    Tourist rate as in higher fee for those who are out of state (and didn't pay taxes toward the property already)? Interesting idea

    From what I've seen, $150-200+ is the going rate.

    Per jump or tandem?! I believe Skydive Deland charges $23 per jump.

    Can you not understand that we are not talking about establishing a price to dive wakulla? Also, if Florida had an income tax i might agree with you but it does not and a "Florida" taxpayer is anyone that pays sales taxes...tourists pay them as well, just like you.

    Oh, when i was active as a jumpmaster i put people out on a static line...6 or so of those then hop and pops and then into delays. Those were the days...quit when i went to graduate school and then never got back in. I did work for a while in pepperell ma flying jumpers and towing gliders. I can see that price for a tandem from altitude.

    I dont think you should present anything other than how many people it would bring to the area, and get the chamber of commerce and things like Visit FL to help on this. If you were willing I would like to help to deal with the county, chamber, the restaurants and hotels in the area. they are all about eco tourism.
