zhills is a full service dz. there are adequate shower facilities to accomodate anyone that plans to stay there for months at a time. camping is great. RV rental is available. there's a snack bar which serves breakfast, daily lunch specials, and dinner on occasion. there's a fully stocked beer bar with my favorite bartender. there is a rigging loft onsite with outstanding riggers, the owner of which is a current RW world champion. world reknown videographers. the student program is outstanding. AFF instructors AND AFF examiner onsite. the tunnel is close. the coaches are great. the organizers are plentiful. there are organizers for every level of skydiving and most are free. the skydiving is FUN. the dz houses 3 super otters in the winter, 1 in the summer. we have a helo alot of the time. the landing area is HUGE. there's almost always a bonfire. there are team rooms and a creeper pad. the only reason i "dinged" the location is because it's in the country...but hey, alot of people like that so it's not really that bad. :) it's a 40 minute drive to tampa int'l airport and 70 minute drive to orlando int'l airport. the people are very down to earth. did i say the skydives are fun? the people are close, but not cliquish. you'll leave with alot more friends than you started with. and...it's the home of the muff brothers and a resident hellfish or two. fireworks on most occasions...BIG fireworks. fun fundraising. community involvement. the DZM donates platelets every two weeks. people are always willing to help. it doesn't get much better than that. i think i covered most everything. ;) enjoy.
