    Absolutely the most terrifying yet rewarding experience ever! The people here are awesome and fun. They take extreme safety precautions while giving the best experience. Would highly recommend this place to anyone. Definitely will be doing this again.

    Safety is paramount here, went as a group of 3 and I could not jump due to a medical issue. The staff was extremely professional at all times and took great care of my wife and friend. Seeing how detail oriented the staff was at all times was impressive. They are a cohesive unit and it shows. The Instructor, Dakota took time to explain things I can do to be jump ready and also heal fully before participating in skydiving. I'll be back, trust me.

    Piedmont Skydiving exceeded my expectations. It was such a great experience, I was ready to do all over again immediately. Dan was awesome, he explained everything in detail and made light which helped my nervousness. The process was smooth from the time we put our harnesses on to landing on the ground. I HIGHLY recommend Piedmont and I look forward to returning for my second jump.
