    I came here as last minute decision and it was amazing! The staff is so friendly and encouraging. My instructor Ben was awesome and so helpful through the whole thing. I was asking him all kinds of questions and talking his ear off out of nervousness and he was very reassuring!! I also loved hearing all of the instructors’ stories and experiences. Something I never thought I’d be doing, but it was of the best experiences of my life.

    First time skydiving and my instructor, Derek, was absolutely amazing! Derek’s personality and sense of humor kept me laughing the whole time which helped me forget about my nervousness. I purchased the video and pictures which are totally worth it! Now I can share my experience with my friends and I’m so pleased that Derek helped make my jump incredible! Thank you
