CP1010 0 #1 March 9, 2010 Hey, I'm new to this forum and am trying to get into this sport. I'm 5'11" and weigh 275lbs. I'm by no means a fat 275. I'm in fairly good shape, but I can't seem to find anywhere in FL that will teach me to skydive because of my weight. Is there a place anyone knows of that is willing to teach me? Thanks for your help! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites BillyVance 34 #2 March 9, 2010 There has been a number of threads on this issue by people in the same boat as you.

It's a matter of safety. Unless you are willing to spend the big bucks and get a modified tandem rig and find some one willing to work with that.
