I took Level 1 AFF at SNE and the entire staff was excellent! The jump was great, the time that was spent as part of the debrief was phenomenal. Great place, close to home, great people.

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

I've done 2 tandems and 2 AFF jumps and they have been wonderful every time! You can't find a better group of people then the staff there. They make you comfortable all the way through and explain the steps clearly so you can do what you need to do. I've recommended them to all my friends and will continue to do so.

Professionalism   Vibe   Facilities   Services   Location

Waited and talked about skydiving for 20 years and finally decided to go. Brought the family to witness dad jump out of a plane. Staff was not only great to me they were great to my family. No one made me feel like a newbie, and with the kidding around (yet professional ) I felt at ease. Cant wait to go back and do it solo.

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

I had been wanting to skydive for many years, and finally took the plunge. It was one of the most rewarding, beautiful, incredible experiences I have ever had.
The first thing I noticed upon arrival was the friendly and laid back ways of the staff, explaining in detail everything you want to know about jumping out of a plane. No one there made me feel like a newbie, there were no show-offs, everyone is treated with respect.
What a thrill to get in that plane, climbing to 14,000 feet in just 15 minutes, get strapped to your tandem master, and then.......WHOA! I have imagined what it must feel like, many times, but nothing came close to the actual feeling of sudden rushing wind in your ears and up your nose, lips stuck to your teeth. The feeling of helplessly falling soon disappears as you seem to lay on a cushion of air. (I bought the video so I can relive it any time, and now I can see how totally happy I looked). Once the canopy opened, I had more time to look around me and take in the beautiful sights of a sunny, colorful October day.

Thank you, Matt, for making this an unforgettable day.

Thumbs up to you all! You are one hell of a crew!

I visited in the summer of '07 and it was def the best time i have had at any DZ yet, I have low jump numbers but have been lucky enough to check out a variety of DZ's and this one tops them all off, the staff the people the dogs are all great and the partying even better, esp when naked and drunk (woops!!!!)

Rated by: scottydontno on 2006-09-24 (user profile) (user reviews) Review of: Skydive New England   Pros: Excellent Staff, Very Friendly and Welcoming, Great Classes, Awsome Location and above all Great Food Cons: none

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

For my 18th birthday I decided to do something I always wanted to do, skydive. So for about a month I began looking into places to jump. Sure there were closer ones, but none offered same day AFF classes and jump, which I needed. The fact that Skydive New England was 3 hours away from home was a little bit of a turn off, but I was determined.
When I got to the DZ the weather was a beautiful August day and the area seemed very nice. I noticed quickly that the staff was very friendly and everyone was very welcoming. I quickly began my class, and I was the only student in my class. They could have easily delayed my class, or even cancelled due to no other students. The class began and it was easy to learn from the staff and we routinely took breaks. The class took 6 hours, which I expected to happen. After getting geared up I was ready to jump. As we were boarding the aircraft, and during flight, both instructors checked on my equipment and on my mental health. We were ready to jump. We jumped and they did what they needed to do in order for me to have good form. As I began deployment I began to loose form and before anything serious could happen my main instructor pulled my chute to prevent instability. As I descended an instructor on the ground helped me land a perfect landing, right on the mark.

Thanks Skydive New England for an excellent first jump!

2 of 11 people found the following review helpful: Great Vibes! Rated by: Snowjumper on 2006-05-26 (user profile) (user reviews) Review of: Skydive New England   Pros: The best DZ in the Northeast!!! Cons: Closed during winter months.

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

The great people and facilities at this DZ make for a really great time. The staff is courteous and professional. The fun jumpers are freindly and helpfull. The Super Otter is fast and the DZ has plenty of amenities. I have been to several DZ's in the USA and Canada and this place has the best vibes around. The high level of talent there makes it easy to learn and practise new freefall and canopy skills. There are a lot of trees around so be sure to look for the outs on one of their large aerial photos before you jump. The veiws are stunning as you will see the Atlantic seacost,The White Mountains and several large lakes including Lake Winnipesaukee. Stick around till the evening for great swoops on the pond and live music by the bonfire.

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

I was fortunate enough to get to work the end of the season here after skydive las vegas shut down.Skydive new england is alot like skydive oregon. Only 2 things are different.Skydive new england is a bit smaller and everyone has an east coast accent.This is a great place to make your 1st skydive or to visit for experienced folks. Nice super otter and great skydivers.The fall season is spectacular with the changing of the leaves.Just like oregon,the food of choice is beer.Carp has a nice gig going on.Skydive new england is my second favorite DZ next to skydive oregon.Go check it out. You will love it!
