    Piedmont Skydiving is awesome! This was my 3rd Tandem jump and it was my favorite so far. They’re very efficient with their time. Waiting time was less than 30 minutes from arrival to loading in the bus. Highly recommend Piedmont for skydiving in the Charlotte, NC area!

    This was most amazing experience!! All the staff were so kind and helpful. My instructor was so down to earth. I believe his name was Jon. He matched energies, I was so excited the entire time and he just kept pumping me up. I loved every single bit of this experience! 10000% recommend!!
