What a feeling falling out of a plane at 13,000 ft! The entire staff at Start-skydiving made us feel at ease and safe through every step of the skydiving experience. What a great bunch of people. We all have talked to our friends once we got back to work and have talked many more of them in experiencing the thrill of free falling. What a blast! Thanks to all of you for a great time!

My instructor, and all of the people at StartSKydive were amazing. Kind, considerate, calmed my racing nerves and fear of falling (smile) with logical, thoughtful answers. Welcomed us to 'their' sport with open arms and we left feeling empowered, emboldened and just a touch of swagger. Didn't think I could do it; turned out it was as easy as stepping off a curb.

This was my first time and the crew tried to calm my fears. I had a great time after the initial step out. Lonnie was my coach and he really knew what he was doing. He made it seem effortless. I would recommend jumping with this group anytime. Thanks for the experience!

The staff here is so much fun, there is a lot of positive energy so you don't get nervous. It was my first time skydiving and I had a blast! My instructor made me feel prepared without making me nervous. The plane ride up was full of positive energy and excitement and I can't wait to do it again!

As a fresh start present, my friend took me here to go skydiving. Now, keep in mind, this guy will preach to anyone who will listen the positive aspects of skydiving, especially with Start Skydiving. He was NOT exaggerating! The whole experience was mindblowing, and I am so glad we went with the Rockstar package. The whole thing was such a rush that it is nice to be able to review and remember. The staff was excellent, the experience was awesome. This place is top-notch; if you want to skydive, you're in good hands! -Theresa Tesno Cherepanov

I jumped for the first time this summer, have always wanted to do it! I scheduled my jump for 8am on a Sat, was the only tandem jumper on the plane. Absolutely incredible staff-from the hanger, to the office, to the plane everyone was wonderful & personable. Everyon there made me feel like they cared & wanted me to have an absolutely awesome experience.....which I did! Planning on doing it again this fall.

Bills don't matter when your 11,000 feet in the air. Experience true freedom as you let go of everything and embrace true peace by jumping out of a perfectly good air plane.

I came down with my mum for my 16th birthday and we had a fabulous time. We both chose to do the AFF (solo) jump, so there was obviously a good amount of class-time before the actual jump. I didn't know what to expect of the class, as it could have been quite boring, but it was well-taught and I felt prepared when it was time to put the learning to use. My mum and I both got a bit nervous before/while we were in the plane, but the instructors were great at calming any fears and making the whole experience a blast.
Originally (before the jump) I had no plans to work on getting my license - I only did AFF because I didn't really want to jump with someone else. However, as soon as we left the hangar, I was already planning on going back to do the Category B jump and trying to complete the license. I just had such a great experience, and I would definitely recommend Start Skydiving to anyone who wants to skydive.

My first time skydiving and the experience was awesome. Everyone at Start Skydiving were very friendly and the instructors were very professional. I was so nervous at first but by the time we were about to step out of the plane I was confident and relaxed that I was in good hands. Would do it again in a heartbeat. ;o)

I was very nervous to go skydiving for the first time but from the minute I walked in the door I got personal attention and felt extremely comfortable! I was terrified but the staff really made me feel safe and comfortable with jumping out of a plane!!

I went skydiving for the first time at Start Skydiving in Middletown, OH. I researched other dropzones in the area but decided on this one and I was not disappointed. Although their prices were a little higher than other dropzones in the area, I had a top notch experience that was well worth a few extra dollars. The staff were very friendly and made me feel at ease. The service I received was professional from start to finish and the facilities are very nice and clean. My first experience was absolutely amazing and I look forward to jumping again soon!

Went with friends and took my kids, they are 20 and 24. This is my second jump and it was still awesome. My kids loved it too. This was something I gave them that they probably wouldn't have done themselves. The people there are great and they made sure our time was going to be fun.

I took my sister here for her 30th birthday. I was very nervous at first, but we both loved it! The instructors were great! I ended up driving back 5 days later (5 hour drive from where I live!) for a second jump and loved it even more! It has been about three weeks since my last jump and I am already going back for more! There are at least three dropzones near my house, but I just love the atmosphere and people at Start Skydiving and it's worth the drive!!

I had a great time with a group that I went with in June. We were able to get a group deal provided by Joan Esson. She is a friend and has highly recommened dropzone.com to all of us and we finally took her up on her offer. It was a great time and I recommend dropzone.com to anyone looking to skydive.

Today was my first tandem skydive and I was referred to startskydiving.com by a family member and I wasn't disappointed! It was a great experience Made better by my tandem guide Lonnie who put my nerves at ease by answering any questions I threw his way. He went over procedures countless times till it was second nature. I will definitely recommend startskydiving.com to anyone wanting to take the leap!

I had an amazing time skydiving with StartSkydiving. I had never jumped before, and the tandem jumper I had was friendly and explained everything very thoroughly. The weather was really good on the day I jumped, and because of this and the efficiency of the staff it took less than an hour from the time I signed the waivers until I was up in the Cessna. The view was breathtaking - all in all a fantastic experience!
