Skydive Perris

I surprised and took my wife skydiving back on jan19. It was simple to call and make a reservation for tandem. They take a $ 50 deposit and you sign up for a timeslot. We arrived (easy to find) and walked into the office. Our appointment was for 9:30am. If you fill out the waiver on line, things go a tad faster. We were shown the video and asked to wait briefly. There really was no one else during out time slot. within 30mins, we were called to meet our instructors. I forgot my guy but my wife got Beau. They were both very friendly and calmed our nerves down. We were on board within a matter of minutes. Everything was very professional thus far. My guy gave me very specific instructions while Beau was more relax and started giving her instructions during the last 1 – 2 mins. The whole process was fun and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. From start to landing, I would give the company 5 stars…
Here is where things are a little messed up… I had ordered the basic gro pro video package for myself (approx $ 70) and that came with just the handheld go pro video. I got my wife the Pro package (approx $ 160) and that came with an extra camera person who was suppose to also take videos and stills for us. The whole process was great and we were excited to see the picture. We were told to return to the video pickup room about 20 mins later. My cd was ready and we tested it out and it looked great. When we asked for my wife, the guy looked a tad confused but said he was going to start working on it, so please return in 30 mins (I think he didn’t know there was another one to do). So we walked around and headed back. Sure enough, in 30 mins he had it done and it was in a USB drive as I had requested. We opened it up and watched the video and it was great. I didn’t think to check the stills (since we were now in a hurry to get home) and to my horror, when we opened it up, we found stills of another asian girl. I have no idea how that happened. We were all excited to post pics on FB and Unilocal but we couldn’t. I wrote the company back and they told me they couldn’t retrieve the files. and initially they offered to credit the difference between the pro and basic package. I told them this was unacceptable since it wouldn’t bring back the memories. Finally I got through to a manager who did his best to make it right. He went back and had them take stills off of my videos. Quality was ok, but not what I had expected. He also offered to give me a free package if we were to jump again (not planning on it).
All in all, the experience was good. I still can’t give them a 5 star for the lack of thoroughness.

This was our 2^nd time here (and I still haven’t jumped!) The first was to watch the Australian national team attempt a world record. It was so neat to watch and everyone was so nice and friendly and several stopped to talk to our 4 year old and show him things on or about the parachutes. The 2^nd time was a birthday gift to our 18 year old who has been waiting and waiting to be able to jump. The whole experience was so nice. From checking in to filling out paperwork to waiting until our name got called, was only about 30 minutes. The rest is according to my son… the jump was amazing, the instructor was very friendly and experienced, took his time to point out things while in the air and the landing was soft (be still a mother’s heart). We would love to come back out and try the indoor skydiving. Until next time!

This review is long overdue. Let’s start by saying, I am probably the only person writing a review for Skydive Perris who has actually not jumped out of a plane here. Yes, I did not skydive here, because I am a big chicken. I was, however, at an event with Pancreatic Cancer Action Network with three friends who are pancreatic cancer survivors and their friends who chose this day to celebrate by skydiving.
It was windy day in Perris, so because condition were not safe enough until the winds died down, our group had to wait until conditions permitted safe jumping. Only one of the people jumping, had actually skydove before, so it was a new and nail-​biting experience for the others who were having to wait.
All my friends went with the tandem package that included video, still photos, etc. They took the educational/​safety course before the jump. They were weighed and outfited in their gear
I was really impressed by the staff here. They put my friends’ nerves at ease and talked them through a lot of questions. The videographers were great, here, too. The tandem instructors and videographers have literally 1000’s of jumps of experience behind them. The videographer, who was jumping with several of my friends, was giving me a really hard time about not skydiving. He would jump with me and nothing bad would happen. I told him, perhaps in the future ;)
Watching my friends sky dive and talking to them after the experience was amazing. They were all so excited afterwards. I have to admit, watching them leave the plane, way up in the air, until the time they pulled the chute with their tandem instructor until they were safely on the ground,
I was holding my breath, especially so for my three friends who were pancreatic cancer survivors. My friend, Mike, who was healthy enough to skydive but extremely frail from his pancreatic cancer was, treated with such care by the staff. There are many places to sit and observe outside, and there is a small café to grab some food, also.
All the staff are friendly and work so very well together there. I know all my friends had an awesome experience and it was definitely a life altering moment for them, especially for my friends who were celebrating their pancreatic cancer survival. Very sadly, my friend, Mike, passed away this year after fighting a long battle with his pancreatic cancer. I am grateful to the kind staff at Skydive Perris for making his wish come true of skydiving while he was still healthy enough to do so. I highly recommend Skydive Perris for your first tandem skydive. I am hoping I can some day be brave enough to take a jump here, too.

