That depends on which country you live in. The best way to find out where to skydive is to look for you National skydiving association. For example in the UK, its the British Parachute Association. They hold a list of all parachuting centres (also known as dropzones).

Another way is to use a search engine and type your location, for example 'skydiving Yorkshire'. The vast majority of dropzones have websites and they should appear when you search.

If you are looking to do just a single skydive, it is recommended to do a tandem skydiving jump as your first. This is where you are harnessed to an experienced instructor and you can experience freefall for up to a minute.

Edit:

I would add that the first jump method is not "recommended." True, the vast majority of first jumps are done with the tandem system these days. That said, what is best for any particular student depends on the student and his motivation. You can also make a first skydive through Static Line, Instructor Assisted Deployment, and Accelerated Free Fall. Every method of first jump has it's advantages, no method is the best, but many skydivers will tell you that one is better than another. People will push one method over another generally for business reasons, personal opinion, or ignorance of the other training methods.

Have a nice day!

Skydiving can be done all over the world. Most people begin with a tandem skydive where you are hooked up to a qualified experienced instructor.

Jumps usually take place at small airfields away from major commerical airports. Most countries have a federation or association which manages all the dropzones in its country. For instance, in the UK, this job falls upon the British Parachute Association.

You can go skydiving at a local centre called a dropzone. This is an old word which describes the airfield where parachutists can be dropped. Typically this where students and experienced jumpers will freefall.
