Even in orbit astronauts are not experiencing zero gravity, really they are in free fall. The net force is equal to zero, but gravity is still there. The only way to experience true zero gravity would be to go into deep space, far far away from any celestial bodies. Ajo, drop a stone in the water. What happens?

An aircraft can travel downward in a graduated dive at the same speed as a freefalling person. This is used by NASA to acquaint astronauts and candidates for the space program. The flight is called the "Vomit Comet".Even though the plane is still around you, its not so much 0G as it is a synchronized fall...without the parachute.
For Training with the spacewalk hardware huge tanks are filled with water to simulate zero G, but it is limited. The water resistance is hell on speedy movement.

its not possible, unless you can tunnel to the center of the earth. whether you jump off a building, float in water, take a dive in an airplane, you might be simulating what zero g is like, but it is not zero gravity created artificially.

You can buy a JML Antigrav Pad (they come in packs of two, but batteries aren't included). Each pad takes two AA batteries and lasts about an hour. Depending on your weight, you may be able to be weighless with about ten of these underneith you. The JML Antigrav Pads are available from Woolworths, Poundstretcher and Wilkinsons and cost $19.99 for each pack of two.
While you are there, why not buy a JML Bullturd Detector. Only £8.99!

Every flying object (birds, planes, etc) fly by creating zero gravity all the time by making the lift force equal to drag (gravitational) force.

zero gravity in a way is when the body experinces wewightlessness. that is there is no wieght to that body. one can do this by freely falling from a height. like jumping of a plane, cliff, mountian.

ET tech
These things that look like nest cones that wobble near each other will create anti-gravity
Or maybe I'm just free fallin'

underwater the gravity is 0

By travelling downwards very fast in a plane (hopefully with a very good pilot in charge!)

Jump out of plane or get in one of those NASA plane that dive straight down.
