ah, it's not like a falling faster than normal program. Just an integrated program to get your jump ticket

Diverting a bit from the subject, I wanted to do the simulated indoor sky diving... Is there a facility in Florida that offers this?

Thanks!

I thought about trying out the indoor sky diving place while TDY in Ogden, Ut since there is NO way I would actually jump from a plane, but never had the time. Instead I'm going to have my wife tossed out of a plane at 10K this Saturday.

I know there is one in Orlando. Not sure if there are any others in Florida. I have never done indoor skydiving, but this is the website.

Thanks for that one... Was looking for one more in the South Fl area but this looks very good!

Just did my first jump (tandem) ever in Vegas last week! The ride up was awesome too... It was a Cessna 208 - climbed like a rocket!

I went indoor skydiving last year at Niagara falls, I had already booked my first AFF skydive so just wanted to get the experience. Its really fun, although doesn't seem to last very long when your in there, and if your good the instructor will let go and let you try spinning.

Went to go do my first jump at Grand Bend near the end of June but the clouds were too low for the whole week! So now I'm heading back in a couple weeks to do two jumps, hopefully the weather cooperates this time

I'm hoping to finish all the jumps required to get my skydiving ticket by next year! (Fingers crossed!)
