    One of the best experiences of my life. Surprisingly, minimal fear or anxieties accompanied me along the jump. The people who work at Piedmont Skydiving are all kind, exciting, and unique people who add to the experience rather than take from it. I jumped with Kai and throughout the jump from the time we took off in the plane, till we safely landed, the man was comforting and relaxed. Overall, I have to highly recommend skydiving and do so at Piedmont Skydiving.

    On June 15, 2022 Me and a couple of friends decided to go skydiving at Piedmont. This trip would make my second and the first for a few of my other friends and by the time we landed we all had the same thought process..LETS DO IT AGAIN. The Piedmont Skydiving team was excellent, they took care of all of our need from brand new to experience they handled every task simply and effectively. Darcy was amazing to jump with and I intend on coming back to jump with him again soon.

    This was my first skydive ever and could not have asked for a better experience!!! My tandem dive instructor Derek was awesome and I can’t wait to dive with Piedmont Skydiving again. The experience and the staff was worth every penny! If you have never been skydiving but have always wanted to, give these pros a call. You will have fun beyond belief. Oh by the way did I mention my wife and I already have another dive booked. To Piedmont Skydiving thank you so much for this awesome experience and I can’t wait to jump again. I’m hooked!!!!!!!

    Bought the experience for my mom for her 65th birthday. Her brother came down (who turned 68 the day before her birthday) and he decided to jump with her. They had a GREAT time. Josh who jumped with my mom and Derek; I think was the guy who jumped with my uncle were both awesome!! The whole process was smooth and everyone was friendly. They both are ready to do it again.
