    An amazing experience from start to finish! The staff are all very friendly and make you feel at ease almost effortlessly. My tandem partner was Skye... (yes, that's his actual name, perfect, right?)... And his experience at his craft is very evident as soon as you meet him...but it's the same with everyone else there. They truly enjoy what they do, and it shows. I told him I thought he had one of the coolest jobs in the world, and he responded with, "I get to hang out with my friends all day and do something I love with total strangers." Doesn't get much more real than that!

    Whether you're a first time jumper like me, or experienced... This is your place. ????

    Amazing! I would 100% recommend for anyone who wants to try skydiving! We had a weather delay which took 2+ hours, so bring your patience. Other than that it was a seamless experience. The staff are pros. They take care of everything.

    Second time with this outfit. It doesn't get any better for a fun, exhilarating and safe experience!!!! Jumped with Josh this time. Opted for flips out of the aircraft and straight into a perfect freefall punching a cloud enroute! It was the best! And Kyle, you are a hysterical mess! Loved it all!
