A small but extremely efficient and friendly operation.

Rated by: ndlaham on 2008-09-03 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Atmosphair Skydiving Center
Pros: Amazing and Experienced Staff, Personal Setting, Extremely Safe, Pretty Close to Milwaukee and Madison
Cons: Absolutely none. I walked in with a smile and walked out with an even bigger one.

I stumbled across this place by chance when I had to postpone an earlier skydive. This was the best thing that ever happened to me.

Starting at the beginning, the training session for the tandem jump was actually pretty fun. The owner Bo keeps things in perspective and really exploits that to his jumpers. He has a great outlook on jumping, and life and shares that mentality with you. After the training you get to hang out at the hanger and talk to the staff and other jumpers. It makes for a very personal and fun experience.

Getting to know the staff too was such a treat. All of them were super friendly and pretty funny too. (Charlie) It wasn't like an assembly line where you get geared up, debriefed, and jump by 3 different people. We talked to our tandem instructors and got to know them as people before you strapped yourself to them and jumped out of the airplane.

The planes are smaller since it is a smaller operation but I don't think this is a negative, in fact I think it is a positive thing because jumping out of it seems way cooler to me than just dropping out of the back bay of a huge aircraft. We actually had to climb out and hang outside for a few moments before you take the leap.

I don't really have to explain the fall but coming down was a great view over country Wisconsin, and you get to parachute yourself over a big river. Absolutely awesome and beautiful.

After our jumps we grilled out right at the hanger and had some beers and got to know everybody even better. You shouldn't just jump and leave, definitely make a day of your skydive and spend the whole day there. Bring a football or frisbee and just enjoy yourself.

Thanks again to Bo, Alex, Charlie, Howy, Tim, and all you other guys for the best 60 seconds of my life. Make it 120 seconds since I jumped again the same day.

Because of you guys and your love for this sport you have inspired me to continue jumping and I am now pursing my USPA-A license at AtmosphAir skydive. I will see you guys then. I can't stop thinking about the sky now.

Got my A lic last year and wanted to visit different DZ's around the area! My fiance, a longtime skydiver, and friend of Bo's has been wanting to take me there all season! Finally got a break from home and spent a wonderful day jumping with everyone at Atmosphair! A beautiful sunset load 5-way and the smile is still plastered on my face today! Wondeful people, great instructors a truly awsome place to spend the day! Thank you to all at Atmosphair for making my day there so special!

I love the feeling I get when I step out at this dropzone. Yor are immediately thought of as family and made to feel comfortable & safe in everyway. Bo, Alex, Mike, Howie, Charlie... they are your gods and goddess for flight. The video flyers are steller and make your experiece a memory for life. Watch out though, you'll be hooked and you'll be back. I've been 11 times now and everytime I go it gets better. Take the leap of faith and you'll grow wings! It's a wonderful thing to fly.

Best DZ in SE Wisconsin

Howy, Paul and Bo are some great guys. Charlie is alright too. It is the experience of a lifetime. I can not praise this orginization enough. Just thinking about my experiences at Atmosphair puts a smile on my face. My first skydive (and second of two thus far) was with these people in the fall of '05. This is the first skydive everyone needs. Atmosphair is a skydiving school, NOT a club which translates into safe, successful and extremely worth every penny good times. I plan to get certified this coming summer through Atmosphair. As I mentioned earlier, the staff is incredible which makes the experience. I spoke with Bo for a while and with the others in the school group I was with from UWM. Instead of having distractions such as arcade games and the like social bonds, conversations, questions/answers and philosophies are shared. I'm not talking Descartes here either, I'm talking way of life stuff. The Atmosphair family is perhaps the most happy, content and charismatic bunch I have ever been around. I want a part of that.

I came to Atmosphair not with a lot of personal experience with skydining or what to expect; plus I had a fear of heights to boot, but the staff made our party feel welcome and eased (mine anyway) our doubts and reservations about the whole process. I highly recommend Atmosphair to anyone that wants to feel like one of the family, if you will, and to get THE VERY BEST in their first jump experience!! I cant brag enough about the whole experience and am trying to organize more groups to take to Atmosphair so THEY can feel the freedom of freefall and to take their own memories of a once in a a lifetime opportunity!!

It is a not-so-commerialized way to have a fun and safe jump.

Atmosphair is a very small place, but within the walls lies what amounts to the best dz i have ever been to. Everybody there is happy to be there, they greet you with smiles on their face, and their main concern is that u have the most enjoyable and safe time possible when it comes to skydiving. I would recommend that anyone go there, if not for skydiving, but for the people you will meet there.

The friendliest staff and most fun you can have with your clothes on (excluding nude skydiving)!

Rated by: skychikmd on 2002-12-12 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Atmosphair Skydiving Center
Pros: Wicked friendly and experienced staff
Cons: Cold Wisconsin weather...wish the season was year round!!

I never thought I'd try skydiving....I happen to like terra firma under my feet, thank you. But when my dad (at 55 years) went on a whim and suggested I try it, I accepted. The staff at Atmosphair is so warm, friendly and hilarious that I immediately felt comfortable and safe. Their encouragement and knowledge was more than enough to motivate me to continue and get my license. Knowing that I'm jumping with people like Bo and Alex helps put my Mum's concerns at ease because of their experience and knowledge. Unlike some larger dropzones with the bars, computers and indoor waterparks, AtmosphAIR is a genuinely friendly and sincere dz where everyone is welcomed as family.
