As a new skydiver in BC coming from South Africa, Abby welcomed me with open arms. Not only were they warm and welcoming, they bent over backwards to sort me out where ever possible. I cant say enough about how all of the staff make a concerted effort to make all skydiver, new and old to feel welcome and comfortable. I would recommend that all skydivers of all levels visit this DZ for the people and the most beautiful scenic surrounds I have yet seen at a DZ. They way over exceeded my expectations and I will be back! To be specific, they are holding a boogie over the weekend of the 1st Aug 09 and I hope to see a fool DZ with hundreds of international skydivers.
Blue Skies people and here's a BIG thanks to all at Vancouver Skydiving - Abbotsford!

Fantastic place! did all my training here. jump here every week. great staff. great planes( C-180, C-182, Pilatus Porter). I have learned so much from owners( Gerry, Debbie and Jess) wouldn't have wanted to learn anywhere else. Fantastic view of Mt Baker and fraser valley from the air, fantastic DZ with great packing facility. everyone is friendly as hell.

Thanks, Horizon Aerosports!

This is a very friendly DZ with great staff and a cool airplane. Couldn’t ask for a friendlier staff. Good equipment … love the Porter (one of my favorite planes)

This drop zone was my first jumping visit outside the U.S. I found the staff at the DZ was extremely accomodating and friendly. They treated the skydivers like family. For example, a person can go skydive all day and settle the bill at the end of the day. This made it easy to get on the next load without going through transactions everytime. I was amazed at how smooth the porter flew. Incredible room in that plane and a great big door for multiple people exit. I will never forget the great views, the "tandem that didn't jump", and the sushi dinner after the weekend was through. To my friends that jumped with me, keep on smiling!

Great family/friendly atmosphere. Good mixture of tandems and fun-jumpers. The "regulars" at this dropzone are a great bunch, ready to have fun at the drop of a frap. R/W, freefly, accuracy, CReW. Gerald and Debbie keep things rollin'. Grant keeps em' flying.

Abbotsford Para-Centre is situated on the flats in the Fraser Valley. Take off from D.Z. and land in huge open green field. Pilatus Porter is awesome jump ship with huge patio of a step (5-6 outside)- view Vancouver, Mtn. Baker on climb to altitude. Awesome deck with fire pit, BBQs, cozy loft with fire, packing area groomed, shade tents, hot shower, camping, 5 minutes from City of Abbotsford.
