    I jumped with Allen and he was great I will definitely ask for him the next time I do it. The rest of the crew from start to end was amazing and did a awesome job.

    Friendly and knowledgeable staff. For a first-timer, I at no point felt uncomfortable as they were willing to answer any questions I had. Derek was great and made my jump the most memorable and exciting experience of my life! Thank you Derek! I'm definitely going back.

    The office and skydiving team are friendly, reassuring and personable, joking but making you feel comfortable with what may be the scariest but most exciting experience of your life! All sorts of characters and bucket listers, a people watchers atmosphere, this is an all day adrenaline high you won’t soon forget! I did flips right out of the plane then flew fast in my tandem jump until we pulled the rip cord, and glided down, with some spins and coasting for memories with my son and lifelong friend... Recommend long pants, no matter the time of year, since you will be landing likely on yiur bottom in a field... Awesome experience, loved it!!!!
