    My experience on my first skydive was amazing! The person I dove with was very understanding. He knew it was my first dive and I was VERY nervous, but I told myself "Buck up girl" and just went for it! My hubby had a blast when he went on his first skydive and even jumped with me again ! He's a real trooper and I realized on that day, after my first successful jump that I am too!

    This was my first time skydiving at Piedmont, and my first high altitude jump. I friggin' loved it. My tandem partner Andrew was really nice and let me personalize my jump by deploying the parachute a little earlier so I could have more time looking around. I liked that all of the tandem partners were personable and friendly. I've been skydiving at other places where I wished I had had this tandem person as opposed to that one, but at Piedmont that wasn't the case. I liked my guy Andrew, and I liked my coworker's tandem partner too. Aside from check in, Piedmont Skydiving is like a well oiled machine. I would definitely recommend going and going again.

    I've watched the hawks for years wondering what it would be like to fly aloft in such peaceful quiet.
