    The team at skydive the Wasatch was incredible, super smooth experience and really cool people to work with. The jump was one of the most exciting things I’ve ever done, and they also helped me put together a proposal for my now fiancé which I couldn’t have done without them! On top of all that Andrew has the nicest plane for sure, can’t recommend this place enough!!

    This was my first skydive ever and I had no idea what to expect but Chris and all the other guys kept it really lighthearted and answered every question thoroughly. Even their dog Carl helped ease my nervous tension. My tandem buddy has 23 years of experience under his belt so I felt totally safe- even when he let me steer the ropes 🙂 I hope I can come back very soon!

    My mother-in-law has had a dream of skydiving for years and years. Despite her poor physical health, she was determined. Leon was amazing and did everything in his power to ensure a PERFECT landing. It was so awesome! She hasn't stopped talking about it since!
