    Went on my Birthday and I’d say the best birthday gift I ever received. It was my Girlfriend first time on the airplane so jumping out from one was crazy but she absolutely loved it. Instructors were really helpful and made us feel really comfortable and safe being with them. I can’t remember my instructors name (what a shame) but he was such an amazing dude. I will post a picture with him. Thank y’all so much for the experience we will be back, worth every penny. Money is nothing compare to this experience

    I went skydiving at Piedmont Skydiving over a week and a half ago and I am still talking about my wonderful experience daily! I had the best experience and I can’t wait to do it again! Shoutout to Derek who was an amazing instructor! I felt completely at ease with Derek and would jump with him again in a heartbeat! I would highly recommend anyone who wants to have a fantastic experience and memories to go skydiving at Piedmont Skydiving!

    THE absolute best experience of my life. heights and flying are my biggest fears, but i had the time of my life. Allen was the best instructor ever. i felt so safe the whole time and was having so much fun laughing while jumping 14000 feet in the sky. I would go back and do it every day if i could. TRUST ME you will have so much fun and it’s so worth it. best place ever

    If you haven’t jumped....what are you waiting for??!! These guys are the real deal! We had such a blast jumping here for Fathers Day 2018. All the instructors are top-notch and put your mind at ease. Would’ve loved a bigger plane so we all could’ve went up together but the small plane experience was pretty unique in its own right. Had Matt as my tandem and his knowledge and excitement of the sport of skydiving really came through! Will definitely be back!
