What jumpers are saying

My only second time skydiving in AZ and Skydive Arizona was such a great experience! The facility and grounds alone are more than what you would expect. The staff were very kind and welcoming. My tandem instructor Dae is awesome, informative and was very open with me on what to experience. She easily managed the tandem parachute and my 6’2” ass like it was nothing! I also had the pleasure of Wayne as my photographer/videographer that took amazing photos and video to capture the moment. Can’t wait to jump again!

I recently went for my first skydive. It was absolutely the best experience I’ve had in my entire life. Huge shoutout to Ty Freegard who was my tandem instructor he was amazing. Very friendly and funny and made the experience so delightful. It shows he loves his job and does a wonderful job and educated me throughout the whole process and had a smile the entire time. Another shoutout to Mikey Wright was my videographer and he did an amazing job with the videos and photos. I look at them everyday because of how amazing they have come out and try to show everyone I know. I’ve truly enjoyed every moment and I definitely look forward to coming again very soon. 10/10.

Absolutely loved my experience tandem skydiving at SDAZ! My TI, Gena, and photographer, Todd were so good about explaining the process and what to expect. It was hands down the most amazing experience I’ve had yet in life. Loved it so much, I can’t wait to take the Accelerated Skydive Program there!
