Skydive Deep Creek

Attempted to go to Skydive Deep Creek, now called Skydive Cumberland per their fb page. Online said they were open daily and I attempted to both call and message them, but did not get a response. Drove all the way out there and there was no sign of a dropzone in existence. Google and fb had different addresses listed, so I went to different airports within 5 miles of each other. Asked the locals at the airport restaurant and they said very rarely there is skydiving, but they weren't sure who does it, where it happens at, and said it had been awhile said they had seen anyone jumping.

The owner has put together a nice new fleet of gear for new students and has staff ready to train anybody curious enough to walk through the door. I would highly recommend this dropzone to everyone who wants to experience freefall for the first time or the thousandth time. Enjoy :)

Skydive Deep Creek is an amazing place that I highly recommend. While being a relatively new dropzone, the professionalism is outstanding and the staff and atmosphere are and friendly and inviting.

For a new drop zone, this place really has it going on. Carpeted packing area, fun loving, dedicated and knowledgeable staff; as well as incredible scenery. The DZO is tandem IE, pilot, senior rigger and skydiver, which can provide a student skydiver with a vast array of relevant and tangible information. Also, with the close nit atmosphere, a student jumper, gets to interact with all sorts of personnel that one would not experience at a larger, higher paced DZ. I.e: the DZO, pilots, Tandem instructors. Its also pertinent to mention a local group of fun jumpers that love to include new people and perpetuate further knowledge and growth in the sport of skydiving. Great DZ overall!!

Be very cautious about this outfitter. We bought a Living Social and I planned on using this for my husband’s Birthday present. We went one of the first weekends that they were open in 5/2013. Unfortunately, after ascending the plane, the conditions were deemed unsafe for us to safely jump. For this we are grateful that we were not put in any danger. We did pay for pictures of us skydiving and they company refused to refund us for these when we decided to reschedule for a later time, creating a very awkward situation and making us not want return for this adventure (and we did not every reschedule). This ended up escalating to our credit card company who sided with this company after they provided them with pictures of us standing beside the plane and sitting within the plane. The company also told our CC company that we did not return to pick up these pictures and that they tried to contact us without response. While I am sure they are very excellent at their job, especially from other reviews, I would be extremely cautious, especially with any type of cancellations/reschedules. Their level of manipulating this situation was simply not acceptable for a new business who wishes for positive referrals and feedback for future clients.

Note: Skydive deep creek is now located at Greater Cumberland Regional Airport (KCBE) in Cumberland, Maryland.

I'm may a bit biased (as I work here), but I felt compelled to give jumpers/prospective jumpers my feelings on the place. Neil (the owner) is a very knowledgeable jumper/pilot/dzo and has this place set up right. The gear is great (brand new mains/reserves/vigil 2's for studens and brand spanking new sigma tandem systems), the people are friendly, and you get an overwhelmingly personal feel. In addition to the great jumping, there is an autocross event on the taxiway in front of the hangar about one weekend per month. Pretty awesome to watch cars racing beneath you under canopy! Overall great dz with an awesome feel. Hope to see you here soon!
