I did a tandem at Temple when I was in town for SXSW last year, went home (CSC) and got my license. This year I brought a handful of people two days in a row to do tandems. Mark was awesome in helping us get everything coordinated and we had a seamless experience for a bunch of first time jumpers who were in town for SXSW Interactive.

Phil jumped with most of my friends and he was the perfect balance of professional, friendly and welcoming. I know two of my friends that jumped mentioned they're interested in doing AFF in the future, and I have no doubt that Phil, Wendy and Mark have a role in their positive experience, beyond the skydive itself.

For funjumpers, this is a smaller DZ, but they have great planes. CSC leases out their PAC 750XL from November-April, and from April-November they have a Grand Caravan.

Friendly vibe, definitely made me feel welcome and possibly transformed two tandems into future AFF students. I can't wait to come back next year and bring more people out to introduce them to our sport!

All around nice DZ to plan a day out. The plane is fast, and pilots are friendly.
Coaching and LO available. Clean indoor packing area, covered porches all over with seating to get out of the sun on warm days.

Skydive Temple is a fantastic place for any jumper! The first time jumpers is welcomed and given every opportunity to have a safe, fun filled, first adventure. Mid level jumpers are encouraged, coached, instructed and cared for because the are the future of the sport. Even us old time skydivers can have a fantastic time. It may not be the biggest drop zone in Texas but it is certainly the friendliest!

I have made 7 of my 9 AFF jumps at Skydive Temple located in Salado, TX. I feel very secure and safe while jumping at this DZ. The staff are very experienced and knowledgeable with safety as their #1 priority! The gear, aircraft, equipment & facilities are top-knotch! I enjoy hanging out (no pun intended) at Skydive Temple (Salado). I encourage all 1st timers and/or experienced jumpers to to start and continue skydiving at Skydive Temple in Salado.

World class staff with great organizing. Incredibly clean, comfortable, and fast PAC-750. Very talented fun jumpers with no cliques. A true family feel to the entire place and an all around class act!

I have made some jumps back in 1981...and have always wanted to go back to it. The years past, and as much as ive talked about it, I was to busy with life. This year i promised myself i would come back and do the A.F.F. course. My goal was to TRUELY learn how to skydive...not what i did in the airforce.

I visited 2 drop zones, skydive dallas and skydive Temple. I dont mean to bash dallas but as nice as the dallas dz is...I felt like I was cattle. Just another body with a pocket of cash. They seem to cater to the ((buck list)) people. Many come there to jump one time in thier lives...then thats it. WHICH IS FINE !...but half my class was there to become skydivers. Hope im explaining this right, i wanted them to TEACH ME not just get the jump over with, heres your video...bye.

So i called skydive Temple i explained what happened at dallas and they invited me in. The difference was night and day. I cant tell you how great the people are...and that they WANT to teach you! They have a instructor there named Wendy who is incredible in the sport. And always willing to help...shes Big on saftey...fun...and teaching you how to skydive with out the ego Ive seen at dallas. All the instructors there are great.

Now Im on my way to get my licence and i picked the perfect DZ!...How much trust do I have in them ?? I gave my son a tandem jump for his 16th b-day.

Ive learned Its the people who make the drop zone..so when your tired of being looked at like a pay check...or like a head of cattle...and dont want all the ego,,and feel like LEARNING.... skydive at temple...

Skydive Temple is an awesome dropzone, operated by some of the most amazing people I have ever met. From the first time I set foot into the door for my first AFF jump, to when I go my A license and on, the staff and atmosphere has been second to none. I would recommend this dropzone to anyone, any time. The DZ has an at home feeling, while still remaining a very safe and fun place to be. Overall, this DZ has it all, only thing I wish they had was a bigger plane, but who knows what the future holds. Thanks Skydive Temple for the amazing experiences, I am very sad to be leaving you guys! Blue Skies!

This was a surprise for my 16 yr. old son and my 71 yr. old father. They both had this on their "bucket list" and were overwhelmed with the experience. At no time did either of them feel like they were at risk for injury really, (except when they watched the intro.video! ha!)as the instructor was very professional and the tandem jumps were a HUGE success for them both. One of my son's friends who came to watch is working on convincing his parents to let him jump, and my other son who is almost 15 now wants to jump on his 16th birthday. We are so glad we chose this location, though it was far from our home in Dripping. It was worth the drive!

I started with a tandem at the DZ and was interested in going further, so I signed up for AFF. The instructors were very experienced and were willing to take time to answer any questions you may have.

The DZ hosts 2 C182's but a caravan flies in for some busy weekends and boogies. The place feels more like a home than a DZ and it's not uncommon for jumpers to show up on a Friday and not leave until Sunday because there is always a place to crash, clean showers and bathrooms and things to do. They also serve great food on the weekends and at boogies and there is always free Shiner on Tap for those that aren't jumping or are finished jumping. There is plenty to do other than jumping- like horseshoes, pool, darts and they have a big screen TV outside where everyone hangs out.

The DZ is huge on safety and instruction. They hold advanced courses to instruct groups of jumpers in areas such as canopy control and formation skydiving. The courses include thorough ground instruction and jumps with video, and then video reviews along with debriefings to highlight what was taught in the course. Overall the DZ feels like home. The first time I showed up I was invited to stay for the weekend party they were throwing, I now spend the majority of time there and it gets better every time I go.

Fun, friendly, convenient! Everyone is super friendly. The instructors, Illya, Wendy, Lindsay, are the best! I got my AFF through them and I am currently working on my A license and I plan on keep going through them until I leave. They are kid friendly too, so it's great to have the family there!
