yea that'd be my other question. why are there such differences in the prices? if all of these DZ's are equivalently good places to jump why wouldn't people just mostly go to the cheapest one, which would be Lodi I suppose. I am assuming all of these places have the same safety standards, so what else is making the difference in the prices?

cool, it's nice to know I've got many choices and they're all good. besides the jump itself, is there any particular one that'd offer a more pleasant experience if I were bringing a group of friends for the first time? (i.e. scenic plane ride, interesting canopy flight, etc)

hey, I'm in Palo Alto and am planning to get together a few friends to do a first jump. I looked up a few dropzones around the area (Bryon seems to be the closest). but I'd like to get some first hand opinions on them if any of you jump around here. which ones would be good for a fun first tandem jump. and which ones would be good if I want to continue with getting certified and such? thanks much, KR

do you get the same kind of license if you learned it through static line or AFF? and is the license you get valid everywhere in the world I looked at the program cost in those drop zones mentioned above and there some pretty big differences, what's that all about?

yea I guess colleges don't like to sponsor skydiving. my dorm was going to arrange a skydiving trip and then the housing people found out and wouldn't let us do it. thanks for the suggestions I'll check out those dropzones. and yea I'm at stanford

my school doens't seem to have one, I was wondering if anybody know if there's a college near by that has a skydiving club that I can join? I'm in Palo Alto I'm interested in getting licensed, is there a particular place around here you guys would suggest I go? thanks
