    Skydive

    First time skydiver. Mike was my tandem expert. Brent was my husbands. They waited for the skies to clear and boy did it. The crew was great with communication. Positive feel all around. Always checking on me and other novice flyers. Didn't feel the need to be nervous. These guys love what they do. In turn now I love this. Hope to do it again.

    Went to World skydiving center to watch a friend tandem jump for her 50th and watched a guy named Chris treat my friend horribly. Guy was a complete jerk right before her jump. The way he spoke with her was completely unacceptable! I do appreciate the thoroughness in checking safety, however If I was even thinking about doing this, it would never be with this company! Chris needs an attitude adjustment immediately if they want new or return customers. Chris, I get you're doing your job, but you just don't treat people like that no matter what is going on in your own head!

    So you're supposed to just trust the man strapped to you, that you have known all of ten minutes. You have to trust him with your life. And I actually did. I have wanted to sky dive forever, and was too heavy for a long while. Then I went and it rained. Well..this past Saturday the sun was out in full force, and I was about to jump out of a plane. HOLY EFF. The waiting time made me a little more nervous than I was to begin with, and it was like a thousand degrees out. Then it was time to get into a harness situation and meet the person that was going to take me for the ride of my life. I jumped with Eric, and somehow I felt like I wasn't going to die once I met him. He made some conversation and asked questions all while explaining what was going to happen and telling me it was going to be awesome. After saying goodbye to my friends aka the ground crew, I was walking towards a super small plane, getting some last minute direction and then getting in. This plane is crazy tiny. There were four grown men and myself all smooshed in there. The flight was nice, just looking around mostly. I did start laughing to myself at something and I think the instructor thought I was crying! When you get the goggles on and the door is open..I was somehow not really that nervous anymore, and we just...fell into the sky. The drop is like nothing I can even describe. The air is rushing so fast that your teeth get dry, I was screaming and laughing and then poof-you feel the parachute open and you're just floating..you're floating around in the sky. The view is out of this world, and it seems so quiet. I can see myself wanting to do this over and over again. When I noticed that the ground was quickly approaching I started to worry about the landing process, and then Eric talked me through it and it was a piece of cake. Just lift your feet up and coast on in. It was then that I noticed my shoe laces had come untied, and I thought, oh no I'm gonna lose my shoe-don't worry I didn't! I landed and could not stop laughing. I got unharnessed and headed inside to wait for my video and pictures, which were given to me on a flash drive. From booking to landing on the ground, this was an outstanding experience. You will feel like your'e driving into the middle of nowhere, but just follow the gravel road. The staff is all really welcoming, considering they are total badasses that do this all day. Thank you so much Eric, I would recommend you to anyone that might be a little nervous about jumping, you are the bees knees, and thank you World Skydiving Center for this wonderful experience!!

    First time doing this, both my adult daughter and myself (I'm 59 yrs old). Our instructors were low key and wonderful. Can't remember their names; I think mine was Mark. Or Mike. Lol. Too much going on to worry about names. But they were great, as was everyone there. The experience was terrifying (leaving the plane), exhilarating (free fall), and beautiful & peaceful (once the chute opened). Anyone who is considering doing this? Yes!! An experience you will never forget. And World Skydiving Center is the place to do it.

    I took my very first jump this past Monday with Mike. It was an incredible experience!! Mike gave clear instructions on what I needed to do, and he took care of the rest. Everyone was wonderful to work with. I can't wait to go back and jump again!

    This place and there people are amazing. First off, I didn't read the paperwork or bold print stating you have to be under 250 lbs so when I signed up my husband who is over that limit he could not go. The contract is non refundable but instead of losing the money altogether, they gave him a year to lose the weight and come back. Needless to say, he lost the weight and we came back to redo his birthday present a year ago. We both were first-timers and did a tandem jump with Mike and Erick and they were great! They made us feel comfortable and told us what to expect. I myself was petrified to the point of almost crying and I can't explain to you how that feeling in itself turned into such an amazing experience that I would totally do it again with these guys. I recommend the video for sure but either way, I recommend doing your first jump or any jump at World Skydiving Center. I saw them teaching people how to jump solo and if you're a thrill seeker, check them out first!

    Booked a tandem jump with video for my husband's birthday. They were super helpful, efficient, and he had a blast. No doubt he will be back.

All of the instructors and videographers were awesome and fun. I was lucky enough to have Art as my instructor. He's absolutely the best! So funny and cool. He made sure I had the best, most adrenaline fueled birthday ever!! I've done a lot of industrial health and safety work and I appreciated how Art and everyone else were constantly checking and double checking equipment, altitude, and time; and worked like a well oiled team - I felt no worries. I highly recommend purchasing the video package if it's your first jump. Scotty was my videographer and he did an amazing job! Those videographers are really crazy! I received a link to my video package within hours and love the amazing video they sent. Of course I've shared it with everyone I know!! But what really surprised me was the number of high quality photos they sent as well. So worth the money! Personally, I think you'd be crazy to jump the first time and not get the video/pictures. They sent me a link for a discounted second skydive and as soon as I get my taxes filed I'm taking advantage of it! If you're thinking about skydiving for the first time, go to Skydive Palatka, they will take good care of you!!

I was rudely informed that customers are expected to "plan on waiting hours to get their turn." It appears that this is actually a first come - first served operation. I was informed that, if I didn't like it, we could go somewhere else. We did! I've been involved in Army airborne operations for over 30 years and find Skydive Palatka unsatisfactory. I was, however, able to recover my credit card deposit. NO, I would NOT recommend Skydive Palatka. CW/5 Joe T. U.S. Army (Ret)

However, I didn't mind spending a few hours playing with owner and confidante, Bucky the chihuahua. Please be advised your jump may be reschedule a couple of times and that is clearly stated in the confirmation email. I appreciate that they would rather jump in perfect conditions. Tameka who does the scheduling is incredibly friendly and provided humor which perfectly set the tone for the day. We arrived today at promptly 9:45 am and within 20 minutes the boyfriend and friend were on the plane and then in the air. Watching from the ground was incredibly cool and a staff member came out to explain what was going on, when to expect them to jump, and made us feel really welcome. The entire staff here is really friendly, and the overall experience was magnificent. I really appreciated the professionalism and the laid back attitude the staff had. This is the only place I would consider if I were to skydive, as long as Bucky is there. Ps he likes turkey jerky.
