    Skydive DeLand

    If you want to do lots of jumps and improve your skills, this is the place to go!!! Many good skydivers and instructors work on this dropzone, this makes it the best place to learn flying. Various different airplanes guearantee enough slots for everybody, and 19$ for the lift is even pretty cheap. Doing AFF or tandem jumps you get support right away. But if you have a licence already and just wanna do some written tests, then you'll have a hard time achieving this goal. If it's not for money, the instrucors won't help you. Another little con is the restaurant. It takes ages to get a simple sub and employees are not nice at all. So if you want to jump and don't like to wait, bring you own lunch!
  2. This dropzone is open all weekends from late spring to early fall and some weeks in summer even during the week. On one side are the Jura mountains on the other flat land and lakes. Nice grass landing area for experienced skydivers, students have to land far away and walk back. Porter takes up to 10 skydivers but is always full. Long waiting times to get a slot are predicted on good days. Sometimes you will only be able to make 2-3 jumps on one day. USPA licence is not valid, you have to have a swiss license or you will be treated as a student.
