Mom and I before the jump!!
Shelly D.

INCREDIBLE!!! This was the first jump for my mother and I and it could not have been better. We've wanted to do it for a while, and this is the best location. The team was SO friendly and fun and made the entire experience memorable. There was a group of 5 of us who went in the morning. 2 of us went up at a time, it was about a 15 minute ride up with a beautiful view of the island & ocean. The jump, free fall, and parachuting down was so fun, i felt very secure and safe. These guys have been doing it for a while so I never had any concerns. Sven, Ryan, Heather (and her dad) treated us like family and I could not have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be back. THANK YOU!!!

Wow!! Skydiving is amazing and a must do!! The staff are friendly and close knit. They make you feel very comfortable during such a crazy event. They definitely know their stuff. Everyone I spoke too was certified and the jumpers had about 17000 jumps cumulatively. The view in the plane is breathtaking and skydiving itself is a mind blowing activity. One of the best spots I could think of to try this for the first time !!

Jump OBX! No better way!

There are no words. First of all, the staff is amazing! My whole family (6 of us) jumped on 8-5-16. This was my first jump. Great training and a fun atmosphere. My instructor, Pete, was amazing. Just as we were about to jump I told him I forgot what I had to do! He said "don't worry!!!" And off we went. It was the most amazing experience of my life. Pete made me feel relaxed and took an amazing video of me. The landing was smooth and the view was terrific. I wanted to jump again! Just remember to breathe and take it all in!

Look at those clouds!

6/24/20   This…read moremorning I had a chance to ride on a friend's private plane. Here at Manteo Airport, you can have private airplanes, $15 tours our do sky diving....sorry parachuting.  But John, what's the difference? In short, "the main difference between skydiving and parachuting is that in skydiving, we freefall before deploying our parachutes, and in parachuting, we deploy the parachute straight away." Carl took us on a free tour of the area.  I saw the Ocracoke Lighthouse from the air, but now I feel it was the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse because of the black strips.  If I am wrong, than it is the  Bodie Island Lighthouse. Either way, I want to visit this lighthouse, because it is one I have not visited yet. Flying inside of the plane was one of the most relaxing experiences I have had.  I enjoyed hearing the lingo of the pilot and radio tower.  It's a world with a world when you start cracking jokes with the tower. I also noticed how warm the plane got when we were sightseeing.  If we ever jump out of an airplane...and we will, I enjoy doing it with my wife. Seeing the people from 2,500 feet up is an amazing experience.   Jumping out of an airplane from that height will be a test of all tests...this far Great times for 35 minutes of flying.

We had a short introductory flight with Larry. Although we did not reserve beforehand, they fit us…read moreinto their schedule. The day gave perfect flying conditions and we got some great shots! He was very patient with my five year old, and explained the views wonderfully. I will do it again next time I'm in town.

Working with Suffolk Skydive was a five-star experience. From the initial online application to the…read morefinal jump, they were extremely professional. Their website clearly outlines their fees, their guidelines, and their procedures. When I had questions about the weather and the video packages, they answered the phone and quickly responded to my questions and concerns. A few days prior to the experience, they emailed me with instructions, noting the need to watch the safety and procedures video. Once the day arrived for my skydive, I arrived and was quickly greeted by staff. The check in was quick and easy. I then met my expert skydiver, Matt Allen, who was absolutely amazing. He clearly explained the procedures and then harnessed me up for the ride of a lifetime. The staff informed us that there would be a slight delay because of cloud coverage that day. For the novice, this was a very comforting thing. I can not stress enough how fantastic Matt Allen was on this journey, from the pre-flight training to the actual freefall to the smooth landing. I also purchased the picture and video package to commemorate this occasion. My videographer, whose name was Mikel (at least, I think it was), did an outstanding job with the photography and videos. The pre-interview, the in-plane activities, the freefall, and the landing were all included in the package. I am so glad that I purchased these extras. Honestly, I was so in the moment with Matt and Mikel that I didn't remember some of the parts of the experience. The pictures and especially the videos helped jog my memory and will be a great source to help me relive this journey. Thanks again to all the staff at Suffolk Skydive.

Instructors were great (always felt safe and secure), front desk not so much. When we arrived…read more(family of 3) we were told we had to split up and 1 person would have to go alone. This was our first jump and we wanted to do it together. We declined but we were told if we didn't split they wouldn't video the jump. We valued jumping together more than a video so we declined again. Come jump time, one of our instructors wore a camera, another had just filmed a previous jumper and mine put his camera away. Pretty dumb actually because they could have made another 450 bucks. We still have the memories of jumping together, they lost 450 bucks and future clients.
