    Yes! It used to be 3 first on the static line, in Arizona. Then you didn't have to be on the static line and could free fall until you checked the altimeter and knew it was time to pull the cord. Never did tandem. You could just call the place you're going to and ask, then call another place, out of state and ask them to see if the rules are different depending on which state you're in.

    Tandem is stupid to me, is that how they make more money, getting you to make more jumps before you don't need them and can get your own pilot and packing crew?
