    Phenomenal experience, professional team. I went for my first time and for my 53rd birthday. Scott Z was my tandem jump instructor. I had a blast. I had zero nerves and would consider getting certified.

    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!

    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!

    My husband and I went for my birthday and had an amazing time! Everyone was so nice and helpful. We dove with Leon and Ethan who were very professional and fun. They got some great pictures and videos and were very excited for us since it was our first time. Felt very safe the whole time.

    My daughter and I had an amazing experience jumping today. We drove from hours away but our experience with Skydive the Wasatch was well worth it. We did tandem skydives with Ethan and Monte and have absolutely zero complaints. They were fun and professional but so was every other person we came in contact with while there. We were laughing and joking with all the employees and just had a lot of fun. The dives were amazing. We felt well taken care of and comfortable. Perfect first time experience.

    Adam was an amazing instructor! He explained everything so it wasn’t as scary as I thought it was going to be. I actually had quite a bit of fun in the air (I got to control the direction of the parachute). I am totally looking forward to booking my next jump soon!
