    I don't think my experience skydiving could have been any better! The staff was so friendly and helped me feel at ease throughout the whole process. They made me laugh and gave some pretty good pep talks, too! I will definitely be going back!

    Also, buy the video! It seems a little pricey but it is so worth it! I have already watched mine 50 times!

    What a great group people to share this experience with! Skydiving can be a nerve wracking experience to begin with but meeting the incredible people who work here instantly put our concerns at ease. My girl had a great jump for her 18th birthday and it was all because of these experienced and talented people. The location is also so much more beautiful then jumping in SL. I highly recommend making the drive to Nephi and jumping with Skydive the Wasatch!

    AWESOME dropzone! The owner and staff are professional, yet super fun to be around. The plane ride up is breathtaking and the instructors calm your nerves by telling jokes, singing, and giving you a freezepop (my favorite part).

    This place knows what they are doing! Stop reading this review and go skydiving now 🙂

    Just came to watch my father in law jump but brought back great memories of when I jumped 2 years ago in Tooele. Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. Lots of fun.
