If you are looking to skydive and you are in the States, you might want to check out SkyDiving.com as they offer nationwide reservations for skydiving lessons.

I will have to hold off on my first skydiving lesson but it’s good to know that you can learn to fly air. (or even really let yourself go if you get one of those batman-like wingsuits)

Check out some of the stages of lessons you can expect:
