Try a tandem jump first to get some freefall time, and if you prefer the under canopy part to the freefall, you can just do paper pulls forever.
I haven't jumped since I was 16, because money. That's literally the only thing stopping me.
Edit: btw, they usually do skydives from a C-182. Have you ever landed in a C-182? I have. It's much preferable to jump the fuck out at a great height.

I paid for my husband to go last year and he loved it, although not sure he would do it again. But it just isn't something I think I would be able to get over. Maybe when I am older.
