Jenna Brooks

I just wanted to say Thank You to all of you guys at Phiadelphia Skydiving Center. We
had a group of 25 jumpers there this weekend from our sorority. It was part of our rush and we all had an awesome time. We would like to thank Darin and Darryl for giving all of us a wonderful and exciting first jump. I don't think that any of us and quit talking about it since. Also, thank you to all the video guys who video our jumps so that we can relive it as often as we like. We are planning our next trip from Newark back to Philly as soon as possible. Thank you all again.

Here's the deal. it took me until my 34th birthday to finally realize just how great this
whole adventure really is! I don't think I could have picked a better facility to do this. Just as soon as I "hit" the ground, I immediately wanted to go back, so I will probably continue on with the rest of the seven jumps. I purchased the video that was offered and that camera man knows his work too! I was accompanied by Darrin and Aaron. They were just great. Very professional and courteous! Fantastic is all I can say about my experience. Thanks a whole lot.

I thought you might find it amusing to know that, after having a great time on my first skydive Saturday and no injuries. completely and totally safe! I went snow skiing the next day (something I've been doing for 30+ years), broke my nose and ended up in the ER. So much for definitions of dangerous sports! Thanks for a GREAT experience! I'll definitely be back!

Sammie Wise

I went skydiving today and I just wanted to thank you guys so much. I had such an awesome time and I fulfilled one of my life-long dreams. I want to give a special thanks to Darrin, the guy I was attached to, for being patient with me. It was a BLAST, thanks! It was so exciting, and now I am the talk of all the kids/parents at church and school. I hope I will be able to come back during the summer! I'll tell everybody back in Washington, DC exactly where they need to go for the time of their life!

Bert Reinhart

Thanks for the great memories. There were 8 of us this past Sunday morning at @ 10:00 a.m. had an incredible time. We found your staff to be most helpful and professional. I never imagined that jumping out of an airplane could have such a positive effect on my state of mind. I will be sure to tell everyone from my home in Delaware how great you people are! Wow! You will see us again. Keep up the good work.

Louie Rosa

I usually go skydiving in New York and wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed my time at your facilities. They were clean and very comfortable, great packing conditions. The aircraft (King Air) is quite an impressive plane. I was shocked how fast we got to altitude (14,900 ft wow!). The thing that impressed me the most about visit was the people, I know the south has been long known for their warm people, but the overall kindness and openness that was shown to me during my short stay was something I won't forget. You have a great DZ, and I hope to visit again real soon, as well as recommending your DZ to anyone.

Lauren Hamlin

Hi Everyone! Thank you for the wonderful rush and fabulous time at Skydive Philadelphia. It was my first time jumping! Totally righteous! I am from New York and let me tell you, it was worth the drive. My jump partner made the experience something that I will never forget!

Monica Ronquillo

I just wanted to say thank you so much for the time of my life! My boyfriend Daniel and I enjoyed our dives so much! Trust that we will be seeing you again SOON! Wanted to give a special thanks to the trainers for their most excellent teaching methods, and the fun & security they handed us on a silver platter! We have actually decided to go through your program and learn to skydive! I personally can't wait to get started. As a first jumper, because of your "T Masters", I had no fear at all, not even nervous! It was indeed the single most exciting moments of my life. I can easily see myself getting addicted! Thought I would send a few photos you guys took for us! Enjoy, see you soon! Oh yea, I can't forget to thank the videographers for the awesome video and photos!

Quintin Mince

What a rush!!! Better than "anything I did" back in my college days, and all natural!!!! After my three jumps yesterday and graduating from the AFF program, I was pumped to the max. I didn't sleep much last night as I was re-living the jumps over and over in my mind. Thanks to all of you for the support, encouragement, superb instruction and professionalism. From day one I have never doubted my safety in your program. Your staff and associates are first class. I now live to skydive... party on.

Michael Mayer

I just wanted to write and let you all now I thought my experience was awesome. I'm from Baltimore, Maryland and I have never in my life have I had such a thrill. I am planning on adding skydiving to my budget!!! Aaron really made my experience memorable. He kept me calm during the flight (which was the worst part) by explaining exactly what would be happening and when. Your well trained and expert staff are terrific. I look forward to my first solo!!!!

