    Had an amazing experience at Piedmont Skydiving! It was my first time skydiving so I was nervous, but everyone was so friendly, knowledgeable and professional and it went so smoothly for me and my group! Definitely recommend!

    I’m glad to say we made the decision to jump. We went for my brother’s birthday and wouldn’t change a thing about the experience. It went great. There was a wait but anything good takes time. If you’re reading this do it…Skydive! It’s absolutely breathtaking & an experience that you will not regret! Thanks to Ben Cook- he was a great instructor. I would definitely do it again! It’s a feeling you won’t get unless you get in the air & receive that sky therapy. I’d give 10 stars if I could! August 4th 2024

    The folks here are great. Everything is very casual. I never felt unsafe at all. I've been back again already and plan for many more jumps.

    I had the best experience of my life at Piedmont Skydiving! The views were breathtaking and the professionalism of the entire staff was top notch. I always felt safe and instructor Kai was fun and made my jump very special! My skydiving experience was beyond my wildest dreams and the memories I made will last a lifetime. I highly recommend Piedmont Skydiving and I am looking forward to jumping again soon!
