How Old do You have to be to Skydive?

Answer

It depends wildly on where you live however most places will not let you jump unless you are of legal age to sign a legal contract which is usually 18. Some places will allow you to do a tandem jump, a jump where you are strapped to a professional, at 16 with permission from a parent.

It really depends on what country you live in. In the USA you can be sixteen at some dropzones and eighteen at others. At eighteen you can sign your own contract and you cannot do that at sixteen.