Mimi Johnson

I have to thank you all for the life changing experience I shared with you last weekend. Especially, Aaron and Darrin for all they did. I had been waiting for many years to Skydive and I must thank my best friend, for sharing the weekend with me. We experienced a weekend I will never forget. You have a great facility and a great staff that all helped to make my first dive a memorable one, as well as spark an interest in me for more. We made a lot of new friends. From your drop zone especially. there were so many fun people there! Thank you for wonderful time and I look forward to spending more time with you all. I think you all started a trend in me!

Erin Wayer

On July 23rd, I took my Level I AFF Skydive and my first skydive every for that matter, at Skydiving Philadelphia. It was AMAZING. I just wanted to take some time now that the busy holidays are over to thank everyone for the experience. Aaron, my jumpmaster was awesome, very informative; he made me feel very comfortable about my first jump. His knowledge of the technical side was very helpful for my experience. He made it a lot of fun. He is awesome, would love to have him for my Level II. You guys have a great employee in him!!! He was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions with no problem. I learned a lot about skydiving in those 5+ hours. Yet another great employee! I look forward to seeing everyone again soon for my level II. Hang Loose!!!!

Bobby "fly" Martinez

I just wanted to thank you again for the most incredible experience of my life. Aaron's professionalism and attention to detail is a credit to your organization. Everyone there LOVE'S what they do and it really shows. All my friends have commented on the quality of the video tape and how good it looks; I highly recommend it. I can't wait to come back and do it again. You guys ROCK!

Melissa Aguilar

I just wanted to say thank you for the opportunity to have jumped out of a perfectly good airplane. It was the most Amazing experience of my entire life!! I have always been a thrill seeker, and this one definitely has been the best so far. Your friendly staff and instructors made me feel completely safe at all times. I remember feeling very nervous when I first arrived, but by the time I was called to jump, my instructor Darrin had me feeling completely at ease, so much so that we even did flips coming out of the plane! (I highly recommend this!) I have told everyone I know about you center and my jump. I will be back with several others! I look forward to seeing y'all again soon. Thank you again for the experience of a lifetime!

Calie Hanford

I did my first tandem dive this past weekend and it was incredible! I really appreciated the way I was treated at Philadelphia Skydiving Center , everyone was especially friendly and created a comfortable atmosphere where I was able to make the best of my adventure. I am interested in perusing skydiving and getting my A-license this spring. I can't wait to see you guys again.

Leslie Meyer

I went skydiving for the first time yesterday. It was the most fun I've had in forever. My tandem partner, Aaron was a blast and made the whole experience amazing! I'm so glad I bought the video; I think I've watched it 15 times already! Thanks for everything! Keep up the good work and I will definitely be back again!!!

Kelly

I wanted to write and tell you how much I enjoyed my first skydive. I recently attended the Skydiving Center on June 4, 2004 in Philadelphia and made my first tandem jump. It was such an adrenaline rush. I loved it so much that I hope to be back before too long and bring some friends with me. I would like to thank my tandem instructor, Darrin, for such a great first skydive. Not to forget the awesome job that Steve done on videoing my first jump. Thanks guys for such a great experience. Hope to be back soon,

Love to you all! Kelly Treshow

Carmen Jones

I did my first jump this past Saturday as part of my boyfriend, Martin's, 35th birthday present. I used to have this extraordinary fear of heights. But not no more! In fact, I wouldn't fly anywhere for the past ten years because of it. But thanks to my Tandem Jumpmaster, Aaron, talking me through the entire experience, I actually did it and I loved it! I was extremely nervous as I was climbing into the plane. I thought I must be mental to be doing this. But now that I did it and I have the video to play over and over again, I am completely hooked! What fear of heights! Not me. thanks guys!

Francois

This Sunday I did my first tandem jump with you guys. It certainly was an eye opening experience and it was made better by the quality of people out there at the centre. Thanks to all of you and wish you all a very happy new year. You guys are some of the best people I have ever met. Philadelphia Skydiving in Pennsylvania rules!

Brendon Bates

Hello guys! My name is Brendon. I had my first skydive on July 26^th. I wanted to let you know that I had the most intense experience of my life during the free-fall portion of my dive. Aaron (my tandem master) and the videographers are true pros (please double their salary, they are worth it). Thank you again for an excellent memory!!!

