Narrative:

Earlier today, I was flying a C172RG operating as aircraft X. The purpose of the flight was for commercial 141 flight training. We departed dab at XA30 on an ocean south. Upon arrival to the south practice area, we climbed to 2000 ft and conducted stalls, steep turns, and chandelles. After completion of the maneuvers, we contacted dab approach on 125.35 for a local IFR to get the ILS runway 7L. We received our clearance and entered IMC soon after. We were receiving radar vectors to dab. While en route, I heard mention of a jump plane around deland. About 5 mins after that, I got ded airport in sight and was looking for the plane. I did not see it and was turned eastbound for the ILS. I asked the controller where the jump plane was and he told me he was climbing out of 500 ft. Seconds after that radio call, the controller told me the jump plane was 700 ft directly below me. The controller continued to give me calls that the plane was directly below me climbing rapidly. The calls were 1100 ft, 1200 ft, 1300 ft, followed by turn immediately to heading 090 degrees. I started the turn and watched the jump plane appear out of the clouds less than 200 ft horizontal at my altitude. I asked a final time where the jump plane was and the controller aid he was no longer a factor. I no longer had him in sight as I went IMC to continue the ILS runway 7L. The controller did a phenomenal job in keeping me clear. The jump plane out of deland was, in my opinion, acting in a careless and reckless manner, operating VFR in IMC, and operating too close as to create a collision hazard with another aircraft.

Title: NMAC BTWN A C172 TRAINING FLT ON VECTOR FOR AN ILS APCH AND A SKYDIVING ACFT CLBING OUT FROM AN UNCTLED ARPT AT 3000 FT MSL. THE SKYDIVER WAS BEING MONITORED BY APCH CTL AND WAS OBSERVED COMING OUT OF CLOUDS 200 FT AWAY FROM THE RPTR.

Narrative: EARLIER TODAY, I WAS FLYING A C172RG OPERATING AS ACFT X. THE PURPOSE OF THE FLT WAS FOR COMMERCIAL 141 FLT TRAINING. WE DEPARTED DAB AT XA30 ON AN OCEAN S. UPON ARR TO THE S PRACTICE AREA, WE CLBED TO 2000 FT AND CONDUCTED STALLS, STEEP TURNS, AND CHANDELLES. AFTER COMPLETION OF THE MANEUVERS, WE CONTACTED DAB APCH ON 125.35 FOR A LCL IFR TO GET THE ILS RWY 7L. WE RECEIVED OUR CLRNC AND ENTERED IMC SOON AFTER. WE WERE RECEIVING RADAR VECTORS TO DAB. WHILE ENRTE, I HEARD MENTION OF A JUMP PLANE AROUND DELAND. ABOUT 5 MINS AFTER THAT, I GOT DED ARPT IN SIGHT AND WAS LOOKING FOR THE PLANE. I DID NOT SEE IT AND WAS TURNED EBOUND FOR THE ILS. I ASKED THE CTLR WHERE THE JUMP PLANE WAS AND HE TOLD ME HE WAS CLBING OUT OF 500 FT. SECONDS AFTER THAT RADIO CALL, THE CTLR TOLD ME THE JUMP PLANE WAS 700 FT DIRECTLY BELOW ME. THE CTLR CONTINUED TO GIVE ME CALLS THAT THE PLANE WAS DIRECTLY BELOW ME CLBING RAPIDLY. THE CALLS WERE 1100 FT, 1200 FT, 1300 FT, FOLLOWED BY TURN IMMEDIATELY TO HDG 090 DEGS. I STARTED THE TURN AND WATCHED THE JUMP PLANE APPEAR OUT OF THE CLOUDS LESS THAN 200 FT HORIZ AT MY ALT. I ASKED A FINAL TIME WHERE THE JUMP PLANE WAS AND THE CTLR AID HE WAS NO LONGER A FACTOR. I NO LONGER HAD HIM IN SIGHT AS I WENT IMC TO CONTINUE THE ILS RWY 7L. THE CTLR DID A PHENOMENAL JOB IN KEEPING ME CLR. THE JUMP PLANE OUT OF DELAND WAS, IN MY OPINION, ACTING IN A CARELESS AND RECKLESS MANNER, OPERATING VFR IN IMC, AND OPERATING TOO CLOSE AS TO CREATE A COLLISION HAZARD WITH ANOTHER ACFT.
