OUR REPUTATION SPEAKS FOR ITSELF
This place was fantastic. Safety conscious with clear instruction put everyone at ease! Great interaction with the entire group I went with including those who just came as spectators. All the instructors were enthusiastic and fun, with an obvious passion for skydiving. Go jump out of a plane with these guys!!! You won't regret it!!

general skydiving questions
faq
Like nothing, you can experience on the ground. It does not feel like a rollercoaster. You do not feel like you’re falling. There is no “stomach drop”. You will experience a lot of noise (from the wind) and some pressure pushing your arms up. Just smile and enjoy yourself. Smiling also helps prevent the dreaded “tandem mouth“.
To skydive you must weigh under 230 pounds. You must be 18 years or older. 200-230 lbs – $2 per pound surcharge.
