Having been a skydiver many years ago, in looking for a site to tandem dive with family, the goal was a professional, safety conscious, thorough, reasonably priced and yet friendly group—and we found that in SDC. Safety was their primary concern, yet they still were on time and very personable: they wanted us to have as much fun as they did—and they delivered. My tandem coach Adam was awesome: matching our descent (free and canopy) to my experience and requests. Videographer Dan was talented, incredible to watch at work, and did a wonderful job. Even Peanut, not doing tandems our day, was on the ground calming the worries of my dear wife the entire time—he eased her fears as much as our family’s safe landing did. I cannot recommend Skydive Carolina enough: if you EVER wondered about the thrill, excitement and fun of skydiving, please make a trip to Chester SC: for us it was well worth 4-5 hrs driving!

Skydive Carolina has a wonderful combination of professionalism, attention to safety, and small-town friendliness. It was obvious from the moment we arrived that people knew and liked each other well. My daughter and I were each doing tandem Skydive’s. We placed our trust in our tandem instructors (Bill and Gene). We listened to all their instruction and then boarded the plane that would take us up to 14,000 feet. I was unsure how I was going to feel about the jump, but everything I read before was true. Though I’m afraid of heights, when Bill (my instructor) said it was time to go, I did exactly as I was taught. Once we were out the door of the planet, there was no sensation of falling. It was windy and loud, but Bill guided me along and I found I could relax a bit and enjoy myself. It was only 60 seconds of free fall and I feel like my senses were overloaded. Once the chute deployed, we slowed our descent and had even more of a chance to enjoy the sights. We did some turns and swung around several times. Then it was time to land. Bill told me to keep my feet up and we gently set down on our bottoms. It was wonderful.

Wow! What an awesome experience. The staff and crew at Skydive Carolina was very professional and well-organized. They work hard to make participants feel safe and at ease. For anyone who has never done skydiving before and may be nervous about trying it, the instructors and camera people know how to calm nerves and make the experience fun.

My daughter and I went for our birthdays and had a blast. If you have never been skydiving go here. Very professional and their excitement shows how much they love skydiving and want to pass on their love for it. We are already saving up to go back.

Skydive Carolina is a professionally run "drop zone" and I am very impressed with the business model and the staff. This was my third tandem jump, so I have experienced other drop zones and this was the best. It was a special occasion - taking my adult son and niece on their first jumps. Jumpmasters Peter, Gene, and Andrew were great and the photo/videographers made the experience even more fun! From the gift card purchase to scheduling, waiting a few days for the right weather (safety first), and then training and jumping, I felt extremely satisfied and safe with this DZ! I highly recommend you give it a try!

OMG!!! What a thrill my husband and myself had. I can not say enough about the whole experience, from checking in to jumping out of the plane. Everyone was very professional, and you could tell they all loved what they did. I jumped with Anthony and can not rave any more about how he did. We will definitely be back soon.

Wow! Skydive Carolina is the epitome of professionalism. This was my second jump, my husband's fourth and my son's first. From the moment we got there to the time we left, we were treated with total professionalism. The instructors, Casey, Anthony and Andrew were wonderful, as was our videographer, Quincy. They made the experience so much fun!!
A big shout-out to the woman in the office who let us borrow jumpsuits (even though they were not using them because of COVID). We were not aware that they were not going to be available this time and wore clothes that we would have frozen in. She found us a couple of suits and our jump was perfect because of it.
We already bought more jumps and can't wait to go again!!

Had an amazing time. Lauren done an excellent job on the video and photos they were perfect. Anthony was my instructor and made my first jump spectacular. It was an amazing father son experience and will definitely be coming back and would recommend skydive Carolina to anyone wanting the memory of a lifetime.

I've done (2) tandem jumps at Skydive Carolina now, and I couldn't love it more. Their team is one comprised of professionals who show great attention and care to their patrons. They take safety and fun seriously, and I have loved both experiences.
Going back again asap!!
