Our experience at Piedmont was nothing short of excellent! From booking the date, to arriving and the experience itself. If you've never done it, or have been pondering doing it.. DO IT!

This was my first skydiving experience, and I did it to celebrate my 60th birthday. It was amazingly awesome. Kelsey, my instructor, took over all the hard work to make me feel safe and freed me to enjoy the entire process. The dive was not as scary at all as it was otherwise imagined. The view from the sky was magnificent, especially during the sunset. Even my wife was so inspired by my dive that she now considers diving with me in my next attempt.

I came here as last minute decision and it was amazing! The staff is so friendly and encouraging. My instructor Ben was awesome and so helpful through the whole thing. I was asking him all kinds of questions and talking his ear off out of nervousness and he was very reassuring!! I also loved hearing all of the instructors’ stories and experiences. Something I never thought I’d be doing, but it was of the best experiences of my life.

There was a 2 hour delay because the plane’s tire had to be changed right before I got to skydive, but other than that it was an amazing experience! I’m definitely coming back when I can fork up another $209 🙂

I had a blast and will definitely be returning! Thank you! I have a newfound passion for skydiving and can't wait to learn to jump solo! My instructor was really kind and knowledgeable and made me feel super safe. Chris, I think his name was. Kyle and the other guy also gave my friends a safe, fun, and memorable experience. Thanks to the whole crew!

I'm 74 years old and did this with my two Grandson's. It was an absolutely AWESOME! I felt very safe....taken care of. My partner was so calm and shared how much he loved his job. I was never afraid. The 'ride' down, after a little rough patch, was so calm and quite. The scenery was awesome. And the landing was easy peasy! One hint for anyone with hearing aids. DON'T WEAR THEM! I lost mine up there. (I even have a picture of it flying out of my ear! - the photo pkg. is worth it!) Give it a 10+

Super professional outfit with a core of experienced coaches. Their focus is hinged on safety and this exhilarating experience even if you jump at 12K when it should have been 17K. LOL

The instructor, Dakota was awesome. Informed me of everything before it happened. Had to wait about 3.5 hours from arrival time but worth the wait. I will go again.

I had the experience of a lifetime Saturday, November 13, 2021, with Josh on my tandem skydive. This was my 2nd one. My first was when I was 60 yrs old and this one was on my 70th birthday Saturday. Josh was kind and considerate. He explained the process to me and had me very relaxed. I would recommend them to anyone .

Most amazing experience I’ve ever! The staff are all very nice. Dave was the best instructor i could’ve asked for. He made me feel comfortable with the idea that I was about to jump out of a plane. If you’re wanting to go skydiving, definitely go to piedmont skydiving! You will not be disappointed.

I had skydiving on my bucket list, and decided to do it for my 60th birthday. The crew was AMAZING! The whole experience was exceptional. Trying to describe the experience would be unjust, you just gotta experience it yourself!

This was fantastic. Everyone was so nice- employees and other jumpers alike. It was fun to interact with the other jumpers and it felt like I was with old friends. Allen, my tandem instructor, was FANTASTIC. He was incredibly positive, fun loving, and laid back. I loved the vibe and it was exactly what I was looking for. I felt that even though I was likely his 4000th jump, he did not skimp on any of the fun details that made it awesome for a first time jumper. Piedmont- 12/10! Allen- 13/10! Do yourself a favor and book a jump!! If you are reading this, you know you want to!
