I wish they had bigger planes and the harness was small for me-( 5ft9in 217-wide load-lol) They seem to want to get you into skydiving and will answer ANY question. Very informative NO HIDDEN FEES. I really liked my instructor Chuck,great personality everyone was friendly,helpful for a 1st timer like me.After static line class(includes 1st jump its just $60.00 each jump-great imho

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.

There are no outsiders at Skydive Walterboro, everyone is a regular. If you’re a student, or want to be a student, this is the place for you. If you’re an experienced jumper in or around the Charleston area and want to make a few jumps while in town, the regulars and staff will make you feel like you’re at home. What they lack in size they make up in hospitality.

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
Rated by: 2fat2fly on 2003-08-20 (user profile) (user reviews)


Review of: Skydive Walterboro
  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.

Maybe one day! Grand Caravan would make it gold!
Rated by: melissagsc on 2002-12-05 (user profile) (user reviews)


Review of: Skydive Walterboro
  Pros: Excellent Student oriented Drop Zone
Cons: No big loads...no big planes

This is a very big landing area..very beautiful town and great people! Some great skydivers have come from here...so I have heard and seen the video..Jim Slaton, Jeremy Nease, Jeremy Wilder, Tony Canant. Home of the Citadel Skydive Club run by Dr. Robert Sinnott.

The best riggers and packers...I've ever known!




Maybe one day...a Grand Caravan or King Air will show up and make it Gold!

Nice airport, but...
Rated by: Cajones on 2002-10-21 (user profile) (user reviews)


Review of: Skydive Walterboro
  Pros: Nice open landing area
Cons: Students come first

Some good people jumping. Nice landing area. But, experienced people are bumped from loads for students. Plan a three-way - go to plane to find out one of us has been cut to put on JM and student - "Sorry, you are manifested - you don't have to go, but you are still paying for your slot." Cessna's only, but seem well maintained.
