What a life changing experience! I was absolutely petrified of heights until challenging myself with this epic advenrure! Thanks to the expertise of our instructors, Tom and Anthony, I was able to enjoy every moment... their knowledge helped me feel confident and safe. They really got me hyped up and excited for the jump. They were both such fun! I can NOT wait to jump with them again!! These guys helped me to really relax so that I could share in my husband's love of skydiving, while also conquering a major obstacle of my own fear! Extra special shout out to Anthony... Dude your energy is contagious my friend!! Thank you! Extra special shout out to Tom... My friend, I thank you. Your tactical skull assured my safety to the fullest degree! Thanks for the smooth sailing and soft landing! read more

Finally was able to coordinate schedules. Took my son and his best friend for their Christmas present! This was my son's and his best friend 1st skydiving experience. Everyone we encountered who worked for Phoenix Skydive was full of enthusiasm and made everyone feel at ease and comfortable. We got there around 9.30am to check in, signed a few forms, they were given instructions a few times just to go over everything, and they jumped around 11am. As a mother watching her son and best friend skydive I felt completely comfortable with this company. Definitely a memorable experience for the boys! The whole crew was really awesome.

Great team!!! Very safe, great instructors and a hell of an awesome pilot!!! Definitely would do this again!

Stepping out for the first time on 11/12/2023, I was filled with sheer terror. Overcoming that fear and taking that leap of faith was the most daunting part, but I am so grateful that I did. The experience turned out to be absolutely incredible, especially the part where you get to control the parachute. I wholeheartedly endorse it without any reservations. read more

Amazing experience and great instructors. Don't believe any of the negativity you may hear they run a very professional operation. Will definitely be back for my third jump and mini more. Check Groupon!!!!! Heads up on the weight limit and taxing. read more

Great experience at Phoenix Skydive center! It was my first time and they never made me feel anything but safe and secure. They talk to you on the plane up to make you feel comfortable and distracted and then the actual jump is amazing! I'd absolutely recommend them for first timers and veterans. read more

These guys were a lot of fun. I went to the Casa Grand location and I expected a more professional atmosphere but it worked out fine. My son and I both had a fun and safe dive. It was a little dirtier in the landing then I thought it would be. U kind of slide into this gravel lot and dirt goes flying. Being our first time I don't know what to expect. I've heard a few different stories from people who did Phoenix Skydive Center in different locations in the state and they all so different. I guess it depends where u go. Don't forget to tip ur tandem partner or bus driver. They're big on gratuity. read more

I've jumped three times now, and I can genuinely say that Anthony was the ABSOLUTE BEST!! I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANTHONY!!! He explained everything, walked me through how this and that works and how I couldn't be safer. We did two twisting flips and I felt safe the entire time. read more

Everybody here was awesome! As a first time jumper they were all so patient and kind to me. I loved jumping with Paul, he's a real cool dude and made my experience the best it could be. I felt safe and comfortable. Loved my experience here! read more

The instructors are so fun! Loved their humor and they were really great, made me feel at ease. We had a blast!

Yet another rash decision that me and my boyfriend made for his birthday this year. But 100% worth it. I read a few reviews about the staff not being friendly, but that simply was not the case for us. They were quirky and had a great sense of humour. We made sure to ask them they had important plans lined up for later that evening, being that you're jumping out with them from 10,000 feet! The wait wasn't long either. We were in the plane within 30 minutes. We enjoyed every minute of this experience. read more

Super fun and great views! The staff were friendly and I definitely want to get my skydiving license now!

