    I had the best experience of my life at Piedmont Skydiving! The views were breathtaking and the professionalism of the entire staff was top notch. I always felt safe and instructor Kai was fun and made my jump very special! My skydiving experience was beyond my wildest dreams and the memories I made will last a lifetime. I highly recommend Piedmont Skydiving and I am looking forward to jumping again soon!

    I came for the fun, stayed for people! You will have a mind-blowing experience with your tandem jump, and if you're looking to start skydiving yourself, look no further!!!!. Talk to the awesome ladies at the manifest and sign up for your AFF course. The instructors are great, and everyone is super helpful! The people here became an extended family. I couldn't have wished for better people guiding me to become a skydiver!!

    Matt who had over 4000 jumps took me up into a plane for my first time sky diving! He was light hearted and made the scary situation as comfortable as it could be. Piedmont was very organized and we had literally no wait time which made the process much more enjoyable. I would definitely jump again with them and recommend them for anyone's first time jumping out of an airplane at 10,000 feet!

    This was an experience of a lifetime! I had Allen Taylor as my instructor and he was the best at calming my nerves and cracking jokes. The team made sure everyone was safe and had a great time. The #1 rule is to have fun!

    Had an awesome experience here! Our whole group had nothing but positive things to say about the jump, the staff (shout out to Kyle), the reasonable prices, and the friendly dogs were an added bonus!
