skydive alabama

This was my first time jumping the guy was very confident and funny. He made sure everything was done and checked twice and told me everything every step of the way! Very pleased and will do again!

I was going to give this 4 stars, because of the location, but I had so much fun the entire time, and it made for great stories!The owner is from South Africa, and was great to talk to about the adventure life in South Africa! The entire crew was very experienced, and were all friendly.I went during the week, without an actual reservation, and it was no problem. Unfortunately for me though, they don't use the bigger plane during the weekdays, due to extra fuel costs for not enough passengers, so I rode in the extra rusty biplane (which bothered me a lot less than it possibly should have oO).We flew to about 10,000 feet, and then we jumped! Free-falling at 140 mph is quite exhilarating, to say the least. Parachuting is also wonderful, and the tandem jumper will do some cool stalls and spins if you ask him to! I paid an extra $100 to get a video made and a lot of still pictures. I really wanted the video at the time, but I actually enjoyed the pictures more, and I'll never forget my experience! I went in March or April of 2011. It was about $200 for the tandem jump, and an extra $100 for video/stills.
