My wife and I decided to finally go skydiving to celebrate our two-year wedding anniversary. After spending hours doing research on dropzones, I kept coming back to STF because of the consistently positive reviews. Let me tell you right off the bat: everything positive you read about STF is true. The atmosphere is friendly, the staff knowledgeable and the overall experience absolutely fantastic.
We arrived around 8:50 for our 9:00 appointment but didn't get up in the air until around 11 or so I think. Everyone was watching the weather since it had rained pretty heavily the night before and we were happy to wait to make sure the conditions were good. The waiting wasn't bad either since we got to chat with some of the staff and the other people making their first jumps that day as well.
My wife and I were on the first plane up and (after a few solo divers) we were the first (tandem) jumps of the day. I was a little shocked to see my wife drop like a rock out of that plane but when it was my turn, I couldn't do anything but smile all the way down.
Jeremy was my tandem instructor and he was awesome. Very friendly and knowledgeable and quick to answer any questions or concerns I had. Also, Jack the videographer was a LOT of fun and created some great memories of our experience with clean photos and a adrenaline-filled video.
My wife and I are discussing if we want to start our AFF training and I know if we do pursue that, it will be with STF!
Thanks to all the staff who made our day one to remember for a long time!
