Working with Suffolk Skydive was a five-star experience. From the initial online application to the final 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. read more

Amazing experience! I went for my first time skydiving and felt so safe and excited throughout the entire experience. Already ready to jump again!! read more

Instructors were great (always felt safe and secure), front desk not so much. When we arrived (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. read more

I did my very first skydive yesterday with Skydive Suffolk... and baby, when I tell you it was one of the BEST decisions I've ever made, I mean that! From the moment I arrived, the entire team was professional, patient, and made me feel completely safe. It was a tandem jump (yes, attached to a pro because listen... we're not doing anything halfway ), and the experience from takeoff to landing was absolutely unforgettable. The adrenaline, the peace in the air, the view... whew! If it's been on your bucket list, consider this your sign--GO DO IT. You will not regret it. read more

Everything about Suffolk Skydive is amazing. From the instructors to the office staff, they are top notch! I've jumped tandem twice, and already purchased my next jump for this summer. read more

Not knowing what gifts to get for each other for our anniversary, we decided to go skydiving! My husband talked about how incredible his first jump was in South Carolina, so I knew he'd want to do it again. We found Skydive Suffolk from my sister in law who has been twice so far. Based on their Yelp and Google reviews, I felt safe enough to come here. I got paired with David and honestly I'm so glad I did. From the moment he introduced himself, all the way to our goodbyes, he gave off a very warm and calming aura. He made me feel safe and was honestly just such a nice guy. My husband ended up getting me the hand cam addition and while the angles are incredibly unflattering (LOL) it was nice to watch it back and share it with my older kids. I also shared it with some close friends and family and they all commented on how cool my instructor was, thanks David! I'm not going to lie, this was incredibly scary and exhilarating at the same time. IF I get coerced into going again, I'd come back here easily! read more

One of my friends mentioned he would like to skydive....I called him and said I am signed up for 11/24/24 and you have no excuses because I already signed up and let's get it done. My instructor was Jo Jo and man I wanted to make him my friend on first meeting. He was fun, instructional, funny and safety was always first. My friend's instructor kept him calm and safe, and he had the best time of his life! Jo Jo... you were awesome!!! When you asked if I wanted to try some tricks, I said yes and I want more!!! I know you do this every day, but you having fun made me have more fun!!! I can't thank you enough for the experience and I will come again and want you to see how much farther we can go.

Amazing experience, friendly instructors, got my video back only 4 hours after leaving!

Loved, from beginning to end!! Took my dad for his 70th birthday and the whole staff was respectful and treated him like the sweet special person he is. If it's your first time going, recommend having food available for after diving as coming off the rush of falling you may need food, like we did. read more

Skydive Suffolk - Stacie was awesome! Can't wait to go back!! - Skydiving Near Me - Suffolk, Virginia

I have thought about skydiving for years and finally did it for my 50th birthday. It was a phenomenal experience. I wish I'd done it sooner. Scheduling on the website was incredibly simple. When I arrived, the signs were easy to follow to the office. The lady at the desk was friendly and had me watch a video and sign some forms. She advised me someone would find me in a few minutes and walk me through the jump process. I was free to walk around and watch the people packing the parachutes and talk to other jumpers. My instructor Tyler found me soon after that. He got me hooked into the harness and explained how the jump would work. I had a brief interview for my video and waited for the group ahead of me to return. Tyler explained the jump sequence again just before we boarded the plane and one last time before we jumped. Tyler's exuberance made the entire experience even better. He was professional and enthusiastic about making my day special. The video and photos are definitely worth it. I even got a really cool completion certificate. I already want to go again. read more

Did a tandem for my 56th birthday weekend. Noah was my instructor and guide. Very professional and great guy. It was surreal to hurl yourself out of the airplane but the ride was awesome. read more

Scheduled my first tandem skydive here for my birthday, unfortunately due to weather I had to reschedule (which was super easy!). Upon my return, I brought my parents and best friend along for the adventure. My mother couldn't jump due to a shoulder injury, but my father and friend jumped with me. WOW, what an experience and what a company to have our first jumps with. These people are great and make you feel so comfortable and guarantee you have a fun and memorable experience. I would definitely jump with these guys again, they're worth the price! They also offer discounts for military and students so don't forget to ask. read more

The BEST place to skydive. Easy process, in and out quickly....everyone was so friendly and welcoming. JUST DO IT! It's worth every penny!

