I dropped in to make some fun jumps and this was an awesome place for it! Made a couple jumps with only seven people on a caravan, it was awesome! The staff and students are friendly,I was invited to join a 100th jump for one of the locals which turned into a 13-way, incomplete, but still great fun.

An Upjumper's Heaven

"Tandem Factory" is the least accurate description I could give to this place. As upjumpers we all know that students and tandems pay the bills, but it seems that these guys really care about their regulars more than trying to pull a huge profit. Of course the Pac doesn't compare to the Super Otter that I've come to love at Gold Coast, but it's still hundreds of times better than the C-182 I've dealt with for most of my jumps!

There's a restaurant on site - $3.99 for a hamburger and other very reasonable prices. The gear shop has what you might need (tube stows, altis, goggles, etc) and they make the mistake of allowing you to take what you want and pay for it all at the end of the day! I almost forgot that I snagged a bag of tube stows before I left, but I paid for them.

They charge 3% for credit cards so bring a checkbook. $25 per load gets expensive so I guess that's how they handle taking care of their upjumpers more than bumping us for tandems and AFF. Still, one of best dropzones I've been to. Out of the 9 DZs I've visited, I'd rate this one number 2 (right behind Gold Coast in Mississippi) only because of the PAC and the $25 per load. The friendliness of their skydivers and their willingness to jump with you and get you involved in what they do is incomparable, though. I'll definitely be coming back here.

Well I will keep this in the shortest form possible so that it will leave those who are curious about this place will step out on the ledge and find out for there selves!

Bottom line I cannot say it enough, but you must travel down there and check things out for yourself! When you get there tell Hardwood that you want to make a skydive....Ha Ha...

Thanks guys....see you again!!

First off I'm a student so my experiences are somewhat limited on dz's but the minute I got there I was welcomed. The staff was very professional, prices were good . The only thing I will say as a student is after using smaller zp canopies their larger f111 were not my favorite .. but all in all I will be returning as often as I can ... thanks everyone for making it a great trip ...

My wife and I jumped at Skydive Alabama for 3 years and was there almost every weekend. Unfortunately, we had to move out of state due to work. First of all the staff are the most professional of any DZ staff we ever been to, and that's about 15 DZ's throughout the states. Secondly, the plane is always flying, if not the King Air, then the Cessna. Curly, the DZO is always working his ass off making sure the plane's in the air by either flying, or if he's short a TM, he's quick to put on a rig to take a student up, or even shoot video; he's an outstanding person with a great since of humor! Stacey, who works manifest; goes above and beyond any manifest person i have ever seen. Overall this DZ is and will be by far my favorite DZ and choice DZ to visit no matter how far we may live away from it. Keep up the good work guys

I have jumped all over the world, LITERALLY. You will never find a more professional, courteous, and welcoming staff. The facilities are amazing and the camaraderie is second to none. I recommend this jewel to any up jumper who happens to be visiting North Alabama or anyone who is looking for a new home Drop Zone in the Tri-State area.

We jumped at SA for about 3 years before we were forced to move to GA...blah! Anyway, the first time we set foot on the DZ, we were met with smiles and greetings. The DZO is friendly, professional and knowledgeable. He's a pilot, tandem instructor, and holds various other titles/royalties. This DZ is known to be very busy at times, but the Manifest Operator is so sweet. She always tries to help make sure we get on the loads we want. She's curteous to new-comers, but at the same time, makes sure that we are all safe. This DZ follows USPA strictly. I can always count on sound advice from the coaches/instructors. Thanks Skydive Alabama for making my first 3 years of skydiving safe, and a total blast! I miss you guys so very much!
