    Wow. What an incredible experience!!!! I am 18 and have never been skydiving, but this place made it EASY. very simple process for getting ready with waivers and harnesses. amazing employees that clearly are professionals and love what they do. Michael helped make my experience perfect. He talked me through it the whole time and easily kept me calm and made sure I was always comfortable. And everyone was very funny and made everything way more enjoyable. Lots of laughs. Highly recommend this place and Michael deserves a raise!!!!!!

    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 went skydiving on September 1st with a buddy of mine and it was AWESOME! We waited about 4 hours before we were allowed to take off and go for our dive due to bad weather but the wait was totally worth it! So glad that we finally got to go and we will be back again with more friends! Huge thanks to the instructors that went with us as they made us feel very comfortable and made the experience one of a kind!

    Nothing but good things to say about these guys! My wife and I decided to cross skydiving off of our bucket list. The staff were super friendly when we showed up and made is feel right at home. We met our instructors, got suited up and headed to the runway. Incredible experience with Kyle. The whole outfit is top notch. We had such a good time we went ahead and booked our next jump before we left that day. You wont be disappointed.