How is it possible there are only FOUR Yelps on this? The five stars are beyond justified. I am a tight fisted woman with those stars, but, when you're talking about trusting, OH, your LIFE to someone else this seems appropriate. (And not just because I didn't die.) Today was Fun. Relaxing. Exciting. But not stressful. Here's the thing. I went skydiving thirteen years ago. Yes, I'm *that* old. (Also, I remembered to dye my roots last night. Covers my bald spot a bit better and makes me look younger.) Anyway. I know the drill. You go, you sign too many waivers, step into gear, hop into a tiny plane, try to enjoy the view and hope for the best. Buuuut...I got a lot more than that today. I picked up a rich memory that I won't ever forget. And not in the "Rum, why did you let me drink so much" variety bad feeling. The owner, and god help me, I can't remember his name right now. (Only that he wore a very hol-e-y set of garments. Not holy in the Vatican sense. His wife now has an excuse to chuck that t-shirt. And maybe those jeans;) His sense of humor is in line with mine. Ho my. He didn't bat an eye when we showed up without an appointment. Don't do that. You might not get to jump. Jumping in Phoenix is very different than the east coast. When it gets hot, no one wants to do anything. So, actually my friend and I should have known better. No one wants to do ANYthing in Phoenix after 10AM. So, DUH. After you sign your life away (yes, there's no getting around that) you hang out in a room with maybe four or five round tables. If you've forgotten to eat (like maybe me - don't tell my trainer) there's a vending and coffee machine. There were some really neat older gentlemen there today, chock full of stories. If you can, come ready to listen. I have a feeling these guys are here often. If you ask nice they'll probably show you a picture of their planes (well worn and carried in their wallets). So..onto the actual jumping thing. Eh, hold on a sec. Jewelry: - Don't wear any. Hair: - When you tie it up/back tie it tighter than a sailor's knot. My running knot came out in the middle of the dive. Sticky mess but dangerous as it blocks your dive instructor's view. BAD. My friend and I picked up the social media picture package thing. So instead of leaving with a disc of images, we agreed to go with the "we have no shame" and "go ahead and post all of our unedited photos on your FB page". This option is neat if you don't want to fiddle with a disc, or FB. You can quickly tag yourself and away you go! (I personally, picked a few pictures, cropped, threw a filter/border on and * then* shared everywhere.) General Advice for Filming/Photos: - Ladies, you can totally wear your hair down for every single shot PRE JUMP. (~ until five minutes before jump). Don't let the men rush you. Look puurty! - If you're in a group, there's a Q/A video of "why are you jumping today" before you head out. I would recommend one of two things. (A) Use one camera so everyone is facing the same lens. Or (B) Let everyone have private time with their dive instructor. - Your Dive Instructors are like Ninjas with those Cameras. Seriously. Sasha (my super awesome dive buddy) finally realized how much of a spaz I am and started prompting me. (THANK GOODNESS.) "Hey, Look here!" (Like a five year old on a pony, that would be me.) - There's not really such a good thing as a "good look" when you're in free fall. My goggles completely squashed my eyeballs, making it hard to see out of one eye, and apparently making me look like a frog. (Maybe I could have voiced concerns about tightness earlier.) My friend said her dive buddy suggested smiling NO MATTER WHAT as it made you look better. - I think there is definite value for the photos. There were something like 135? photos. In that wiiiide batch I found some killer (maybe a bad word to use:) photos that made my friends at work uber jealous. (I've only posted TWO so far. Both of which I posted to Yelp. I was in a rush today. Things to do!) Now, for the real reason that I'm hammering out a Yelp review on a Friday night. The word needs to get out. These guys are fun. I know I said that already. I was pretty chill coming into the situation. (My friend, maybe not so much.) But every party involved was very [VERY] welcoming and easy going. My friend was not clutching my hand as I had feared. Afterwards she was not wreckage. She was happy. This made ME happy. I was already happy as the view is just amazing. When you fly commercial (or, if you're privy to a really nice private plane, in which case I hate you) you're somewhat removed from the vista. In a small plane you can see EVERYTHING. It really is something I think everyone should try. These guys make you feel good about getting ready, getting on the plane, being in the plane, being in the air, and landing. And, let's face it, it's the landing part that really matters. Well, all of it matters I highly recommend! read more

I had a great time skydiving! It was my first time and it was such a rush. My instructor was awesome and I felt very comfortable with him. I went with my boyfriend and his instructor was also very cool. We both enjoyed our time and will definitely recommend Phoenix skydive center to our friends and family and also come again ourselves! Thank you for such a great experience! read more

Zero stars. Do not go here. We made a reservation for 2pm and by the time we got there, we were early, they didn't check their schedule and had sent everyone home. We were told we could do it tomorrow and get a free shirt. No discount. No anything. Not even a DVD or pictures for the hassle. We asked for a full refund and the man was very rude. Said he couldn't call everyone back in for us. We had prepaid 420 dollars for this reservation. Awful awful service and place. read more

Amazing experience!! Really a great place for first time jumpers. I am 18 and was definitely nervous but my instructor Tyler did a great job making jokes, explaining things very clearly, and getting everyone excited to jump! It was magical and truly felt like I was flying. The man that checked us in also gave us a deal on the video so I can remember the trip! Definitely recommend! read more

What a great experience. The adrenaline rush is unbelievable, I felt like dying for a second but after that it was fun. The whole staff were friendly and welcoming. I jumped with David who was super cool and funny. He explained every thing along the way and made it easy and fun. I will definitely do it again soon. Thanks Phoenix Skydive Center for the unforgettable experience. read more

