The skydive itself was a very wonderful experience in which I will definitely do again. However, I will not go back to Skydive Atlanta for my next jump. We made reservations in advance for a group of 12. We were told by office staff we could jump together, or closely together. We ended up on 7 separate loads ranging from 1 jumper in our group to 3 jumpers over 8 hours (2 hour cloud delay). I paid $105 for a cameraman and he didn't get on the plane, so I missed out on getting my DVD. The office staff were not very concerned or apologetic by any means about the mix-up. BTW, if you choose Skydive Atlanta and want a video, please ask for the price difference between DVD and VHS. This increased my bill by $30. We were originally told video was $75, but a DVD ended up $105, and the increase in price was not explained when the option was given by office staff. Also, other skydive places charge around $85 for DVD and let you edit and choose music when Skydive ATL does not. We had to wait around 2 hours after our final jump for the last of our DVD's; which was ridiculous! When it was time for my jump, my instructor didn't have a parachuet packed and we were waiting for a packer to rush and get a parachuet ready. As a first time jumper it was nerve racking to watch 2 people fumble around to get my parachuet packed; lucky for me the parachuet deployed and all went well. Better planning on the parachuet repacking is a suggestion for Skydive Atlanta to consider. This happened to 2 other people in our group. The tandem instructors were great and very knowledgeable and friendly. The instructors need more support from office management for smooth flow of jumpers and paracheut packing. Due to the lack of organization, our group will take our business elsewhere. We all plan on getting certified, but not at Skydive Atlanta...
