    My first time skydiving and I was terrified!! Everyone there made me feel at ease. My tandem partner, Matt, was amazing and made it a great experience. I will do it again!!

    Great experience for first-timer! Derek was great and did all the work. The rush of free-falling was amazing and I'm so glad we did the higher altitude with longer free-fall! The parachute ride to the ground was so peaceful and the landing was smooth - not even a bump! Thanks Derek! Thanks Piedmont Skydiving!!

    Piedmont Skydive is one of those places where you immediately feel at home; whether you’re doing a tandem or are you’re a sport jumper, you’re going to leave with great friends! I would highly recommend Piedmont Skydive to all those fun jumpers out there if you want to shred the skies with a great, safety oriented drop zone!
