    Great time skydiving with my daughter at Piedmont Skydiving for my 50th birthday. Very professional and well run. Darren and Kyle were great in helping us have an incredible skydiving experience. We would definitely do it again! Thanks Darren, Kyle, and Piedmont Skydiving!

    This place is PHANOMANAL! I love the staff very family oriented and I was greeted with a warm welcome i would give this place 10 stars if I could. I flew with Dakoda and his service was SUPBURB. he kept me updated and informed about the process which made me feel so safe knowing that I was in good hands! if you're ready to skydive please come here!!!!

    One of the best experiences I have ever had. My instructor Derek was awesome!!! All the other instructors talked with me and checked on me throughout the experience. I must give a shout out to: Kai, who is an instructor as well, he was very helpful and awesome!!!! This was my first time skydiving, as I was celebrating my birthday during this week. I was scheduled for March 1st, but due to the bad weather I had to reschedule. Melanie contacted me on the morning of the 1st to reschedule, which was great because I have a 2hr drive to the location; she called super early and made it very easy to reschedule. I will most definitely return in the summer for a 2nd skydive experience. Thank you all for helping me celebrate my 42nd birthday!!!!

    When you see your feet dangling out of the plane there is a mix of excitement, disbelief and utter terror! Once that leap was taken it was the most exhilarating experience of my life. No words can describe how incredible it feels nor how much beauty is around you. I recommend everyone to make that jump in life. I went from being terrified to being captivated with my surroundings to then endless moments of laughter because I was consumed in so much happiness. Everyone is so friendly on their team! I want to thank all of you for the experience and a special thanks to my tandem instructor Chris, for helping me have the time of my life. I can’t wait to make that jump again!
