I went skydiving for the first time here and had a fantastic experience. I called before to make a reservation for a friend and I, although it is not necessary to make reservations ahead of time as they take walk-ins. I went on a Sunday morning at 11 am, but they are open 7 days a week from 9 am until sunset. We showed up about 45 minutes early and they had no problem getting us started right then. We first signed some paperwork and watched a brief video, then met our instructors. They explained everything really thoroughly and definitely calmed my nerves. We went in August and the weather was extremely nice in the 70’s, but I chose to wear a jumpsuit just because they explained that the temperature drops by 2 degrees for every 1000 feet in the sky. My friend, however, just went in his normal clothes. I wore jeans, tennis shoes and a close fitting t-shirt(to help fit into the suit). The whole process of paperwork, video and education was less than 1 hour, which was great. Once we were up in the plane and got to the 10,000 feet, it was time to jump. They reviewed all the instructions again while up in the plane and made me feel at ease. It was such an amazing experience– unlike anything else in life! The free-fall was pretty crazy, but my favorite was parachuting down and taking it all in. Next on my list is to go at sunset! Highly recommend this spot.

I took my husband skydiving at Skydive Greene County for his 30th birthday and it was fantastic! The staff here are great, they couldn’t have done a better job! Even though I didn’t actually go skydiving myself(it was my husband, his brother & a friend) I still think the staff were great. They did a good job making me feel at ease(I was terrified to let my husband jump out of a perfectly good airplane!) and my husband had a blast. The tandem instructors were very thorough with their training before the jump and they were very friendly. My husbands tandem instructor was a guy named Brandon and he made me feel a little less nervous about the whole thing. The guy who did the video was great too, he tried to freak my husband out with jokes and stuff, but my husband was super calm so it turned out kinda funny. And the price was fantastic! They are having a special right now for their 50th anniversary so if you pay with cash then it’s only $ 165 which is WAY better than any other place I checked out. We threw in a video & pictures so the total came to about $ 270 which is still pretty damn good. So now my husband wants to go skydiving all the time and he made it look like so much fun that I am thinking about going for my 30th birthday too. Skydive Greene County made it so easy and fun, I think if I decide to actually do it myself I will definitely go back to them.
