Skydive Deland - Deland, Florida

DeLand Florida is well-known as a global center for the development and manufacture of parachute equipment, as well as training technologies for military and civilian applications. This environment allowed some of the brightest brains in the world to come together and expand on training methods like Accelerated Freefall and Tandem skydiving, both of which were developed and tested right here in DeLand. The DeLand Parachute Industry's anchor business is Skydive DeLand. This industry employs over 600 local individuals in manufacturing, sales, technical, and academic occupations, according to the most recent count.

Countless famous National and World Champions and record holders have called Skydive DeLand home over the years. They created a one-of-a-kind environment to help novices and athletes grow in their training. DeLand became a popular host DZ for many State, National, and World Record-setting formation skydives, starting with the first 72-person formation in 1983.

The Tandem and AFF programs are used to introduce novices to the sport, as well as servicing local and traveling fun jumpers and coaches. Fly4Life warm-up camps and FlightCamps, canopy courses through Flight-1 and Alter Ego, personal coaching through Tribu, wingsuit rentals and coaching through Arcus Flight, and multiple-plane high-altitude formation skydiving competitions are among the events and training programs they offer and support.
