    The staff was very informative and friendly. I dived with Chris and it was the best experience. It was my first jump and it wouldn’t have gone better. Bought another pass for the next visit already.

    First-timer here: IT WAS GREAT!! JOSH was SUPER as my tandem-partner. Josh said: "If you don't jump when I say jump, I will push you." Well, he pushed me. And I felt like I was going to have a heart attack. For 1 second. Then I settled into a beautiful drop through the blue sky. I could not even tell the Earth was approaching quickly from 12,000 feet up, then 9000, then 6000. It has been just 2 days, and I am ready to go back. ASK FOR JOSH!!!!!!!!

    Lived up to the hype! It was my first time and I chose to do the high altitude jump along with the video/picture package, worth every penny. Shout out to Dan and all the staff for making it an awesome experience!!

    Had a blast jumping out of a plane for the first time! They had a safe, streamlined process that just flew by. Would recommend to anyone!
