[HIDGAF84 0]

How many non-USPA DZ's are there and where are they?

Thanks!

Me too..

West TN Skydiving, although the DZO is a USPA national director. His dz is not USPA. Nice place though, I've jumped there quite a few times.

Atlanta Skydiving Center (ASC) lost their USPA membership for unorthodox business practices.

I'm sure there are more.

Two that come to mind off the top of my head on the west coast are The Parachute Center in Lodi and Northwest Skydivers up here in Washington. Both DZs are great to jump at (and in both cases you get to spook the drivers on a highway that runs right next to the landing area!).

Edit to add: Of course there's a whole bunch worldwide.

I wish I lived in Lodi, how can you say no to $15 jumps, $13 in bulk and $5 H&P's

Skydive Greene County in Xenia Ohio isn't a member. Neither is Top Fun Skydiving and a few others locally.

What about on the east coast. I heard skydive Maryland wasn't a USPA DZ.

Now being a non USPA DZ, you can skydive without a USPA license correct?

Depends on the DZ. Many will still require a license (from USPA, or the governing body in the jumper's home country). The DZs have just chosen not to become USPA group members.

Lodi is one I know of that doesn't check anything. Show up, pay your money, and jump.

That's up to the DZO. The only non-uspa DZ I've been to required USPA membership to jump there. The DZO at that DZ didn't see the benefit of group membership, but wanted all jumpers to have USPA insurance and licenses.
