I loved every sec. My instructor was amazing. He even got a lil crazy int he sky just like I asked in an effort to make my experience everything I wanted it to be. This was a bucket list for my 50th birthday. It was so cold it took my breathe away for a minute. I just told myself to stay calm and breathe. you can also scream because that helps with breathing. I would do this a hundred more times. The video is worth the money. The pictures and video were epic!. These guys are 100 - completely professional, compassionate and experienced.

Once the weather cooperated it was awesome. Be prepared that you might not get to go if the weather is not correct for skydiving. I am horrified of heights but love a challenge. I knew I could trust these guys who do this all the time for years. Moose was my tandem guy and was awesome with his humor. Moose was more than experienced and provided a comforting experience for someone like me. He did a great job pointing things out while we were flying around. He showed me how to guide the parachute myself. It was a blast. You MUST do the video! John was my camera guy and was incredible. He too was a great guy and made the experience extra fun. The video is just incredible. Just do it.

I had the greatest experience at Paraclete XP last week skydiving from 13,500 feet. I jumped for my 80th birthday with my daughter and her boyfriend. We had the best time of our lives. It is our new addiction and we’ll be back. Highly recommend!!!

This is a great place to sky dive for your first time or your hundredth time. They are centrally located near Raleigh, but close to Fort Bragg so good combination of divers. They have two planes and you can get 5-10 jumps in a day if you want. Their instructors are well trained, friendly, and they take the time to tell you what's going on for your jump, and also about the sport in general. Had a great time.

After years of telling everyone I wanted to go skydiving but my wife would not let me, she finally called my bluff and made reservations for me on my 40th birthday!. :) I could not have been more pleased with the experience. All of the members of the Paraclete team were friendly and professional, and nearly all of them are military or ex-military with many years of personal and professional skydiving experience. They explained the entire process concisely but thoroughly and made sure my dad (who is also jumping to celebrate his 68th birthday!) and I were comfortable with each step of the plan. We paid to have a videographer jump with us as well, and they were engaging and encouraging, clearly wanting to get us the best video memories possible.
The process was efficient and proceeded without delay. We each participated in a tandem jump with an instructor at about 14,000 feet. This allowed for approximately one minute of free fall and about five minutes of gliding down under the chute. It was, for me, a life altering experience, and one I hope to repeat.
We have not tried it yet, but they are also one of the few facilities around which has indoor skydiving. I look forward to going back and taking my seven-year-old son and my wife and trying out this unique opportunity as well.
Highly recommended!

My tandem partner was phenomenal and made my first sky diving experience an amazing one. He made sure I felt at ease and had fun. Can’t wait to go back!

First time and my experience was truly amazing - the weather tanked my original jump day but that couldn't be helped. When I was able to jump - they allowed me to come back at any convenient time for me and we rescheduled for a few days later - it was smooth and straight-forward from start to finish. I can't give enough stars for our jump people! Thanks so much for a very memorable birthday gift.

Hello-I’m thinking about going skydiving for my birthday in a few weeks. I’ve seen on other skydiving websites that charge extra for people over a certain weight-I’m just wondering if you have any sort of weight restrictions or additional charges like the other places?