Ansalie VanGough

I just wanted to say thanks for making my first jump so memorable!!! I can't seem to find the right words to say what an awesome time I had!!!!! I didn't get to stick around so everyone could watch my video out front... but it was perfect!!!!! It had the coolest shot when I jumped out and the plane was diving behind, then under me!!!!! It was unbelievable!!!!! I can't wait to do it again... and again.......Thanks again to everyone!!!!!!!

Jeff Hamm

Thank you so much, that was the must wonderful, most fantastic experience I've had in a while. I am sure we'll be staying in touch because this is an experience that no one can deny is the ultimate. And with Skydiving Philadelphia, it's event better! You guys keep doing what you're doing as far as showing people the world from another angle.

Garret Hamlin

Thanks for an EXCITING day of Skydiving! I always wanted to do this and you made the jump very Fun and Exciting. I know that this will not be my last time, looking forward to my future jump and I would like to make my next one with you also. The flips were AWESOME. You are a wild man. Tell Darryl (did I get the name right?) Thanks again for the excellent video and pictures he took of me.

Tara Mann

Hi Aaron and Darin and everybody. Hey, what's up? This is Tara.from Washington, DC. I was just writing to say thank you so much, again. That jump was so awesome (and the video is really funny). Because of it, my friend and I are going to get our licenses from Pennsylvania skydiving Center. I think we are going to do the tandem way to do it, and then the alone jumps, just so we don't have to have our second skydive be alone. :-). Do you think that the tandem method is a good idea? Well, thanks again so much, you've helped me find something that I really love to do and really want to pursue. I'd appreciate it if you'd write back and tell me your opinion of people like me trying to be certified, and I'll probably see you around there! Thanx for showing me the true meaning of "freefall"

Jerry McClintock

My girlfriend and I were up there for our first jumps last Saturday with a bunch of people I work with. We are from Atlantic City, NJ. Wow, what a rush! You definitely have at least two new converts, who will soon be coming back to go through the entire certification course. The drive was so worth it! The directions to Philadelphia Skydiving Center was so easy to follow. See you next week!

Jayson Levon

Hello Skydiving Philadelphia !!! I made my first jump on January 10, 2004. That was two weeks ago tomorrow and I still get sweaty palms and a racing heart when I think about the experience. As I drove to the DZ., I was not sure I would be able to go through with jumping out of a plane at 14,000 feet. Upon arrival, the atmosphere immediately enveloped me. There were 100 or so people milling around, all wearing smiles looking like the cat that ate the canary. I saw many people rolling around on the floor, squeezing the air from chutes, repacking them to do it again. Everyone, staff and customers alike, were extremely nice and welcomed me into their world with open arms. As I suited up, Aaron instructed me on what would happen, how it would happen, and even when it would happen. I felt an immediate connection with Aaron, and we weren't even harnessed together yet! Darryl was video taping and his enthusiasm was inspiring. On the flight to 14,000 ft, Aaron and I continued to discuss how things would go. Having been the only first time diver on the plane, of course everyone else had to give Aaron a ration of crap to try and shake my confidence. Not a chance! The comfort level I had with Aaron, Darryl and myself made jumping from the plane a breeze. I never thought of it as jumping out of a plane, I was too busy thinking about SKYDIVING! The experience surpassed all expectations I had! I am hooked and I will be back to get my certification very soon. Two weeks later and I still feel like I did it yesterday! What a rush!!!!! Thanks again.

I wanted to let you guys know that I had the most thrilling day of my life so far. I will defiantly be back soon. Darrin was very professional, and I wanted to thank him once again, for being the one that shared in my experience. Thanks guys for an incredible day.

Carla Reyes

I did my first tandem jump last Sunday with Darrin, and it was awesome!! Darrin was very professional and made me feel extremely safe. So Darrin thanks for a great jump!

Trish Nieto

Okay, all I have to say is, if there is anything that would have changed my world around it
would be skydiving! I just recently moved from California to Georgia . Last weekend I was visiting my niece who lives in New York. ..(Okay I am homesick!) She Knew I needed to be cheered up since I was going through a pretty bad engagement break up. So besides going out to the night clubs, we decided to so something different.so we went skydiving! The guys at Skydive Pennsylvania made me feel so important and special. like I was the only one there. I just remember the "dive master" saying, "Just look this view... isn't this amazing!! I could not believe how such a serene environment could be such a thrill! People just do not know it until they try it! Thanks so much for making me feel better!
