X, Y.
2000 ft. altitude. Vectors for visual approach by DAB approach control over DED (Deland, FL). Given long downwind vector for Runway 7L, then given turn to the north about a half mile east of DED. We flew above, beside, and under at least 5 jumpers with canopies open. We were approximately 150- 300 feet from the group that surrounded us as we flew through. We mentioned to the controlling controller (not cleared for approach). He stated they jump there all the time. Suggestion: Don’t vector us near known jump areas.
