    The entire staff was great. The tandem jump crew was awesome! They made my son, daughter and I feel comfortable and relaxed before and during our jump. Each one was experienced, professional and had a love for what they do. It was our first jump and we will definitely be back for more.

    Ben the instructor was fun, made me feel secure by reassuring me that all is good from the transport to the plane to the ground. As a 1st time skydiver, I approached this life list excited but reserved. If this active on your list, I wholeheartedly recommend Piedmont Skydiving.

    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
