    I had the best time! The staff was absolutely awesome! Derek (my instructor) was very personable and funny and he made the experience less terrifying than I thought it would be. I am definitely jumping again!! Thanks Piedmont, I'll be back!!

    Absolutely awesome experience with great people! I have gone twice with the Piedmont Skydiving team and they are wonderful! During both we had pop-up weather that caused delays and we felt very grateful to have a team that was concerned with our safety first over money to complete the jumps. Useful recommendation if you are going out there - bring a chair and pop-up tent for shade. The whole experience takes time and there is currently not really seating/shade for most people, so bring your own! We took a pop-up tent, chairs and a cooler with water and snacks. Those helped make the day great as we watched other jumpers while waiting for our turn! I would highly recommend this to anyone!

    Sunday was my second time jumping at Piedmont Skydiving. Fantastic experience,again. Matt was the fellow I jumped tandem with and he was great. If you’re thinking about jumping out of a perfectly good airplane,this is the place to do it. Would jump again at Piedmont Skydiving. ????????
