I work in disaster preparedness/emergency management, so I am naturally picky when it comes to finding the best outfitter for one of my adventures. After researching the internet and hearing from some friends about their experiences with another local drop zone, I chose to have my first tandem jump at Skydive the Farm. After jumping yesterday 10/18 with Jeremy, I can say that this was one solid and sound decision!
I was greeted by the staff from the moment I arrived and shown where to go, what paperwork needed to be completed and where other various facilities were and I was repeatedly told to "make yourself at home" while I was there. All the contacts I had were professional and courteous at all times, while the overall atmosphere was laid-back, relaxed and fun.
After waiting a short while on other tandems to arrive, we watched a quick safety video and I met my tandem instructor, Jeremy. Once the video had hit the high points, it was off to get suited up. My instructor advised me of all the procedures while on the dive, from entry to the aircraft, to exit, during free-fall and then landing and always ask me if I had any questions for him.
Now in case you are wondering, the dive was a success! I had a lot of fun will definitely choose (and recommend to friends) Skydive The Farm for future skydiving adventures. If you have not tried this before and are thinking about it now, choose STF to make your first jump.
To the team at Skydive The Farm:
Thanks for a great adventure and stay safe. I will see you guys again soon.
take care,
Adam
