    This was my second time jumping with Skydive the Wasatch, same great experience. This time I brought along my wife and mom, who had nothing but good things to say. They both noted that the instructors made them feel very relaxed in the air, despite being 13k feet up. I'm looking forward to more jumps in the future. Definitely something you need to try at least once in your life.

    ABSOLUTELY EXHILARATING! Make the trip to Juab County. Leon and the Crew down in Nephi are fantastic. Leon punched my "jump card" if you will... Leon will show you a great time and leave you satisfied and smiling. You never forget your first time. So let your first time be the breath taking views of the peaks of Mt Nebo, and the sand dunes of little sahara out to the West.

    This is the first time I did a sky diving. My instructor Ethan is very helpful and encouraging. He guided me well about the steps and plan before making the dive. I love my skydiving experience at Wasatch.

    Skydive the Wasatch was an experience of a lifetime! The staff are awesome, very experienced and knowledgeable. I felt very safe and they made the whole experience a lot of fun! It was such a beautiful jump, the views of the Wasatch mountains are unbeatable. I loved the videos and photos, they turned out great and have been fun to share with my family and friends. I definitely recommend Skydive the Wasatch and can’t wait to go back for another jump!

    What a fantastic experience. My husband and I went for our 10 year anniversary and it did not disappoint! I've had a double knee replacement, and the landing was incredible and I had no pain on impact. They were thorough, enthusiastic, and supportive as my husband was very nervous. Can't wait to go again!

    I love this place and it is my refuge away from the stress and weight of life. Leon and his Team are a wonderful group of talented, safe, and extremely knowledgeable guys and gals. The multimedia options for your jump are a perfect token to remember "that one time", or even better, "the first of many". Come down to a beautiful city (Nephi) and take a leap to the wild side of life. Thank you for changing my life, Guys!

    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!!
