    Went here once and that was it.First the staff was not very friendly.Second it takes awhile to jump if they have no tandem jumpers.This place is only for the tandem jumpers.They only take the tandems up to 18k.They even make the tandem jumpers wait almost all day to jump.They want to fill the airplane with as much tandems as they can.This may not be true but this is the way I saw it. The jumpmasters are to elite to help.I asked a jump master for a pin check.He told me to ask someone else.He said he was sorry he was busy with a tandem.Funny thing the tandem was still in the classroom.He was not in a rush he had plenty of time to check the gear that i rented from his DZ.I got alittle mad.So i went to the owner Greg and told him.He told me that i should know if my gear is good or not.All i wanted was a pin check.This place i belive is for the regulars who jump here.I did not feel at home here.The gear they rent could use some major upgrades.Also the pilot who flew us was playing around in the airplane.To me that kind of stuff is dangerous.It was just a fun joke for us but still.Anything can happen if your not safe.If you jump here be careful.Use and trust your traing.
  2. Hello folks thank you for reading my review.I live in Jax my name is Tom.Once you get to the office You have to buy your jump tickets.This is my only pro in the review it has great ac the office.Then you have to drive into the Airport on pot hole roads to the drop zone.Thats if someone comes to the airport gate to let you in.Dont drive your pristine car to this DZ.See they have a tent set up inside herlong airport some distance away from the office.No bathrooms however this DZ helps you become more close with nature hope you like going into the woods.The summers can be hot.No water bring your own.They fly a small cesna that can only reach 10k.Takes all day to jump unless they have alot of tandems.Greg is the owner, he also runs the worlds highest jumps out at the DZ past deland i think its called space coast near kendedy.Back a few years ago they had a larger aircraft here in jax. This DZ is a huge safety hazard.Stay away from the rental gear.If you do rent check the reserve to seen when it was last packed.I rented gear and the reserve had not been packed in 2 months past the expire date..I also had a nice textbook horseshoe with their student V2 230 years back.I would have no hard feelings about this DZ.If the made major improvments.Drive out to palatka or maybe deland. Would not recommend any DZ's by this owner.
