Skydive SW Florida Club

# Skydive SW Florida Club

Skydive SW Florida Club operates from Shell Creek Airport (F13) in Punta Gorda, Florida, serving skydivers with a full range of training and recreational jump services. Located seven miles east of Punta Gorda off I-75 exit 164, the dropzone features a 2,500 square foot carpeted hangar and maintains convenient accessibility from the north via US-17.

The facility operates five days a week and accommodates both first-time tandem jumpers and experienced skydivers pursuing advanced certifications. Training programs include AFF (Accelerated Freefall) for student progression and Tandem instruction for introduction to the sport. The dropzone is equipped with 2 Cessna 182 aircraft, enabling consistent jump operations and training sorties.

Skydive SW Florida Club caters to the Southeast Region skydiving community and offers a welcoming atmosphere for jumpers of all experience levels. The on-site amenities support both casual visitors and dedicated sport jumpers: the facility provides equipment rental and sales, packing services, rigging services, shower facilities, videography services, and Wi-Fi connectivity. These amenities make the dropzone functional for full-day visits and support the needs of skydivers preparing for and recovering from jumps.

The club's convenient location in Southwest Florida positions it as an accessible option for tandem students, AFF candidates, and experienced jumpers in the region. Punta Gorda's year-round weather provides reliable jumping conditions, and the rural airfield setting offers a straightforward drop zone environment. The proximity to Fort Myers (approximately 6 miles south) and the broader Southwest Florida area makes Skydive SW Florida Club reachable for both local and traveling skydivers.

Whether you're looking to take your first tandem jump, earn your skydiving certification through the AFF program, or enjoy recreational jumping with a community-oriented dropzone, Skydive SW Florida Club offers the training, aircraft, and facilities to support your skydiving goals in Punta Gorda, Florida.
