5 of us made reservations to this place on Sat for tandem jumps. when we got there we noticed there was a group of people already there waiting. Thinking that there may be more than one skydive instructor or that multiple tandem jumps can occur simultaneously, we found out immediately that there was only one skydive instructor for tandem and only one plane at that place. We also found out it took close to 30+ minutes/person. Considering that 5-6 people were already waiting meant our group had to wait at least 2-3 hours for our turn. So our scheduled reservation meant nothing and we were going to waste our time just sitting around waiting for these other people. What kind of management would schedule people at the same time w/ other groups if they only had one instructor for tandem?!?! We assumed that once we got there at our scheduled time, we would get suited up and ready to go after training. Not only that but the regular video guy was sick, and some inexperienced guy took his place. When we finished our skydive we went to check out our video and mine totally sucked and barely showed me for 5 seconds freefalling. When I asked why, the cameraman said he ran out of tape, and offered only a $25discount(dvd is $89). Also, for the video of the others in the group, our heads were barely in view and mostly chopped off. Not to mention that they also lost the tape for one of the guys in the group and he had to wait 2-3 hours after for them to find it. The only ok rating I would give is the skydive instructor. He was professional and answered all questions I had, and made me feel it was safe to jump. I actually felt bad for him cause he almost never took breaks and tried to accomodate everyone as quick as possible. By the way, my other friend told me that unlike Texas Skydiving, the other place he went too provided jumping suits and they were ready to jump once they got there during their scheduled time. Will never go back to this sh..ty place again.
Pros: cheaper than other places ($20 savings)
Cons: bad management, bad video, bad service overall
