What an awesome experience!! Thanks to Pine and the team at Skydive Deland for making my first jump so exciting. I’m ready to do it again….I’m hooked!

My first Jump was on my 80th birthday, after all if George H. Bush could do, so can I. He just did his 85th and I intend to do so when it is time. First time, my daughter,son and grand daughter jumped with me. HOOOORAYYY

My husband, my nephew and I all tried a tandem on May 15th. Although the experience was safe, it was disheartening that there was so little instruction. My husband and I, (albiet older), were very much interested in learning the sport. This was NOT just a chance to cross something off of our "bucket list". We felt that we were hurried through the experience. It would have been great if we were given an actual 30-minute instruction. That said, we will look in our area (Massachussets) for training on AFF to further our understanding. Thanks for a safe dive!!

I just want to post this link to a YouTube video I shot in 1994 in DeLand. I hope to get in touch with people seen in the movie.
Blue Skies!

I am 65 and was given this gift of skydiving by my two daughters for a Mother's Day present. WOWZIE is all I can say. Bob (instructor) and Edson (photographer) - you two were awesome. The experience of the freefall was extraordinary, and the parachute ride was exhilerating. What a fantastic video and CD of pictures. Great memories, plus the music and humor were added treats. Thank you so very much for the fun and fall. I would highly recommend Skydive DeLand. Loved it all.

Skydiving with Deland was very enjoyable. I don't know if they had everything planned when we fell out. But it was a better fall having another person falling beside you which you could interact with.
The video was terrific, it looked professionally made and the music keeps pumping my adrenaline every time I watch it. I have one question, I've gone hang gliding, I've gone skydiving...Now, whats the next big thing? ahaha

To everyone at Skydive Deland

We just wanted to write to say thank you for looking after us at Deland during our camp last week. We really appreciated your friendly and welcoming approach and your hard work to get us in the air, making sure that we got our jumps in whenever the weather was playing ball!

With best wishes and until next year,
Team Kaizen UK

Thanx for 4 great weeks at Skydive DeLand, see u all in August\September

Im 15 and ughh im kinda upset and mad that i have to wait 3 years to skydive. I guess the legal age is 18. Sounds like a ton of fun though
I want to overcome my fear before i graduate high school

Thanks to the entire Skydive Deland staff! My fiance and I had our first jump and are planning our AFF course now! Special THANKS to Rodrigo, Crash, Ray, and Lindsay - you were all super friendly and made our first jump totally memorable!

My first jump was yesterday. Tandem with Blikies. (Hope I spelled his name right) This was one of the most enjoyable days of my life! Floating past clouds in our beautiful Florida sunshine!More fun than whitewater rafting in Alaska, more fun that riding ATV's in Greece, more fun than horseback riding on the beach in Mexico! Skydiving is not crossed off my list as an "I did it". Skydiving is the top of my list as "I gotta do it again!"

My boyfriend and I shared our very first jump together while on vacation in Florida on Valentine's day! I just wanted to give a huge thanks to EVERYONE there for making it the best experience of our lives!! We hope to continue jumping for a very long time and cannont wait to do it again! Although we live in VA we will definitely be coming all the way back to Deland again! Our experience was so awesome we are coming back in three weeks! I look forward to seeing everyone there and having the time of my life again!!! An extra special thanks to Bobbie (for saving my life) and to Lindsay for creating memories that will last a lifetime for me!!! I hope to share my next experience with you two!! See you soon!!! Much love from VA!!

I am turning 18 on Saturday! And I am celebrating by going skydiving here at Skydive Deland! I can't wait!

Hi, I am looking forward for jumping with you on february 3rd 2009 ! Happy new year !

Hi Guys
I see you have done some building.
since I was last there

I came down there to visit a friend and did my first ever jump with Bob... who is fantastic. You guys have a great thing going, everyone was so friendly and helpful.

A special thanks to Bob and Joe for making it a once in a lifetime experience!

I want to thank everyone for a great, awesome and wonderful experience. For a wheelchair user its awesome to know you can do anything. Nothing I have done so far compares to my first jump. Thanks Bob you were awesome.

My friends and I had a blast on our jump yesterday! It was seriously the best birthday I have ever had

Hey! I was doing my AFF course in Venezuela (without coaching on the air and everything), and during my 2nd landing had an accident.

It really scares me a little, 'cause I did exactly what the instructor told me to on the radio, but apparently it didn't work, the wind changed, I still don't know for sure what happened.

I was so excited, in fact, I still want to finish my AFF course, but I prefer to come to DeLand

So, we'll probably meet soon... I need to get better of my leg first.

ps. sorry about my english

V!

Y'all have a very nice site. It is very well designed and integrates flash very nicely. I have never sky dived before, but very much want to try it. It was cool to be able to look through your pictures and read the FAQ on Tandem Sky Diving.

Halloween 2008!

Great party, thanks for the fun and an awesome hangover.

I am an older fan, I finished my AAF at beautiful DeLand in 1993 havent been back in years...but Brian was the best cameraman !! Great DZ, great atmosphere...& great Sandwiches

I jumped on Oct. 18th for my BIG 50! I've never had so much fun in my life. I felt very safe with Festi and the whole crew made everyone feel comfortable and welcome. I would do it again in a heartbeat!!!

I did my first tandem skydive on October 18th, and can't wait to go again. I think I found my new hobby. Rickstor did an awesome job on the video and pics.

I had my very 1st tandem jump Oct 11, 2008. Matt (instructor) did a great job explaining what I needed to do and making it lots of fun.It was absolutely the most incredible experience I could've ever hoped for. Mara created an incredible video and pictures Ill keep forever. I can't wait to go again. See you all soon.

Excellent. The experience and the service alike. My tandem jumper explained everything and made it a really smooth ride. If you're going skydiving, go here.

I kissed a girl for the first time in freefall, over Deland in 1976. Still remember that sloppy spit-pass! Met Bob Booth there and bought Wonderhog #76.

good times ---jamie
