    This was my first jump and the instructor made me feel very comfortable. I was nervous but one of the instructors told a joke about a corvette that made me laugh so hard that it took my mind off of the jump. When they open the door at 13500 ft it is a little intimidating because of the cold and the wind. Once out of the plane the experience was awesome. The free fall seemed kind of short but that is because your free falling at about 120 MPH. You get a pretty good jolt when the shoot opens, and it seems like you're increasing in altitude. The ride down was a beautiful view of everything. The instructor let me drive for a little while and that was pretty cool. We did a lot of circles. The landing was easy on the body which is important for a 66-year-old. All and all I had an awesome experience and will most likely do it again. David LT USN ret

    We're visiting from California and decided to jump out of a plane, this was the best experience and I definitely recommend it. The owner and employee are super tentative to any questions I had!

    If it's your first time, this is good experience. There are student and group discounts and you also get a free tshirt. I would take away one star as it's a bit far and had trouble finding the place and getting Back as I don't drive. But the experience was amazing. Instructors are super friendly and if you are experienced then well it's the best for you.

    Lo was absolutely amazing!! Sweetest girl I've ever met! I don't remember my instructors name but he was the best! I definitely want to come back!! I highly recommend buying the film at the end of your jump. Everyone was very friendly and helpful! 10/10 :)

    Without a doubt a fun, exciting, and professional outfit. From the time I arrived and greeted the pilot, my tandem partner, and especially the receptionist I was made to feel as if I were family. I can completely say that I recommend them, and I purchased the VIP package at 13k foot jump and full video and pictures. Live a little....give these guys a call and see what life experiences you haven't had yet!!

    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 :)

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.

    If you want the best views of the island I can't recommend Skydive Galveston enough! I did the…read more14,000' jump and it was magical. I can't shut up about it and as such have found out even locals don't know this exists on the island! You'll fly out of Scholes in an adorable red Cessna, enjoy the flight past the ship channel, take a right to take in the entireisland view, and before you know it, the real magic begins. The team is fantastic and will make sure you have the time of your life before peacefully setting down on the soft sand at Pocket Park 1 by Woody's. Pro (amateur!) tip: buy alllll the pix/video. You won't regret it - freefall goes so quickly it is a blur by the next day & watching the video will bring it right back! Tip two - have cash on hand tip tip your diver!! They have specials on their website and Groupon. To the amazing team at Skydive Galveston - y'all need merch!!! I'd 100% have bought a shirt, hoodie, cap, etc! To all the scaredy-cats.. I am afraid of heights (to some, natural extent) but this is different- the entire thing was incredibly peaceful, from takeoff to landing. Oh, and I just turned 55 and am in thoroughly mediocre shape. Do the thing, people, whatever that may be. We only get one go at life.

Open communication, lots of enthusiasm and just an all over good time! We arrived a tad bit early and he was on it, got us situated and pumped for the drop. Lindsey, our driver and ground person was super friendly and personable. Hung out with us while the rest of the group jumped and she made the wait just as good as the jump! Did the 10k jump this year and doing the 14k next!!!! Thank you Skydive Galveston!!!!
