They were very helpful and friendly from the 1st call to the end of the jump. Went with a small group from work and they were able to accommodate, when things changed on our end. Made us all feel safe and secure the whole way. They went above & beyond!Posted on Google![]()

Best day of 2024. “I was calm like a python 🐍” as we say in my country, exactly to the free dive jump, couple seconds of screaming and here I am soaking with a wonderful feeling of limitless air magnitude and horizon beauty. No more screaming. No more fear. Silence in my soul and head - be present in the moment of feeling alive, the feeling i needed so much to be reminded of. The nail standing the other day, I assume, helped me with parachute 🪂 experience - made me stronger just the day before the jump. So emotionally I really was excited and had no fear or nerves at all. Especially partnering with Chris and trying to earn the name of a best student!Posted on Google![]()
