    Loved my sky diving experience here. My instructor was top notch. He explained everything to me clearly and told me most importantly to have fun and we did. I will definitely be back soon probably spring or summer. My pics and videos are excellent. Best money I have ever spent and definitely worth it.

    My name is Lauren and I visited Piedmont Skydiving in Salisbury this past Saturday for the first time. This was the most AMAZING experience and will definitely not be the last time I do this! I can not for the life of me remember my guide's name, but she was an incredible, hilarious, helpful, and wonderful human being who I hope to jump again with in the future. I WILL BE BACK!!!!!
