    I took my first jump with Piedmont skydiving yesterday and it was an absolutely AMAZING experience. I was very comfortable and felt safe with Dakota for my tandem dive. I am already looking towards another jump.

    Matt and Derek were great! It was the first skydiving experience for me and my daughter. We were celebrating her birthday. Everyone made us feel very safe and at ease.

If you're nervous, they'll help calm your anxiety. If you're fearful, they'll show you they're worthy of your trust and will deliver you through the most incredible experience of your life. Give them a try. You'll be glad you did.
