I just took my first tandem jump on 11/06/09. However, I’m not from Arizona. After three years of trying, and failing, to get a group of newbie’s together I finally ran into a friend who is an experienced fun jumper. He raved about Skydive Arizona and their facilities and I can see why.
Not only can you do anything and everything at the DZ, every person is lovely as well. I had a great jump, and the video and pictures are hilarious. More due to the fact that I’m a goofball – the quality is still great.
Over and over again as I look for a home DZ I see debates about staff, and friendliness, and he said – she said. Complaints about long lines – anything and everything that stops me from being fully confident in getting my ‘A’ certification complete.
THAT IS NOT THE CASE HERE!!
I love it so much it is nearly worth the time, vacation, and extreme expense to fly to Arizona and stay at the DZ for 2 weeks to get fully certified.
If you read this – know wither you are an experienced jumper – or going for your first time you should choose Skydive Arizona. It’s worth it all the way around.
(As an aside – I repeat I don’t even live here so my happily raving about my experience is about as unbiased as you can get.) :-)