My tandem/​instructor was Rom and he was the best! I felt so comfortable from the moment he helped put on my gear — to walking to the plane — to the jump and landing. Even while in the air he was awesome! He was so full of energy during the freefall that there was no time to be afraid — it was just so exhilarating! Once the chute opened he talked to me, pointed out the local lakes, and just really made the whole experience wonderful and memorable. It was my first time skydiving and I can’t imagine it being any better than it was. Thanks, Rom!!!
Also have to give a shout out to Dalten Kadow, the guy who took the video/​photos. He was fantastic as well — friendly, lively, and so pleasant to deal with… thank you, Dalten!

I went to skydive Perris recently for a trip – and let me just share with you my experience.
Everything started off great. They served food, like they do in most airports, as well as beverages (hydration is key when flying). They even had a pool to lay out by, LAX doesn’t even have that!
Nonetheless, things got stranger as the trip continued. They made us wear costumes, and the normal safety briefing lasted longer than most flights I had been on. The plain was very rickety, and the seating was uncomfortable. I thought, considering it was a private flight, that it would be much more luxurious. Others around me looked so nervous – it was as if the plane was going to crash at any second! However, I brushed it off and continued on, knowing my destination should be there soon.
Then, the strangest thing happened. I shit you not – I WAS PUSHED OUT OF THE PLANE. I legitimately fell out of a plane. Luckily, others on board that had paid attention to the safety briefing had used the hover devices to save me, but boy was that a way to mix up the day eh?
Anyways, fell out of the plane but still beautiful facilities, have you seen the pool?!

Wow. Just wow. I still can’t stop thinking about my day at Skydive Perris!
I have never jumped before or even thought about jumping until my brother asked me to tag along. So you know I was nervous and scared!
I did the AFF ultimate first jump course $ 350 and boy you learn a lot! I seriously went into skydiving with no knowledge of skydiving at all. They give you a six hour class that includes training with the chutes, wind tunnel, malfunctions, landing, ect. So basically everything you need to know.
My instructor was Kyle and he was great! He answered all my questions and taught me everything I need to know in my level 1 training jump. He also jumped with me out of the plane and handled me safely! He also helped calm me down in the plane very well before the jump which I really appreciate!
In the end, I landed on my feet on my first jump!
I know the go pro video is a expensive but I think it’s worth it on your first jump! I’m constantly looking back on my video and keep getting goosebumps every time! Plus it’s s good laugh when you look through your jumping pics hehe.
Overall, this was a great experience and I can’t wait to come back to finish my level 2 training!

I had one of the best times ever here, it was my first jump and the crew at skydive Perris made me feel comfortable Chris my instructor did a great job at keeping it simple and not having me stress out with a bunch of instructions. Can’t wait to do this again thanks.

I went to the tunnel to improve my body positioning for my AFF training. The instructor, Curt, explained everything, answered all my questions and gave me very helpful feedback! All staff is friendly as well.

Decided to skydive for my 35^th birthday and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Romulo was my instructor and he made the experience amazing! I am still on an adrenaline high,…what a f*ckin experience! AMAZING wish I could of done this so much sooner!!! The entire staff was professional and super nice. Will definitely be back to jump again! Thanks Perris Skydive!

My first Tandem Jump. This was meant to be a one time bucket list item but I’ll definitely be back for more. The only thing I regret is I should have done this sooner. The whole Perris staff was professional and my instructor Adrian Bond was awesome along with my Cameraman Ben Summers. I will never forget this day (August 16, 2015) and I’ll be back, I’m 51 years old so if I can do it, you can do it and don’t wait as long as I did.

Great experience with a great staff, I took my friend for his bday and we had a blast! It’s nice that they have a restaurant there while your waiting and a pool area. The jump suits are cool and fun to get photos
There are 2 reasons this place didn’t get 5 stars.
1. Get the pro video!!! or don’t get anything at all, the basic video is 45sec of u diving and that’s it, not worth throwing away your $. Just fork over the extra cash to get the pro, you will regret it if you don’t.
2. I really wish they would ask you if you want to be spun while diving, being spun 5 – 7 times continuously makes you feel woozy. Just mention it before your jump and I’m sure they won’t.

