    My father and I had a blast!! He just turned 70 and was able to cross this off his bucket list!! I’m looking forward to going back and taking the class so I can jump solo soon! This was a great high energy group to jump with and I can’t wait to do it again!!

    My boyfriend and I went skydiving for the first time yesterday with Matt and Derek and couldn’t have had a better experience! We were both anxious but the instructors really helped ease our anxiety with jokes and their playful attitude, yet were still very reassuring, patient, and professional. My boyfriend even said he will only skydive again if it’s with Derek!! They also offer a discounted rate on your next tandem skydive if you pay in advance before you leave that day, which I’m definitely kicking myself for not taking up bc it’s been 24hrs and I’m already planning a trip back. Highly recommend this place!!

    Went skydiving for my first time ever and it was truly an incredible experience. My instructor Sky was so hilarious and chill, every instructor on the plane felt like family. If it wasn’t for them the experience itself wouldn’t have been as exciting and I wouldn’t have felt as calm as they made me feel. I had such a fun time and can’t wait to come back!
