[Nimitz88 0]

hi everyone very nice forum you have here and hopefully you can help me....

i'll be turning 17 in about 2 months. and wanted to do something big....my dad and myself wanted to go on a tandem sky dive.

thing is i'll only be 17 and from what ive read everywhere you have to be 18....

is there anyway a 17 year old can skydive in the state of FL?

btw i weigh nearly 210lb's is this a problem? im not in bad shape just a big guy 6ft 4in....

but i read that anyone over 200lbs may not beable to jump depending on the DZ...

would like any and all input from all of you.

Thanks

Chad

Welcome to dz.com!

You should call the local dropzone where you would want to do the skydive. All dropzones have their own rules regarding weight limits, and some will allow people over 16 to jump w/ parental consent.

If you aren't sure which dropzone you are going to, click on DROPZONES in the menu bar above and use the new dropzone locator!

Welcome, and have fun!

Hi Chad,

welcome to the forums.

to find out which DZ would be closer, check the awesome dropzone locater like that your search will be more precise as there are many DZ's in Florida.

Hope you will find your pleasure. Enjoy it, and don't forget to get a video of it

HI Chad! PM me if you want to know where you can jump if your 16 and weight less than 235 lbs, not in Fl. but still in the southern states.
