I love it. It's my home DZ so, yeah, I'm a little bit biased but in all honesty it's a great place to learn and if you haven't jumped at a small DZ in a while you owe to yourself to come have a completely relaxed and fun jump or two.

There are two Cessnas's for days when flying both can be justified. 90% of the hanger is carpeted and shaded for packing and relaxing and there are plenty of restaurants and gas stations just a couple of miles away.

friendly student oriented dropzone with some fun jumpers in the mix.

Skydive Walterboro Rated 5 by: jamester28 on 2010-09-25

Pros: very friendly environment dedicated to advancing students in a safe and fun manner. coaches/instructors are top notch.
Cons: be prepared to wait between loads. they have 2 C182 aircraft but i usually only see one taking loads up.

I've been in the static line program over the summer and have enjoyed all of it from the ground training, to the jumps, to the conversation between loads. Two months ago I was on my ten second delay and due to some instability at deployment (and a pre-existing weakness in the joint) suffered a dislocated shoulder which put me out of the training for awhile. Was welcomed back today by name with smiles and well wishes. Was directed to a jumper who shared my predisposition to shoulder instability and got some good pointers. Did a prcp and a clear and pull. Good stable exits and helpful feedback from my instructors Robert and Chuck. Will be back next weekend. Great times had by all. :-)

I've been jumping at Walterboro since September. Everyone there is friendly and professional. I have 7 jumps, and have been treated just a good as someone with a 1000 jumps. The staff is never too busy to help you or answer any questions. They always make every effort to get you in the air.
This is just a great place to hang out, make friends and learn to sky dive.
The food facilities are not close,so bring some snacks encase of a weather hold, thats the only con about this DZ i can think of.

I did my training at Deland but live in South Carolina, so this is where I go. Have made a few jumps with the guys at Skydive Walterboro and these guys are great. My first jump I was asked to participate in a 4 way and they even catered the break off to my deployment altitude. They took me in and made me feel like I was a regular who has had 500 jumps with them. They went over the cross training for their rigs, (I trained with Vectors at Deland), went over exits from the C182 even before I was asked to join the 4 way and reviewed wind direction and spotting. Never once was I asked if I wanted to spend money on coaching or asked for a hand out. They just wanted to see me succeed and have a safe, fun time. This is my home DZ until I move to Orlando, Florida in January 2005. I cant say enough good things about Skydive Walterboro and the people there. A+++ for the vibe.

Had a blast

Skydive Walterboro Rated 4 by: 2fat2fly on 2003-08-20

Pros: Friendly, Well Run, Large Landing Area
Cons: Coastal Clouds, Cessna 182

I visited Skydive Walterboro while in the area on vacation. I went first on a Sunday and clouds rolled in before I could go up. I had later plans and couldn't wait them out. I still had a blast hanging out with the staff and regulars. Nobody looked down on my low jump number or ugly gear. I returned the following Friday and made two loads. Number one was a hop and pop to look around the area. Number two was a two way with a regular there who along with everyone else was helpful, friendly and free with advise. They seemed to be taking good care of the students. I observed the instructors to be both professional and friendly going that extra bit to make the students comfortable. I don't get in the area often but rest assured that when I'm down that way I'll be stopping by.