I offered the owner $20000 to buy his almost 20 year old truck. His asking price was $16,800 which means I was feeling generous. He ignored all my attempts to contact him. Not very professional. read more

We had an awesome experience with Suffolk Skydive this past weekend! I surprised my boyfriend for his birthday, we didn't make a reservation but walked right in and only had to wait 30 mins until we were up in the sky! Our Tandem jump instructors were awesome and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thanks Guys! read more

Best DZ ever! Everyone was friendly and professional. What a great way to spend a weekend! My instructor, Alberto, was amazing and soooo sweet-he knew I was nervous. And my video guy, Doug, made the whole experience even better. read more

There isn't one bad thing I can say about this place!! I went skydiving here for my 29th birthday. I made sure to thoroughly review their website for any and all information before I went so I would have a little knowledge about what to expect. Their website is full of all the info you could ever need. Once we got there, they were very accommodating to my "party". I brought my husband, 3 children, best friend, and her fiancé. They all wanted to see me jump and S2 had no problems with them being there! My instructor Stacey was nothing short of fantastic! He made me feel at ease, told jokes to calm my nerves, and basically knew (without me telling him) the kind of experience I wanted and made sure it happened! The pictures and video I received were also AMAZING! I've told everybody about them and even have a few friends that are now wanting to jump. read more

Great experience, felt comfortable with the tandem jumper's knowledge and always nice to do something different for a date day. I would definitely go and jump again (when it gets a little warmer)! read more

My boyfriend and I decided to celebrate our anniversary by going skydiving! The staff here really made us feel special; taking extra time to get to know us, why we were there, and making sure it was a celebration. Everyone was very friendly and professional, they really made us feel comfortable every step of the way! Special thanks to Jason and Katie(?) for being our tandem instructors.. you're awesome! I will always recommend this to anyone who asks. Definitely an amazing lifelong memory! read more

You just follow the signs back to the hangar once you get to the airport and you'll see all the divers prepping for their jump, and you'll instantly get a good vibe. Everyone is extraordinarily friendly and they are true experts in their field who want nothing more than for you to have the best experience possible. If you have the money and the will to skydive I truly recommend going here, you'll have an unforgettable experience. read more

Thanks for a great first tandem jump experience. Nice facility and staff. Would highly recommend them for anyone interested in trying out skydiving. read more

Great experience. Booked a tandem jump for my sons 18th birthday. I highly recommend the video! We will definitely be back.

I've been skydiving for over 20 years and have seen a few different drop zones. Skydive Suffolk is an exceptional drop zone, it is a family owned drop zone and you can see the Manthy family represented all over the dz. From the store, to the video editing and administrative sections of the organization. They have some very experienced instructors and staff. The planes are well maintained and the student program is run exceptionally well. It is a good place to be a student or a sport jumper and if it is your day for a tandem, you will have a good time. Highly recommended! read more

I only started skydiving at Skydive Suffolk in August 2014 (2 years after getting into the sport), and I am now driving as often as I can from Washington DC to jump there. It is by far the friendliest DZ around. Awesome organizers, instructors, coaches, staff, DZO, manager, regular jumpers, etc.... Everybody is friendly and willing to help new jumpers. And don't get me started about their landing areas.... Huge!!! I highly recommend it. Love it! Now if only Mike could get that helicopter to pick me up in DC every Friday evening and get me back on Sunday evening, it would be absolutely perfect! read more