100%! I would 100% come back here again. The team was friendly and someone even let me borrow their hair tie :'D (pro tip ladies-bring one!!). Its out in Casa Grande which is about an hour out of Phoenix, and worth it. I did a tandem jump with Shawn, and although it was my second jump, he still made sure I knew what to expect, and what I should do. I felt comfortable. They do film you and take photos with a Go Pro, and you can buy those at the end. It is $90 for either the photos or the video, OR $130 for both. The Go Pro is attached to your instructor's wrist when you jump so the range will definitely be limited, but okay. The jump goes by fast so dont forget to relax and breathe! Then enjoy coasting with the parachute :) when you're back at the base be sure to read the "survivor's board" and sign your own name! read more

They are so friendly and supportive I took my boys to watch me fly and jump for the first time and I know it wouldn't have been possible without all the support they gave me, such good energy from this place I can't wait to visit and jump again, now I can say I have flown just never landed in a plane read more

It's 100% worth it!! read more

We were jumping with our friends this day... they were super helpful, got a T-shirt for each of us that jumped by checking in on yelp. We came in from out of state specifically to jump with our friends... The expectations were completely relate as far as the poundage to be under and because of that we were not able to jump with one of our friends....However since they did an incredible job still get four stars! They were very gracious to us Andrew did a great job, he is a superstar! read more

From the start, Mr. Randy was amazing! He managed to fit my sister and I on short notice. He made sure we were able to schedule and got us in with no problems. At check in, Chance was funny, smart, and extremely knowledgeable. Made me feel more confident and less nervous. I love how professional and well managed Phoenix skydive center is. Now, for my instructor, Matthew! Not only is he tall and sexy. He was so nice and sweet. Extremely smart and very knowledgeable. I trusted and felt so comfortable with him. I knew my life was in good hands, literally!!! I would definitely go back! read more

They were prompt...no waiting around from check in until harnessing up. My instructor, Tim, was upbeat and professional. Jump was fun and safe with a perfect walking landing. Only downside is that only two students can jump at a time. You need to jump in pairs to be with someone you know. read more

I went for 30th birthday because apparently I needed to learn to be brave and embrace life. I was genuinely horrified for the 8 days following up to the jump. When I got there I was lost in my own head. They were so chill and laid back. Not thrilled about that at first, but it turned out to be really helpful. You eventually slide into their vibe. I jumped with Larry. He was super calm but still informative and confident. Tim jumped with the other gal and he was so much fun to watch and listen to. Two different personalities that made for the perfect experience. It was an incredible adventure. Out of this world rad. I would recommend it to anyone. Great company. I'd totally go back to them if I ever decided to fall out of a plane again. read more

Let me start off by saying, like all the rest, I am deathly afraid of heights. I once stood at the top of a tiny waterfall for over an hour, debating on whether to jump or not, while 9 year olds were flying off with no thought. In the end, I didn't jump because I'm that much of a wimp. I did get awful sunburn on my shoulders though. Skydiving with these guys didn't have me scared for one moment. Our jump was scheduled at 2 pm but we had received an email around noon that we were on a 1 hour delay due to low clouds. It was nice to get advance notice! So, we arrived there at 3 and filled out paperwork. Then we waited, not too long considering they were on a delay. *be warned, the appointment time is not your jump time!* Getting harnessed up, we met the men who would be in charge of our lives, Sam and Larry. Both were friendly and talkative and made us feel at ease with everything. We opted for the video package and I haven't seen it yet (we just dived today) but I know it'll be amazing - like the jump! After getting prepped, we got in their truck and drove over to the air field where our plane was waiting. It's tiny so be prepared to be squished! After flying for what seemed like ages, my instructor, Sam, gave me my goggles, opened the door and told me to put my feet out. All I can remember after that is falling, laughing, smiling and then the chute opening. It was all so seamless that my mind didn't have time to be afraid! Sam definitely made me feel at ease as well. They even let you control the parachute for a bit! To cut this short, if you're having reservations about skydiving - do it with these guys. They'll make you feel at home, laugh you out of a plane and help you cross one more thing off your bucket list. :) Y'all are the best! read more

Amazing people who went beyond to meet our expectations with their services to us and our friend Pawel. Thank you all for that. And if you are thinking about using them , please do.

