First of all I want to say thank you to everyone I met and jumped with last Sunday. After a lay off from skydiving for over 6 months I really wasn't too interested in jumping anymore. I came from a club DZ and had jumped there pretty much for the last 6 years. After moving to Florida I found it rather hard to get motivated again to jump without knowing people. I visited a few dz's in the area and just really didn't feel welcome and didn't feel the vibe at all. I finally got convinced to come out to Clewiston by a fellow DZ.commer and am glad I did. I really feel the DZ, jumpers, owners (Lisa and Rick) did an outstanding job at welcoming a new skydiver to their dropzone. All their jumpers, staff, students etc were friendly and treated me as one of them from the get go unlike some dz's that have their clicks and groups. After jumping I was invited to dinner with the staff and hung around the DZ while they closed up and enjoyed a cold one. All in all I'm very pleased to have finally found a new home DZ where I feel welcome and the staff is professional and facilities well kept. They have the Pac every other weekend and an Otter starting in Nov so def come and check them out! Thanks again everyone for bringing me back into the sport.
