Skydiving Newbie in Philly...

[somethingwitty]

My friends and I want to go skydiving during the week before graduation, and we're trying to figure out where to go in the philly area...Tandom jump with instructor, prefer higher than 13k feet.

Anyone have advice, sources, know of any skydiving clubs, etc (including certification of the instructor - how does that work?) that could get us started. I googled, but you can imagine that there were a ton of hits and I kinda get the impression that the one we choose is a bit more important than the source chosen when googling for a paper

thanks for any help.

Are there any places that will allow a 17 year old to go skydiving? I turn 18 in september, and want to go skydiving before I go to college. BTW, I live in NY.

I want to go skydiving in NY. Where are good places to go, they are all so expensive. And of course friends don't seem to want to go with you.

I recommend the AFF ( accelerated free fall). You do a solo jump from 13K. The training takes longer plus you jump with 2 jump masters. Airgasm's!!!!!! WooHoo!!!!!!!!!

Edited to add it's worth the extra $$$
