I was in Albuquerque visiting family and brought my chute for a day of jumping. I arrived and found my way to manifest easily. I was greeted quickly and several people welcomed me. After the requisit paperwork, an instructor showed me the landing areas, talked about pattern, and because I jump a sea level, some help on landing at 5200 ft. As I entered the aircraft, I felt confident that it would be a good jump.

The only negative I had was with the pilot, and I personally had no problem. He spotted us short, and was lower than expected. An instructor on the load tried correcting the issue, with some success.

I will bring my gear the next visit to ABQ and I will be sure to visit Skydive New Mexico again.

On a roadtrip myself and a friend stopped by unsure of what to expect. We were greeted by many friendly fun jumpers who were all willing to lend a hand. Rigger on site (Danny) awesome guy willing to help out in a pinch! (Had some gear issues which he helped us resolve right away). Plenty of briefing not only for us as new comers, but great to see the amount of time and effort put into every student that comes in. 3 different landing areas. One for every comfort level. High Altitude DZ but the landings are FUN! Plane was clean and quick to climb. Great conversation and great family feel. Will be back for the water boogie for sure! DO NOT MISS THIS DZ!

These Skydivers are just one big happy family...
We enjoyed our visit and jump at Skydive New Mexico.
Young to older experienced to new, all so friendly! Wonderful conversations and hosts.
New Mexico is one of the most beautiful states we've ever seen! The colors are beautiful!
Thanks everyone, it made a nice stop for us on our road trip.
Blue Skies!

Rated by: sputnik74 on 2007-04-28 (user profile) (user reviews) Review of: Skydive New Mexico   Pros: An awesome DZ with super friendly, safety oriented staff and incredible views. Cons: High elevation (not really a con, but worth considering).

When I was working in Albuquerque I brought my rig and was very glad that I did. Every single person that I interacted with whether staff or fun jumpers were extremely friendly and welcoming. With 2 Cessna's they did a great job organizing loads to accomodate fun jumpers and tandems alike. The scenery is fantastic and it was nice to see that they treat their tandems as students, both by providing extensive ground training and by providing them with altimeters and audibles. I would highly recommend stopping by and jumping with the fine folks at Skydive New Mexico.

Good place to jump if you're visiting. Not a lot of Free Fly, CRW, or any thing beyond belly flying. A few of the regulars swoop, freefly, etc. but most people are just chillin'. Scenery is pretty sick-Land on a Mesa between two desert rivers!
Not a lot of funding for the DZ so if you plan, are forced to rent-pick and choose what you put on...

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

I stopped by SDNM while on a road trip. It was very busy but everybody went out of their way to make me and my friend feel welcome. I have never met such warm, friendly, hospitable people. This also shows in how the staff treats their students and tandems.

The 5,000'+ altitude of the dz made landing interesting and effectively let me feel the effects of downsizing the cheap and easy way.

I only did one jump that day (by choice) but had a great time just hanging out with the folks. Please stop by this dz if you are in the area.

The Sunday I was there, the DZ was a little slow, so much attention was given to the newcomer. I felt important, they went out of there way to please. The jump went well, thanks to all at Skydive New Mexico.
