    Had an absolutely awesome experience! It was my first time skydiving and I’ll definitely do it again. My instructor Kyle was great and made sure all my questions were answered.

    Had an amazing time!!! Landed safely and with zero problems. The dive was the absolute best. Felt completely safe and I had never been in a plane before. The staff was incredible. Melody the receptionist was very friendly and easy going, Derek my jumper was funny yet professional, and made the experience that much better. Definitely recommend coming here. The plane is a bit small but that's okay! Doesn't take away from the experience. Oh and a tip for future jumpers! Buy your photos / videos to at day. Don't expect to have another chance to buy them once you leave. They don't hold on to photos/videos after that day is over so go ahead and purchase them while you're there. Wish I had for my fiancee who also jumped with me!
