I am from Ontario and was on the road for work. Driving into Osoyoos I saw a sign that said "Go skydiving". I replied "OK" and decided to try skydiving for the first time. I didn't remember the number on the sign, so when I got to town I Googled it and found Skydive Oliver. The booking process was pleasant on the phone, and when asked how I heard about them I was able to reply with signs AND Google :-) I headed to the airport later that afternoon for a tandem jump. Everyone there was extremely friendly and helpful in filling out of paperwork. The tandem jump included a short instructional lesson before the jump which was clear and easy to remember (a big plus when your feet are dangling out of a plane later :-P) I was really impressed with the flight up to jumping altitude. A bonus that I hadn't thought about was on the flight up I was treated to some of the most marvelous views of the Okanagan valley. The sights alone made the trip worth it, but then we jumped out of the plane. The jump was marvelous. I was completely confident in my instructor and the jump was perfect. On the ground was a photographer snapping pics of the landing, and I was emailed a video of the jump in just a few hours. I was thrilled with everything about my experience, and when I am back in the area this summer I hope to return to take the solo jump course.
