    Had the most wonderful time at Piedmont Skydiving! I had been wanting to experience this for 4 years and finally took the “leap” and scheduled the reservation!! It was such an exciting experience, my boyfriend and I loved every minute of it and will surely do it again sometime!! We felt completely safe and in very capable hands.....there’s really nothing like it!!

    AWESOME!!!! This was such an amazing experience. I was just petrified at first, but this was something I really had my heart set on doing for a long time!!!! My instructor Thomas H. and the rest of the staff made me feel so confident and relaxed which made everything flow so easily from the beginning to the end. I will definitely be back!

    What an amazing day! My brother and I went for our first time, and the crew couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating. Darcy was a great 2nd man, and the communication with Mel was spectacular! Would highly recommend!

    Had an amazing experience here as a part of my birthday celebration! Kyle was an amazing tandem skydiving instructor; very thorough with directions and informative. This was my first time going skydiving and I felt more at ease knowing my tandem was seasoned and very experienced. The team here is amazing from the guides to administration during the check in process. Everyone was so nice and approachable with any questions I had. I would definitely come back again!
