in Norway they mostly say 100kg for tandem, but i know that's no absolute, youll have to discussit with the guy youre doing the tandem with, i think it has to do with his skills, and what landingconditions they have at the dropzone, and what wingload ( canopy to wheight of the jumpers ratio) . if you want to do a skydiving- course i think you can weigh well over 100kg as long as they have a good canopy for you and you are otherwise healthy.

Typically most parachute centres offer jumps up to around 13,000ft. A few go higher such as Skydive Hibaldstow where I jump which goes to 15,000ft. Above that and you need oxygen systems. Some dropzones do offer specialist high altitude skydiving events where you can jump up to 25,000ft. These are mostly located in the USA.
On the other side of the coin are small tandem skydiving operations which only offer jumps from tiny Cessna aircraft from 10,000ft.
The world record is held by Col Joe Kittinger who jumped from 102,800ft in the 1960's using a helium gondoler and a space suit. Attempts have been made recently to better this, but none have been successful as yet.
Depends on the Jump Station, It can host up to 3 people in the place is set to such number of jumpers at once.
Its really more fun and safer for 1 jumper at a time.
Millions of skydives are recorded every year around the world. Currently the United States Parachute Association has around 30,000 active members.
