That depends on which country you want to skydive at. Some countries set an official limit for men and for women. Generally, on a tandem jump you can weigh more than on an AFF or Static Line course.
In the UK, there are official weight and height restrictions for AFF and Static Line courses. Put simply, your weight has to be in proporition with your height. This is called the Body Mass Indicator scale. The British Parachute Association sets limits for wing loadings and this has the first say. The final say comes down to individual dropzones.
For example, I skydive at Hibaldstow in Lincolnshire and they have a maximum weight of 16 stones for tandem and 15 stones for AFF.

Why doesn't your head explode when you skydive the pressure should make it explode but it doesn't why not?
When skydiving, your body is also exposed to the same outside pressure as your head, so there is no significant pressure difference that would cause your head to explode. Additionally, our bodies are designed to adapt to pressure changes, and as long as the pressure change is gradual, there is no risk of your head exploding while skydiving.
What type of friction is skydiving?
Skydiving involves air resistance, which is a type of fluid friction. As the skydiver falls through the air, the air resistance acts opposite to the direction of the motion, slowing down the descent.