I've given myself a couple days and I still can't seem to find the words to describe my experience, other than absolutely incredible. This was the most amazing experience I've ever had and my only hope is that everyone can experience this feeling at least once in their life. All of my expectations were exceeded and I loved everyone I came into contact with at Phoenix Area Skydiving. I can't thank Tim enough for being so great. He was personable and made me feel comfortable and calm even though I was a nervous wreck. He had my full trust and I wouldn't have wanted anyone else strapped to my back jumping out of a plane. Sam was also great and definitely added to my experience as well. It just so happened that we were the last jumps of the day and we unexpectedly caught the sunset which was insane! We had such a beautiful view and the moment my feet hit the ground, I wanted to go right back up. I can already say I'm 120% addicted and I truly cannot wait to do it again. Thank you to everyone at Phoenix Area Skydiving for this incredible experience, I will absolutely be back! :) Oh, and I definitely recommend purchasing photos and/or video! I don't know how the hell they do it, but the photos turned out so perfect and the emotions captured are priceless! read more

So this is a review from 2 years ago for my birthday. Didn't use Yelp then, but just went paragliding which triggered the thought to write the review. Our mid morning jump time got pushed to early morning around 7am due to weather conditions. We did have a small wait as 2 people go up at a time, but understandable due to weather conditions. Actually didn't mind the wait too much as we talked with the people that had just jumped and watched their videos. Funny enough a son was taking his mom for her birthday. The flight up was fun and filled with anticipation as this was my first jump. I believe we jumped from 10,000 feet. The moment they opened the door is when everything gets serious. You get to do a front flip out of the plane and then a bunch of spins during free fall. Can't remember the guys names as it was two years ago, but they made it a fun birthday experience. I still watch my video from time to time. read more

Wow wow wow!! Amazing time. Thank you Tim and Andrew for an unforgettable time. These guys were so chill but professional. A must do if you're in the area!!!! read more

First time diver!!! This was the best experience I can imagine when it comes to skydiving!! The instructors were great and I had an amazing time. He was patient with me while I was on the brink of completely freaking out!! The plane we got in was a little old and I probably wouldn't have agreed to get in it had I not had a parachute attached to me :) I would recommend Phoenix Area Skydiving to anyone who wants to jump our of a perfectly good airplane!!! read more

What an awesome stop to spend a few hours! Had a DELICIOUS burger and salad in the bar while watching a dvd of a lady's 50th birthday first skydive. Then spent a couple hours watching people from around the world skydiving. Couldn't believe how fast the pros come zooming in! Take your favorite lawn chair, sunglasses, sun screen and binoculars for a relaxing afternoon. read more

Bought the PAS Groupon and regret it. Terrible customer service on the phone, and no email response to my questions. Tried to reserve 2 slots for tandems on Easter with four days in advance, they told me all slots were booked for 3 months, and weekdays were filled for 3 weeks. Went on their website and it showed slots open all day under Parachutes Over Phoenix (not sure the connection or affiliation). Other posts on their Facebook timeline show the same problem, yet when paying for the Groupon it doesn't make it very apparent that there will be so many complications. Highly recommend avoiding the Groupon. Just go to Eloy and see the guys at Skydive AZ. They won't mislead you like this and their operation is larger and more efficient! -J read more

Awesome way to start the morning!! Sam was awesome. We had a blast. My first jump of what will be many!! Thanks guys for the great experience. Go see them!! read more

This was an amazing experience I took part in for my birthday and I don't regret it one bit. The team at Phoenix area skydiving was welcoming and a treat to work with. They answered questions, made me feel comfortable, and my tandem instructor, Sam, was a complete pro. From the moment I signed my waivers to the second my feet touched safely back on the ground, their team was unparalleled. If you're a little crazy and want to make sure you get home safe ( after willfully exiting an aircraft at 10,000 feet), choose their company. Don't wait. read more

OK, so here I am, 57 years old. Getting up there in years, but don't really feel my age. What's a guy to do? Hey I know... Lets go skydiving. I had been thinking of this for a few months and low and behold, I get a Groupon coupon for Phoenix Area Skydiving. So on the appointed day, the Mrs. and I head on out to Casa Grande and meet Randy. He is one of the main guys there. He has me fill out about 10 or 20 pages of waivers. I then get to meet my jump partner, Sasha. Now Sasha is a pretty laid back, wild haired, mid 20 something. As we wait for the plane to refuel, we chat and I get pretty comfortable with him. He may be young, but he has experience. We go out to the runway and board old blue, which I think is a Cessna 172. We get up to about 12000 feet and jump. Now remember I am no spring chicken. I was sitting next to the door, but when strapped to Sasha, I got one leg out, and could not bend the other far enough to get it out. Sasha grabbed it, helped it out the door and we jumped. This is such an awesome location to jump! And these guys were great. I had jumped before, but I think first timers would feel pretty much at ease jumping here. If you are considering jumping, try these guys. I am sure you will like. PS. If you do jump, buy the video package! read more
