web as the dropzone for my 1st ever jump with another friend as tandem "newbies", on a visit to Florida back in December 2001.
How did it go?..... We both enjoyed the experience so much, by the end of May 2002 we had both rustled up enough cash to be back out there and get ourselves through AFF.
Could write loads about the entire staff and how they instantly made us part of their family.... don't want to embarass though :)
Since then, we are on a plane at every opportunity and back over at SSC to jump at a spectacular location with some of the nicest people we know.
Looking for a cool DZ or want to learn to SkyDive? - This is the place to be. Brilliant location, excellent kit, awesome people....
Worth a 6000 mile round trip from the UK any day.
Enough said really.... :)
(Oh yeah - and as Mel says, lots of girl jumpers too!)
