When you decide to jump out of a plane, Edmonton Skydive is the right place to be! Came here in October 2017, was gifted the skydive by my sister and accompanied by my mom. They take bookings from April-October, we had booked an early date, but had to reschedule due to snow. They were very accommodating at helping us find a time that worked for both of us. They informed us ahead of time that they would call us on the day of to confirm our jump, as we had almost a 2 hour drive to get there. We were lucky enough to be able to jump on a gorgeous fall day, just as all the trees had turned to all their autumn glory.
When we arrived we were both eager and understandably nervous, this was each of our first experience skydiving. The third person meant to jump with us had rescheduled, so it was only the two of us!
There are a couple waivers to be signed initially and you have the option to purchase video footage or pictures of your jump (we chose not to) for $95 each or both for $120. There are several options available, tandem jumps for beginners, flight school for individuals interested in jumping solo in the future, and solo jumps for this already qualified.
The tandem jumps are perfect when you're looking to try skydiving. Edmonton skydive gave us an incredible experience, a once in a lifetime event for my mom and something I'm eager to try again in the future. There's a short training video to watch first and the rest of the instruction comes from the professional instructor. It was the perfect way to learn. We were given simple to the point instructions and encouraged to enjoy ourselves. Safety was clearly a priority, but we weren't overwhelmed with information. The whole process went very fast and before we knew it we were in the plane on our way up!
Edmonton skydive jumps from 14 000 feet the highest in Western Canada! Time disappeared as soon as we jumped. The instructor controlled our parachutes and in time they prepared us to land. The experience was really indescribable! As soon as we made it to the ground I was ready to go again! I can't recommend Edmonton Skydive enough for anyone looking for an amazing skydiving experience. I really believe it is a must do in everyone's lifetime! read more
