Students initially progress within the sport from beginner to complete parachutist via one of two category systems depending on how you make your first jump. Static Line Jumping takes you through a category system from 1 to 10 while AFF takes you through a level system 1 to 8. As you progress you can also qualify for the Federation Aeronautique Internationale licenses A to D.

Look up your local area sky diving academy or center. My step-brother does it alot... Apparently it's addicting, because he's put himself into alot of debt just so he could jump.
It's expensive, just to be warned. You have to rent equipment every time you go, and it adds up really quick. If you plan to make a pretty frequent hobby out of it, I recommend buying your own equipment. If I knew where you lived, I could probably supply you with the name of a local sky diving center... but unfortunately I don't know. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, I pretty much can only tell you to look it up.

You ALWAYS have to progress with sky diving or the sport will end you.
