    Skydive Miami

    I have been to DZ's all over the country and this was the most unpleasant skydiving experience during my time skydiving. If you are not in the local click, than I would not plan on getting anyone to jump with. The aircraft is adequate, but during my 4 visits they did not put up one back to back load even though there was a full load of jumpers waiting. excessive times between loads. The organizer Fred's judgement is suspect. I was a solo freeflyer and Fred put me out between a 4 way RW and a 2 way RW. I thought that due to my speed, I would exit first. He overruled me and after the jump I watched the RW video and saw myself scream past them at a less than acceptable distance. I questioned Fred and suggested that due to the drift of the RW teams that I exit first and he told me that he was the organizer and has much more local experience and that is the way we do things here. In good conscience I cannot recommend this DZ, especially for new jumpers. The unfriendly atmosphere could turn a new jumper away from this sport. There are several other much more freindly DZ's in the area that are safer and better organized. Stay away from this one.
