Stand up landing on the beach

Finally got to go back. Edgar was an awesome man to guide us on our experience. He is right there is no accurate way to explain how much fun it is. Great staff and support from the pilot to the ground crew. The ice cold water afterwards was well needed! The views if the gulf are reason alone to skydive here.

They are the absolute best!! They make sure to explain everything to you. This was my first time skydiving I felt safe and comfortable the whole time. Memo was great at keeping me laughing along with everyone else . It was the best experience! I will be back for future jumps!

My husband and I had an amazing time skydiving with Simon and Lee! This was our very first time jumping out of an airplane, so we had absolutely no idea what to do or expect. They explained everything to us and made us feel 100% comfortable before and during our jump. I was fully expecting to go into panic mode, but having them so confident in their job was comforting....especially since we were about to jump out of a freaking plane! It was my husbands birthday and they even sang Happy Birthday to him in the plane on the way up. My favorite part was leaving the plane and the freefall. It was SUCH a rush! They also shot some great video footage and pics during the entire process. Would we do it again?? Hell yes!!! Cant wait to visit again!

It was my first time sky diving and the team made me feel at ease. Jake was great and made the whole jump a fun, exciting experience. They jump with a limited number of jumpers and jumps so you don't feel rushed during the process. The location is amazing. Getting to jump over the Gulf and land on the beach has to be a very unique sky diving experience and was awesome. I can not say enough about Sky Dive Galveston. Thank you for an amazing jump!

This experience wouldn't have been as surreal if it wasn't for the entire team there. They literally made it even more memorable than I could have ever imagined. I will continue to come back endless times! They literally made me feel like we were family! You're literally missing out if you're still here reading reviews, thinking about going! You won't regret it! Tammy, y'all rock!

Omar, Bob, and Phil were great instructors. Bob instructed our group of 8 and its was informative…read moreand very entertaining as well. You will have to fill out a super long waiver that will release the company from liability if you are injured or die, but that's standard for jumping out of a plane above 10,000ft. The plane is quite small so jumps will be done in pairs of 2 (2participants + 2instructors) and every trip is about 30 minutes (15-20 minutes climbing to the desired altitude to drop, ~1 minutes of free-falling, and ~10 minutes of floating back down to land). During the whole process from flying in the plane, during the dive, and after completion, the instructors ask how you're doing and help calm you down. The scariest part about the experience will probably be looking at the ground as you are flying up into the sky but once you reach 10,000ft altitude, you won't be able to see the ground anymore so the natural heart dropping response you get when you look down at the floor from a cliff or 3+ stories high disappears or at least greatly diminishes. The initial free-fall for me was scary but since you only feel ~1G of force at most, it doesn't feel as scary as a drop from a really high roller coaster (I definitely think roller coasters are more scary, esp. those that only keep you in with a bat that goes over your thighs). After the parachute deploys, it really tugs on your harness so be sure to arrange and secure your crotch well or it will hurt like no other. My crotch harness was very tight so the initial deployment didn't hurt, but the floating wasn't as pleasant since I was basically suspended with all the pressure at my crotch. Bob will help you situate your crotch straps to your thighs so it feels more like you are sitting on the harness after the parachute has safely deployed and it'll feel SOOOO much better. Also, Omar helped me take off my goggles and held onto my glasses so I could get the full view without the goggles blurring it which was great. The best part for me was after the parachute deploys and the instructor (Omar, Bob, or Phil for us) does spins in the air. Omar and I only did about 4 spins, but take my advice and ask them to spin as much as they want because you only get to be in the air for so long so make the most of it. P.S. Don't worry about screaming because the air will muffle it and you won't even know you're screaming. Also, NEVER CLOSE YOUR EYES or it'll be a waste :)

With a crew so lively and experienced, it's really hard to feel nervous about jumping with blue…read moreskies!! It was the first jump ever for my fiance (whom I proposed to after landing) and I, and these guys really made it a special moment for us! Very accommodating when it comes to special occasions like proposals, with before-after and in air interviews all filmed with great quality. I flew with Omar, super friendly and really made this first experience a memorable one! I plan to fly with these guys again, definitely a great group to fly with.
