I had my first tandem there in 2004. Do to the overwhelming sense of support and belonging I went back did AFF, got my A and B license there. I have sense moved away. There are numerous closer DZ's that I've jumped around my house. It's well worth the 6 hour drive to get there. If you want to learn something, GO HERE! If you need a place to stay at night, GO HERE!It's free, you'll hang out with hilarous folks, and wake up with the beautiful smell of a dz. It's just a home for skydivers! Also, the prices are very fair. They don't cheat you out of altitude. I've jumped at ASC's sister DZ in Pell City, AL and they were nice folks but overpriced for the altitude. Also, the safety measures at Cullman are little more by the book.

My husband and I went there this past weekend. I have 100 jumps including several bigways, and a B license. My husband has an A license but only 30 jumps. We drove an hour out of our way to find this place and when we got there, I felt like they discriminated against him, even though he's a licensed jumper. I understand being weary of a new jumper but I still feel like they should have let us do our 2way Belly. My husband rented his gear from them and I offered to pack for him. They cited that for that reason they wouldn't let him jump because it showed he was too inexperienced! They were nice folks, but my warning stands that if you're a new jumper DO NOT make your way there.
