I'm planning to go the keys this summer and would love to jump out of a plane.
I've looked at
www.skydivethekeys.com , but was wondering if any of you have done it in they keys. Skydiving, not the other thing.

Not in the Keys, but have done where I live (but that was 20+ years ago)

Let's just hope the 'chute they pack for you works better than the link you provided!

I've skydived a few times, and twice in the Keys (tandem jumps). Here are some photos ......

I used these guys both times for my jumps in the Keys .......

...... and I have nothing but good things to say about their operation. I'd use them again. If you are an experienced jumper, they'll take you up for solo jumps. If you are a beginner, they'll take you up for a tandem jump. They've been in operation for a number of years (my last jump in the Keys was 2001).

That sounds awesome...cool pics, too. I couldn't get the website's pics to show up- so your link helped out.
I reserved a spot for a Saturday afternoon at the end of June. Can't wait!
Thanks for the reply!
