Go to USPA.org and look for member drop zones. There are two within spitting distance of you. They are both flying Cessnas, which means the altitude won't be as high, it will be more cramped and it will take alot longer to get to altitude. Within 150 miles there are two good drop zones (In my order of preference) Skydive Monroe in Monroe GA or Skydive the Farm at Rockmart; both of them have turbine aircraft which is a much better experience. Call them and tell them you want to make a tandem. Cost around 200-250 with video (and yes you want the video); you'll get the entire experience, and training doesn't take more than 15 minutes because you are going with an instructor who is gonna pull even if you freak out. I like Monroe GA best nice people good staff and turbine. Let me know if you decide to try it!
