    My daughter and I truly enjoyed our thrilling experience with Piedmont sky diving. My tandem buddy Derek Abernathy was so good to me. Explaining what to do. He took care of me so I could feel safe and just enjoy the fantastic ride through the sky. Perfect landing 😎 I am 68 years old. This was on my bucket list and I'm definitely happy that I did it!

    I had an amazing experience! The instructor Ki was amazing and so wonderful. My fiancé passed three months ago and this is something that we wanted to do together. So I was already nervous and unsure, without him by my side. I’m not a out going person, but Ki truly made my experience one for the books. He came over introduced himself was very professional, and made my experience life-changing. I actually regret not booking my second session. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
