    My experience at Piedmont wasn't anything less than great. When I arrive to check in, the beautiful lady was helpful and nice. I was the only Tandem jumper at the time but I felt welcomed and at ease by the instructors and the second lady working the parachutes(so sweet). Not to mention they are hilarious. My instructor name was Darren and was he so cool. He helped me feel relaxed, very informative, and ensured me that I was in good hands. Thank you Darren and Piedmont for my great experience with you guys. It was wonderful!

    My daughter bought me a ticket to skydive for Mother's day and we hadn't had the chance to schedule and once her friend from home came into town we decided to take the leap. My experience with Kai and the entire staff was nothing short of professional and exceptional. Kai was such a fun instructor and made me feel very comfortable from the beginning to the end. I will definitely take another leap now tht I know what to expect the second time around. I highly recommend Piedmont Skydiving, you won't be disappointed!
