What jumpers are saying

Skydiving has been a bucketlist item for me for a long time. For my son's 18th birthday (his idea) we finally decided to make it a reality. As a first time skydiver, I can't begin to describe what the experience was like... there simply are no words other than to say you will have never done anything like it in your life. GO DO IT! Our instructors (Mazik and Eric) were incredible. They made sure we knew exactly what was going to happen and guided us through the entire process. It takes quite a bit of trust and faith to voluntarily push one's self out of a plane at 18000 feet, these guys made my son and me feel as prepared as possible. This was a really great and unique experience. I would highly recommend PNW Skydiving to anybody who is looking to change their life.

My mom and I went for her birthday, We Dove with Doug and Ben! Personally speaking, for it being my first jump it was by far the greatest experience I have ever had! And out of the few times that my mother has gone she says that was probably the best one she’s done yet. We had such an amazing time! Trust, I will be there again 100%

I had an absolute blast jumping with PNW Skydiving, and now I am hooked. My Tandem instructor, Tiny Eric, was super jacked, ridiculously handsome, and so hilarious. He made me feel completely at ease. I would trust my life with him forever. Scott, the pilot couldn't have been sweeter. And Kevin - just try to find a more charming or involved owner at a DZ you can't. Thank you PNW Skydiving for an experience I will never forget ❤️

I had my very first tandem skydive with Pacific Northwest Sky Diving, and it was absolutely incredible from start to finish! As a first-timer, I was excited but definitely nervous — and the entire team made me feel completely safe, comfortable, and confident. From the moment I arrived, the staff was friendly, professional, and organized. My tandem instructor Ben was amazing — calm, knowledgeable, and clearly very experienced. They explained everything thoroughly, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt ready before we even got on the plane. The jump itself was beyond anything I could have imagined. The freefall was an adrenaline rush like no other, and once the parachute opened, the views were breathtaking and peaceful. It was the perfect balance of thrill and beauty. I felt secure the entire time and was able to truly enjoy the experience. If you're thinking about skydiving for the first time, I highly recommend Pacific Northwest Sky Diving. They turned what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into one of the most exciting and empowering moments of my life. I can’t wait to go again! Thank you for an unforgettable adventure! 🪂
