Skydive Vancouver

Absolutely awful service. Made a reservation for two on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and even called in prior to leaving the house to confirm the reservation and double check that the weather would hold up. The attendant said yes to both so we drove 45min to the site and made it 15min early. However, we were told that not only we would have to wait at LEAST 3 hours but we could no longer get photos or videos because they had «run out» for the day. It was absolutely ridiculous, so we ended up leaving and going to a place called ‘Skydive The City’ which was a great experience!

I just did my jump today to celebrate my friend’s birthday (and my own two months earlier) and I must say, it was quite an experience. Like nothing I have ever experienced pretty much. My instructor was very enthusiastic and guided me through the whole process.
If you ever decide to jump, make sure you buy the video. Sure, it’s like an extra $ 115 (for the cheapest option), but it’s an experience that you don’t want to forget!
If you’re ever there, ask for Brian. He’s awesome.

If you’re thinking about doing this, you should totally go! There’s really nothing quite like it!
When my legs were hanging out of the plane and I was looking down getting ready to jump, that was the scariest moment for me. I thought to myself that I was crazy for doing this. Literally a split second later adrenaline kicked in and I was ready for the world. Head back, arms crossed and away we go!
The freefall was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced. It was not scary at all. The 40 seconds of free falling was actually really exciting and addicting. I would totally go again in the future.
Also, if you go in a large group you can get a group discount or maybe we just got lucky! haha

Plunging into my 30’s never felt so goood!
was a little tricky getting here… but i think it was due to writing down the directions incorrectly… but we made it right on time.
we got checked in at the front and signed our lives away… then we met the divers we were going to be strapped on and we made our way to the first tent to change…
there is an option where you can video record your experience… but i decided to bring my own camera up to do the trick– only downside is there was no way i could record the free fall… but everything else i got!
the plane was small. quite a tight squeeze, but we got all 10 of us in…
they gave us (literally) a 3 min tutorial on how to move our bodies when jumping… and we were up and away!
the fly up is beautiful. the view is amazing… and the people there, soooo super cool!
gerry was my pro diver– over 15,000 jumps man! i think he said he is 66 years old! wow! while we floated down, he showed me the different views and pointed out which city was which… he was great.
if you are scared… lemme tell you this:
you have NO time to think about being scared. you sign in, change, fly through the tutorial. hop on the plane. once you are at 10,000 feet (yes, 10,000!!) — the door opens, you hang your feet out and before you can say any final words, you are FALLING.
i had 40 amazing seconds of free falling before the chute was opened. i screamed for a little bit– but stopped, there was really no point in doing that. and no, my life did not flash before my eyes.
landing was easy peasy! did it like a pro ;)
there are really no words to describe the jump… it is something you have to experience. this is a great place to do it at because they have their own air space and landing strip so you wont have to worry about airplanes flying by and making you wait.
would i do it again?
in a second!
but id like to jump outta a plane in a different country next time!
