Skydive Midwest

The jump was great the staff was terrible. Don’t spend the money on a video. We waited an hour and a half before they told us they didn’t actually have it. We are sitting in the parking lot still just waiting for our pictures to come out. The staff seemed like they couldn’t care less about assisting us. The whole hipster vibe is kinda cool, but when it results in poor customer service, it’s not worth it. I’ve dived at better more friendly locations.

This could easily have been a 5 star review if it were not for the staff. They seemed to have the ‘I don’t care’ attitude and a stamp right on their face. Very unprofessional, tuanting eachother in front of the customers and other stuff which would just put you off. They kept us waiting at the reception counter over some arguement 2 of their staff had over who was eating food when they shouldn’t and leaving it at the counter.
The wait for the dive was usual, this was my second skydive, first one being at skydive chicago, and I would say you should be prepared for the wait. Take a day off and go for the skydive.
The dive itself was great, the instructor was awesome, the view fantastic!
The video guy took almost 2 hours to make the video which seemed like alot of time. When we asked at the reception about how long the video would take coz we waited for an hour already and if they could expedite the process, all te staff member could say was «There is nothing we can do, you gotta wait or collect it later.». She seemed like she couldn’t care less which totally pissed us off.
Lastly, there is not a lot to do in this area so you might want to plan your trip ahead and visit the mall or some eateries, coz there are good places to eat around, one that we loved was Jose’s Blue Sombrero in Mt. Pleasant.
I would explan my experience to anyone who asks me about good places to skydive and leave the decision to them. My experience — OK

I just went here on Sunday with my family and jumped with my dad, husband, cousin and friend… we all had a great time and wonderful jumping experience. Our time was delayed due to it raining when we got there, if this happens to you I would suggest bringing food, cards, computer, stuff to do. Even if the weather isn’t bad, bring stuff to do… your wait may not be that long, but you will want something to do in the meantime. There is not much to do in the area. I would also suggest checking in really early in the morning, like 7 or 8am, even if they tell you 9am, then go do something and come back. Go to the outlet mall or eat or whatever. I would also recommend getting the video!!! My husband and I were hesitant about getting it, but we got it and I am SO glad we did. It’s nice to have something to look at later =) You will probably wait a little longer because you’ll need a camera guy to go with you, it is worth it. If you have sinus problems, don’t forget to take some sinus medicine before going up. Oh! When you land, your pants may get dirty due to skidding on grass for the landing… so wear pants that you don’t mind getting grass stains on. Mine and my dad’s pants didn’t have any on them, but my husband’s and cousin’s pants and many others we saw there had pretty bad stains. The staff there are is really cool, nice and funny. Although delayed by the weather, things were fairly organized. It was a great experience and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!