Amazing experience! Everyone was light hearted, so we weren’t nervous, and we could tell safety was important to everyone. Everyone looks out for each other.
This experience changed my life! After jumping out of a little plane at 12,500ft, noting can scare me. It was an amazing feeling!
I jumped tandem with Dalton, and he was great. If they tell you in the plane that their first jump was two months ago, don’t believe them. They like to mess with your head.
Our only issue was that the wrist camera for my boyfriends video malfunctioned, but we were given a partial refund.
I can’t wait to come back for the solo jump class!

Tandem Skydiving was such an amazing experience! From booking to landing, everything was smooth and well organized.
Simeon was my instructor and he was so professional and fun! He made my first jump unforgettable!
I will definitely be coming back here with more friends and family. It was a dream come true :)

The staff is great very organized. Friendly helpful. They make you feel better and calm for a great experience. We eat at the bomb shelter for breakfast because we had got there early the food was good & coffee was on point. Finally ready for the big Jump lol My instructor was name Chris he did an excellent job on the Video recorder and made me feel safe. The hardest part is the plane going up knowing that you are about to jump thousands of feet down so just try to take deep breaths and think you are Captain America jumping off the plane in Marvel The Avengers that should help haha. We had a good time talking about our jump & other stuff. Overall a great experience plus you get a free Tshirt if you like them on Facebook :)

What an amazing experience! The instructor Angie was amazing and kept me alive for the best time ever.
Thanks Angie!!!

This place is amazing. Best facility, best crew… Thanks a ton to Angie and Joe… I am coming back for sure :)

Excellent experience. It may seem pricey at first but for your first jump, the amenities, instruction, staff, and safety are ALL worth it. The place is busy all day and the excitement from the inexperienced to the expert jumpers is seen everywhere. Emmanuel was my instructor and he answered all my questions, guided me, and we had a blast! Curt was the photographer and he captured every crazy expression before, during, and after the 12 000 ft jump.
The pro photo package is worth it. We went with a group and the school has a nice lady in the back doing QA on all the videos & photos. They acknowledged, on their own, that one guy in our group didn’t have very many photos in his package and gave us a partial refund. Thanks Perris Family!
Tips:
Wear comfortable clothes. Plan on being there a good portion of the day. Depending on the weather you may not jump for a couple hours. Even if you signed the on line waivers be prepared to do a bit more paperwork there andbe video recorded reading an acknowledgement statement. Enjoy!

Great customer service. I booked the adventure with Mary, who was a complete sweetheart. She answered all my little questions, which was a lot because I was proposing to my girlfriend after we landed!
They helped keep it a secret, they told the photographers, and everyone that was on need to know list. I gave the ring to Shazza (sp) and she was there at the landing to give it to me.
We did the Sensory Overload, which is the indoor skydive, and then the tandem jump. If you have any doubts on wanting to do this, do the indoor first because it will help you with your tandem. Everything went perfectly, and I really want to thank everyone at Skydive Perris that helped make my big day amazing!
Quick facts:
–Tandem experience isn’t that bad, it’s not that scary, you will enjoy it!
–Indoor is a little harder than expected, but still cool
–Make sure you do your paperwork online at home to make it quicker.
–A few places to eat and drink. AND A POOL
–HAVE FUN!

WOW! That’s all I have to say here! Such an amazing time and GREAT STAFF!!! Came here for my stepdads birthday and we did the solo jump. Took the class and then was able to jump. I highly recommend it here especially if it’s your first time jumping. Gonna be back in 30 days to do my level two jump

Accomplished #2 on my bucket list so this is obviously my first time tandem skydiving. I wanted to get the ultimate package but it was going to cost around $ 340 so I bought the regular tandem skydiving with the basic video package which costs $ 248. There is a $ 50 nonrefundable deposit. Even if you don’t go on the day you booked it, you can go whenever you want because you have paid the $ 50 deposit.
Getting there was a breeze especially because there was a huge Skydive Perris banner. Parking is also a breeze. Free and large lot. We walked through the Skydiving School area, signed a ton of forms, and watched 2 videos. The wait is usually 45 minutes and you are assigned an instructor.
The staff was extremely helpful. My instructor was nice. He was a little bit strict but that is because you are jumping 12,500 feet. He did not mind that I asked a ton of questions, whether it was dumb or not. We waited to get on the plane and he repeated instructions so i don’t forget. As we got up, I was first to jump off and it was an incredible experience.
It looked like I was looking at Google Maps. I didn’t scream or open my mouth because I was afraid it would affect my breathing. I got to pull the parachute. And he taught me how to make turns on the parachute. It was so much fun. Your stomach does feel a little funny as if you are on your first rollercoaster.
The landing was smooth and we got to take pictures with our instructors. Our DVD was then created and burned, and we got our free «I Jumped» shirt. Best $ 248!
