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!
