    This was, by far, one of the best experiences that I’ve had and the staff and jumpers that were there to help were AMAZING! If I could give more then 5 stars I would!

    This was my second time going skydiving! The first time I went to Tooele. Both are very amazing places to go! Skydive the Wasatch was a very personalized experience! My friend and I were able to ask anything we wanted and got a response right away. We were taken care of and the whole staff felt like a family. I trust skydive the Wasatch with my life!

    Had a fantastic, exhilarating, and high confidence experience with Skydive the Wasatch. I went solo and they were great and efficient. Loved the coaching and courtesy with my questions. Because I was the only one in the time slot I was able to get prepped, fly up, make the dive, and watch my video within an hour. Thanks for the wonderful time and helping with checking something off my bucket list.

    MUST GOOOOO! Skydive the Wasatch is incredible. The views are breathtaking, and the staff is incredibly accommodating. Leon, Rob, Dan, and Tanner did everything they could to make me and my group comfortable. As first time jumpers, the nerves were high but we felt secure and had an absolute blast. We laughed the whole way up!! Couldn’t recommend more.

    these guys are super chill, the instructors are fantastic and definitely know what they are doing. i felt 100% safe the entire time. our group was met with nothing but hospitality the whole time we were there and they were very accommodating to us in virtually every aspect. (we did have to reschedule a couple times due to inclement weather, but that’s far outside anyone’s control) the overall experience was just fantastic and i hope to jump with these guys more in the future!

    Really enjoyed the experience. Booking online was simple along with signing the indepth waiver. My tandem flight instructor was a really chill guy who was attentive but not over the top. This is something I have always wanted to do and I am happy this is where I ended up for my first jump. Yall are great!
