I called SKYDIVE JACKSONVILLE on a beautiful Saturday at about 5 p.m. to get a couple late afternoon lifts in, to my surprise the lady on the phone told me they were closed which immediately made me think something was up. I asked what time they opened and she told me 11 a.m. would I like to make a reservation. As soon as I told her that I already had my license she said that they do not allow fun jumpers on their DZ. I told her that their website welcomed them and she said she knew it said that but it was wrong info. I asked how long ago they stopped and why, she told me there was an incident between a skydiver and "airport authorities" but she would not tell me how long ago it was. I asked if she could recommend another location and she said no. How bogus is that? The vibe I got from this lady gives Skydiving a horrible name and I would NEVER recommend them to another jumper, experienced or not. Such a let down.
