5-star experience all around. At the closest spot for skydiving to central Miami, I continued on…read moremy campaign to get over my fear of heights (see profile pic). While it's terrifying, I didn't wet my pants, get sick or chicken out at the last minute (LOL), thanks to the terrific staff. A small backstory: I am indeed terrified of heights taller than a ladder to change a lightbulb. My way to try to get over this is try to find relatively safe ways to de-sensitize my fear (bungee jumping from a utility tower over a stuntman air mattress in Seattle, walking over the glass balcony at the Grand Canyon, etc.). Doc C tries to be supportive in all this (he spotted the billboard for the bungee jumping). However, he has a remarkably unbroken record of headaches, back aches and stomach aches that have mysteriously kept him from personally trying any of these things himself. The folks with Miami Skydiving were calming right off the bat on the phone. They explain the whole thing step by step and even apply a coupon for $10 off, which always makes me mellow. The general price will be about $300, depending on extras (photo purchase, etc). Once you get there, the on-the-ground instructor goes through all the things you need to know. The trainer will be harnessed to your back. If you panic with a death grip on the pull cord, the trainer has a second pull cord. It's like a driver's ed car with a second steering wheel and extra set of brakes. The panic only sets in after the small plane takes you up in the air, packed with you and your fellow jumpers. It's easy to see out the large opening in the side of the plane where you'll be jumping out, and everyone is sort of sitting with knees apart, chest to back of the person in front of them. I was the first in the line-up, with no room for anyone else to get around me, so they couldn't exactly let me back out after we were in the air. The climactic moment is when you fall forward out of the plane, starting the first few moments of free fall. Despite the terror and adrenaline rush, it's remarkably peaceful. You could see Biscayne Bay, the Everglades and even down to the Keys. One fun extra as you're skydiving is the in-air photographer. The photog is in a sort of flying squirrel winged bodysuit, and swoops in and out, up and down, taking pictures of everyone as they fall. The camera is clever, mounted on top of the helmet with the shutter wired to a mouth activated trigger. The pics before your parachute is open will be funny but not very flattering: the rushing wind makes your face look like a basset hound crossed with Donald Trump's hair on a windy day. The later ones after the chute is open, you'll be surprised by how many laughing ones there are, despite the fact you're plummeting toward the ground 10k feet below. By the time you glide in for landing, the adrenaline rush from the terror will have given way to a rush of endorphins. At least half the group was giggling and laughing crazily by the time we were all taking off our safety helmets, etc. My trainer saved the nervous jokes for the van ride back to the airport: "hey I noticed on the plane on the way up that the straps were really frayed but didn't want you to back out...ha! gotcha Joe"

The controller will motion of your left arms higher. The instructor will go as high as you're comfortable. Her group was paired with another With another group.. all sitting lined up for their turn. My niece group had 2 rounds like about a few minutes. It was nice he did a little show at the end. The place is rather cozy with a changing room and party room. No concession stands. They had two vending machines . Soft drinks and chips for purchased. I walked in with a bottle of water and I was allowed too. They had a cute angel wing photo crop to take pics. Plenty of sitting area to watch the flyers! I recommend if you want the sky dive experience but not ready to through yourself off the plane yet. Besides the flying experience there isn't anything else to do there. My niece and friends loved it!

There were several things that were critical to me: 1) well maintained aircraft 2) advanced cockpit/glass panel and 3) exceptionally good instruction I found all 3 at Berichi Aviation so I traveled from Virginia to knock out my add-on in short order. I had all the necessary info ahead of time which meant that we were effectively training right away. Charlie relied on his experience to assess my abilities and created a bespoke syllabus that eliminated unnecessary time or cycles. The bottom line is that I was over-prepared for my checkride, which in my experience, is exactly what I would have expected.

The Redland Tropical Trail members include RF Orchids, Coral Castle, Everglades Alligator Farm, Schnebly's Winery, The Bonsai Garden, Robert is Here Fruit Stand, Monkey Jungle, Capri Restaurant, and Cauly Square Historic Village. Hitting all of these places, which I've managed to do, takes some time, as in four or five days if you do it right. Everglades National Park alone can take several days to cover and if you do go to Everglades National Park I highly recommend phoning the park in advance in order to get the correct schedule time for the HM69 Nike Missile Base Tour which the Redland's brochure fails to account for or mention.

We paid our deposit through a third-party who already refunded us however, Miami Watersport upon arrival told us that we needed to immediately pay to secure our spot.

Why in the world would y'all ask people to pay for something that y'all know y'all can't provide service services for. I will be leaving a review on every single platform to advise people how much of a scam this place is. And we will be seeking further legal action.
