All of the staff were very friendly and cautious. I recently got off AFF at a different dropzone and wanted to jump while I was in the area. They made sure I was prepared by going over everything I needed to know about the particulars of the dropzone and jumping their student canopy. I would recommend this dropzone to anybody. Thanks Roy, Anne, John, and Scott

Awesome place to go!

Rated by: Superfletch on 2008-01-30 (user profile) (user reviews) Review of: Skydive Southwest Florida   Pros: Convenient Location, Great Vibes, Comfortable Atmosphere Cons: Not a lot of amenities

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

I recently visited this dropzone and found it to be a refreshing change from the typical LARGE Florida dropzone. The staff and jumpers were very friendly giving it that midwest cessna dropzone feel.The grand caravan was very nice.Most of the jumpers were fairly low timers in the 200-400 jump range but they were all eager and it won't be for long before there is a wealth of experience bouncing around.There wasn't a lot in the way of facilities but they had covered packing with good ventilation and a comfortable place to rest when you weren't jumping.I would highly recommend that if you are in the area for you to stop on by and give them a chance.I'm sure you'll have just as nice a time as I did.

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

Was recently invited to take a trip up to Port Charlotte on a tandem jump in Oct. 06 Sense then I've made over 87 jumps and both received my A, B Licenses but I've always had great teachers and jumpers to inspire my true desire and to make my dream come true. Human flight is were i below and I owe it all to Anne and Roy's DZ. ~ Remember Live Love and Learn.

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

I went through my AFF course here, and this place is awesome. Awesome friendly people, specially Ann & Roy. They're willing to jump almost any day of the week, and not matter how busy it is you will get your AFF/AFI jump in. They are about safety, and I do feel safe jumping out of a perfectly good airplane with Skydive SWFL. The experience jumpers are also friendly. It feels like one big happy family there. Once you start going to this place expect to come back every single weekend.

Thank you Ann, Roy, and everyone at Skydive SWFL.

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

I met Anne and Roy 2 years ago when they were in Labelle and was excited to find them in Punta Gorda. I began the AFI program with them and found them both informative, professional, and very safety conscious. After graduating, I found their ongoing training continues even when the DZ is busy. They are always available and willing to assist. I would highly recommend this DZ for anyone from novice to advanced. In the past six months, I have seen this DZ grow and they have found a great site. This DZ is still small enough to have a personal touch but also has the ablity to handle larger crowds. By speaking with other jumpers from larger drop zones, Anne and Roy are well known within the sport and they maintain a higher standard and will not compromise that for anyone. I saw the fun jumpers there welcome new people and get excited by encouraging and supporting the beginners.

It's great to visit a small dz from time to time. The friendly staff and jumpers made my first visit very pleasant.
Can't wait to see this place when they get a bigger plane!
