Skydive DeLand - Training Capital of the World
23 months ago
Supposedly, the little town of DeLand, FL, halfway between Daytona Beach and Orlando, is the skydiving training capital of the world. That’s where I skydived (2 weeks before college graduation!) and it was pretty much amazing – although, from what I’ve heard, it’s more expensive there than other places. Get other people to go with you because they have a group discount for 5 or more people.
My favorite phrase as told to me by a seasoned skydiver – “Whafo” – the name for people who stand on the ground and say “Wha’ fo’ you jump out of a perfectly good airplane?” :-)
