My brother and I surprised our dad with a skydiving adventure for his birthday and Father's Day…read more When we arrived, the staff at Skydive CNY were friendly and welcoming. We went through a short training and geared up. Only 2 tandems can go up at a time so my dad and I went up first. My dad decided to jump first. FYI - this means you sit right next to the pilot and you can't really see much of anything on the climb up to 13k feet. The climb was terrifying. The little Cessna bounced around pretty good until we got above the clouds. My tandem instructor was Kevin. He was fantastic. He knew how to keep me calm through some pretty visible nerves. Plus he actually got me to jump out of the plane!! This was the most incredible experience of my life and I want to do it again. Thanks to SkydiveCNY for the best time ever.

We came here on a recommendation and oh my goodness i could not recommend it more!!! They honestly…read moretreat you like family here, they are all super friendly people and make you feel at home!!! We originally scheduled it for last sunday but had to reschedule because of weather and it was the smoothest rescheduling & they were super nice & organized it!!! I had not one nervous bone in my body yet my instructor (Jer) made sure i was 1000% comfortable!! They have such a quick and easy process to learn and guide you even more when your up there/answer absolutely any questions you have) Myself having a back issue, the owner (mike- who is one of the nicest people i have met) came and double checked with me/ran through the process with anything during the jump that could possibly hurt my back (i was fine!!!)! They are so thorough, thoughtful and genuine people!! Oh & they all have amazing personalities to top it off!! Thank you skydive cny for making my first skydiving experience unforgettable!! I will 100% be back!!

Had a great time, everyone was super professional. Our flight took us over Ithaca and out on to…read moreCayuga Lake then over Cornell where we gently landed in a field. your path might be different with wind patterns. The basket was comfortable, very well maintained, clearly cared for and in top shape. The team drove us back from our landing location to our cars in a new and comfortable van. Overall a wholly pleasant experience and a great way to spend a few hours in the morning or afternoon, best planned a couple days before.

The best experience I could have asked for. John and Kay along with their son Quinn were…read moreprofessional and warm in way that can't be described. We were a big group and they kept us focused when they needed to and indulged our endless questions and jokes. If you are in the area and want to skydive I would 100% recommend them. Also skydiving is awesome. If you are thinking "maybe I want to do that" definitely do it!

*WARNING* *WARNING*…read more I jumped here last year.. A birthday present from my gf, my parents, my brothers, and gf parents and family.. Most of them came to watch the jump. Long story short the first parachute didn't deploy and when he cut the chute free, which I didn't know was happening, my heart about exploded from fear. Second chute thankfully opened but we were way off course and very few places to (crash) land.. Both legs were hurt back was pinched and we were miles away from the airport. My gf and entire family were back at the airport scared I was dead, thankfully I was not but I was hurting. Barely got an apology and whole experience for me and my family ruined. They were so excited they bought me a wonderful gift and it turned to terror.. Not very professional and sorry to say another parachute accident just happened there.

I really don't want to trivialize something as dangerous as jumping out of a plane with a sheet of…read morenylon the size of your living room being your only means of living... but when I'm reviewing places like this, I have to be cognizant that all drop zones follow USPA guidelines, use almost the same regulated equipment, and utilize similar planes and drop heights. So what makes them different? What makes them stand out from the rest? Usually for a first time jumper, it comes down to 3 major things: Price, Comfort, and Surviving. Most people rave about a drop zone solely on the latter, and given this is my 3rd rodeo and I haven't died yet, I hope to give my analysis with confidence and clarity: Environment: The Perry Warsaw airport was very spacious well-kept piece of land. We were situated at the hangar furthest west, and it was very well kept and decently organized. The majority of the place was carpeted, and the suits, equipment, and parachute staging area was impressive. From 10,500 down the view was absolutely gorgeous and the placement of the drop zone was easy to identify. Customer Service/Price: For a tandem, the jump was reasonably priced and you get a price break for paying cash. Also, they only require a $50 deposit for booking your jump. At other zones they would want the full price up front. That's quite a bit of change you're throwing away if the weather or airplane conditions don't allow a jump that day. Very cool of them to do that. When we first came I had apprehensions because no one really saw us when we came in; people were busy with their tasks and didn't pay us any mind. The first people to approach us were other customers and I still had no idea who I was to talk to to get our tandems going. After a few minutes of chewing the fat, a staff member let us to meet Sue and Jim who handled our training and paperwork. Comfort: Our instructor was a stand up and personable guy. He was very focused on safety and making sure we were comfortable with the jump and our training. He had no qualms with going over things multiple times and was very advocate of relaxation and awareness. Among all the instructors I've had in the past, I have to admit he was the most thorough. In our plane ride up, we reviewed the tasks needed for my T-2 jump and kept the training going up until that plane door popped open. Other Notes: -We only had 1 instructor that day, so it bottle-necked our jumps and had us stay a lot longer than planned. Jim was really a trooper and did his best to get me and my friends up in the air as soon and safe as possible. -Some of the training I had on site sometimes conflicted, overlapped, or was kind of sporadic. I do acknowledge and understand that there's no such thing as too much training and safety is priority. I respect that a lot, my life is pretty much on the line. It probably would have been preferred to stick with 1 person for training the entire day than to bounce back and forth for consistency. -Part of my training involved writing a detailed report of my experiences and actions from falling out of the plane up until the landing to test my memory and awareness during such a adrenaline induced event. Pretty cool thing to have me do, and also emphasizes their commitment to safety and growth of their jumpers. -I had absolutely the smoothest landing I've ever had on a jump. Kudos! In all: If you have the mettle for something like Skydiving, I highly recommend this spot! It's an experience like none other!

I showed up here to make my first skydive and then a month later had my license, the staff helped…read moreme in every way possible and made my dreams come true. Not only this but absolutely every question I had was answered. They insured I felt safe and every time I went up on the plane my gear was triple-checked, not only by myself but by the amazing staff. Every jump went smoothly and whenever I got on the ground they made sure they broke everything down and showed me what I was doing right and wrong. 10/10 would recommend this place to all skydivers and those looking to make their first jump.
