Question raised and asked twice but not yet ansewered : (possibly the experienced divers can look in their books and reply ) : diving (from high altitude) through clouds, is it really authorised and if so what are the procedures ?
I fly regularly into an (uncontrolled AFIS ) field which is not closed when para jumps are taking place . We just get a warning and have to watch out. The Landing area is about 500m from the runway ,which remains active during the drop(s). When ceiling is about 2000 feet, the divers indeed break through clouds , sometimes quite appart from each other . Do not find this very safe myself I must say.
