Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

I love this place! From the moment I walked in for the first time, all the girls at the office where super nice. Everyone there was so friendly. The tandem instructors where all very polite and did great job with me and my friends. photographers are all funny and friendly as well.

Only complaint I have is the fact that the student landing zone is really messy. Needs to be cleaned up. Full of bushes and dirt. Also the damm wind sucks in the afternoon when you take your first AFF you probable wont be able to jump alone that day because of it. Good thing is they offer you a $40 discount if that does happen, and you still get credit for the level 1.

Other then that everything was awesome!

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

I just wanted to write a review to inform you of the great experience I had with the staff at skydive lake Elsinore.
On 04/21/2008, my brother and I decided to come to Skydive Lake Elsinore to attend an AFF1 class. The class was instructed by Brianne Thompson. Brianne taught the class in a very professional manner and was able to still keep the class interesting. after in class training it was time to jump! our class was then introduced to Mark, Matt, Yong, Caesar, and Lelo.
These guys are the best!! After making my first jump with Matt and Lobo, I was defiantly hooked. Not only did they make me feel safe they made it fun. I then cancelled all my plans for the next week and paid for the next 7 classes. During the next 7 classes these guys exceeded my expectations, I was treated not only as a student but also like a friend. During the instruction and the jump they didn’t only stress the details that were needed to pass each AFF Level but to also make sure I was safe and enjoyed the experience.
In conclusion, I personally want to thank you for employing such a great group of people each of them went way past what was need to get this rock to fly.
Thanks again,

Jarrett Hale

P.S. see ya in 3-4 weeks!!

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

Everyone must do this at least once in their lifetime! This was my first jump so I read a ton of reviews prior to deciding on a place to jump. It was between this and San Diego. I originally decided on Skydive Elsinore because it was closer and after reading the reviews. Well I am so glad that I did! This place was great. Kelly my tandem partner was fantastic! Even though he has probably done this hundreds of times he was as excited as I was. His enthusiasm was contagious. In fact he may have been more excited for me than I was! He explained everything I was supposed to do clearly. He made me feel completely at ease; I wasn't nervous at all! The camera man was great. I got some awesome photos! The video, with special effects, was ready a few minutes after landing! They even included the people I was with in the photos which was really nice to have.You also get a tee shirt and certificate after your jump. I highly recommend Skydive Elsinore for both the facility, the people and the absolute beautiful location!

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

Awesome! I can't say enough great things about Skydive Elsinore. I bought my husband a tandem jump for his 30th birthday this month. I called a number of drop zones in the area and read reviews online and I am so glad I picked SE. The were really friendly and just a ton of fun. His tandem partner was Chad who made it a great experience and his photographer/dvd jumper was Pat who just cracked us up. They didn't make you feel bad at all that you were a first time jumper...they just wanted you to enjoy it as much as they do every day. It totally convinced me that I want to go. We will definitely be back!

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

Well I started jumping here in april of 07. Its now oct and I have 88jumps. I did my first tandem here like 2yrs ago and loved it then too. Ive traveled to 3 or 4 different DZ's since I have started jumping, but there is nothing like home. The people, parties and jumping are da shiznit!... and no matter what your experience level is, there is someone to jump with. I still havnt purchased my rig yet and I have been renting from ground zero and they have helped me down size every time giving me there thoughts on what I should jump next. Ive have been able to rent a lot of different parachutes and containers and that has helped me in my decision to purchase a rig. I definately recommend this place to anyone and hopefully I will see you there.

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

The nicest dropzone I visited in sheer beauty. The mountain backdrop and valley view alone are worth the trip; the facility is worthy of the location. Very friendly people, truly interested in assisting me in having fun and safe skydives. I jumped with great people thanks to the organizers and staff, made new friends, and loved it at Lake Elsinore.

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

DZO Carl has made me feel at home every time I've been here, as well as the rest of the staff. There's something here for everyone, no matter the number of jumps, style or disipline. Plenty of covered areas to pack and people to meet. Bunk it, tent it or passed out in the field, plan a few days to hang around. The casino gives skydivers'rates and is only a mile away. The parties are legendary and always fun at this DZ. Someone from the staff is always around to help anyone in need. Thanks for being here Elsinore, U Rock!

Cons: Inedible steak (at least not to my taste)

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

Everything I'd heard about this place is true and understated. Meeting up with Melanie, Steak, Jonathon, Frankie, Chris and the rest will make anyone feel right at home. The facilities are superb along with a very well maintained gear shop. Rental gear is both affordable and well taken care of. Even someone with a very limited number of jumps should have no problem finding someone of amazing talents to fly with. ...and of course, there's Angie's place!!

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

Me and my friends wanted to go skydiving for our spring break, so after reading the reviews here we thought that Elsinore Skydiving would be the best choice for us, turns out it met and exceeded our expectations! Everyone had an amazing time, staff was very friendly, great vibe and ambiance, and no problems at any point of the visit because everything is so organized there. I will definitely be back as my tandem jump experience was so amazing. Thanks again folks at Elsinore!
