Skydiver in Bermuda Looking to Jump

[caffeine 0]

Hi, I took up skydiving about a year ago, back in the UK. I'm now living in Bermuda and am looking for places 'close' by where i can go and jump.

Wassup Caffeine,

Define 'close by'. Which time of year? Winter, spring summer or fall?
I live in Bermuda, and am planning a trip to Florida in a couple of weeks. If it was warmer, I would visit Crosskeys, NJ. This spring I will probably broaden my horizons and visit a few of the east coast DZ's.
Also, click on the dropzones link in the header and read some of the reviews.

Hey Nemo

so no chance of jumping anywhere on the island then eh? I didn't think there would be.
looking to get away sometime during december, I've had a look at the dropzones link and guess i could get a flight from here to miami and go from there?

There are probably more skydivers on the island (or at least skydivers there on vacation)...are there any outright bans on skydiving in Bermuda, or is it just that there isn't a DZ? If permits/permission/whatever could be had from the government, perhaps you could find a Cessna pilot with the proper rating willing to take up a few jumpers on a weekend for pay. In the old days of skydiving (so I've been told), skydivers without a DZ would just go to a small airport and someone would take them for a one-way ride. I don't remember if there is only the one airport there or not.
