skydive snohomish

The whole experience of my first ever jump was great. A quick 20 min video followed by a quick instruction and we were ready to suit up. Then soon after we hopped on the plane and enjoyed a very beautiful ride up to 13.5K feet. Skies were perfectly clear and we could see for many miles. My tandem partner/instructor, Vlad, made the experience very enjoyable. He has somewhere over 17,000 jumps. Wow! I didn't need to even think much, I just smiled while he pushed us from the plane and we flew down towards the Earth. The initial jump is my favorite part because of the excitement build up and the cool stomach drop you get like on a roller coaster. Once we pulled the chute Vlad gave me the controls and showed me how to steer. He then took the controls before we landed and he put us down so gently I just put my feet down and I was standing still. It was flawless. It was the best birthday surprise I've ever had.

I had been planning on going skydiving here for over a year and when I finally got my chance to, I was not disappointed. I had a great instructor who was very knowledgable and friendly, as well as the other staff being very helpful. Experience of a lifetime, hope to return again in the near future.

Everything about this experience was amazing, starting with the people at the front desk: super friendly, super helpful. The atmosphere of the whole place is laid back with couches and coffee and a vending machine. They have activites to do while you're waiting your turn on the ground. The instructors obviously love their jobs and are committed to making your experience a blast. Jordan was super friendly and fun. I'm ready for round two! And three and four :)

This was my first jump. Either i am super brave, or Vlad did an amazing job of making me feel safe and comfortable (It was definitely the latter). Vlad explained in detail everything he was doing or would be doing. By the time we were about to jump, i trusted Vlad completely and it allowed for me to fully immerse myself in the jump. He also did an amazing job with the GoPro. He captured footage before loading the plane, on the plane, and even once we had landed. This allowed for a much more satisfying final product.The whole experience lived up to the hype. Would go again.

You couldn't be in better hands with Skydive Snohomish. I was terrified to jump out of a plane, but the staff there helped me relax and enjoy myself. Everyone I spoke with tried to make a genuine connection, and let me know exactly what to expect next. Their introduction video reassured me that safety was their number one focus and the instructors had a fun way of presenting it. As for the jump? AMAZING. The feeling is inexplainable, but everyone I've talked to agrees it was one of the best things they've ever done. All I can say is I've finally overcome my fear of heights!

I took a friend here for skydiving and we had such a great time. The instructors were fun and well trained. Everything seemed very professional and safe!Although a bit pricey, it was great. I'd go here again!

"I had the time of my life! Every staff member I came in contact with was more than helpful with plenty of smiles. I decided to jump for my 30th bday last year and due to the weather I wasn't able to jump for a year later. With anticipation building for a year I wasn't really sure what to expect. I was not let down at all (I have the pictures to prove it). Needless to say, I'll be back! "

"My wife gave me a gift certificate for my 70th birthday for my first jump. It was a thrill and I was so impressed with Skydive Snohomish and their professionalism. My instructor, Vladimir, really was great. The only problem is now that I have completed my first Skydive, I can't wait to do it again. After watching me and the other groups that went that day now my wife wants to do it with me next time around. "

So glad I did it, it was amazing!!! Spend the extra money for the video you won't regret it, I promise!

Skydive Snohomish is one of the most well run "experience" attractions I have ever been to. They are run like a Tony award winning Broadway production. Every single person we encountered was genuine and caring but professional and on top of their game. We were told to arrive at 4:00 for a 4:30 class time. (We got there a bit early and watched several other jumpers!) There is a 5 minute electronic questionnaire/release you must complete. At 4:30 we first watched a 15 minute video on what to expect and what was expected physically of us. Then CODY whirled in and "tested" us on our physical ability to "arch" and also to be able to hold our legs up for landing. He clearly explained how entertaining it would be for him and the spectators if our legs touched down before his. We were then assigned our jump group, and told where and when to meet. 15 minutes prior to our jump we got into our jump suits, instructor strapped us into our harness and then it was picture time. You do pay a hefty fee for video and/or pics but we are glad we did. The chutes are being prepared in the staging area so you can see all that goes into it. All of the gear is in great shape. They have goggles that can accommodate glasses so no excuses there! Plane arrives, get on board, and off you go. It is VERY cozy but there is a great energy. You get to walk on to the plane but once in you sit with your back up tight to your instructors chest so he can attach the 4 points on the harnesses. And I do mean tight. When he breathes you breathe! I felt completely safe. As we were first on we were last off. Everything happens SO incredibly fast at this point. Door opened, the solo jumpers were out, first two tandem groups out, our 18 year old son out, then us! There are NO WORDS that can describe this feeling. Won't even try. 13,500 feet of space between you and the ground. The first 5 seconds is at about 180 mph then a little shoot deploys to slow you to 120 mph. For the next 50 seconds you are plummeting to earth. You can tangibly feel gravity like nothing you have felt before. You can also sense the dramatic change in temperature. Then in an instant your are halted and dropped into a state of flying/descending that shocks your senses. Going from feeling utterly out of control to virtual total control is a little much to process in the span of 5 seconds. Try your hardest to stay totally in the moment and absorb as much as your possibly can. Keep your head up and look around. Talk to your instructor!! They are fascinating people. Special shoutout to my instructor Kory who at 28 years old has over 3000 jumps. He and the other instructors make 13-14 jumps per day to help us enjoy our lives a little more! We will be back as soon as we can! Whether you go once or start a lifetime activity you will walk away with a sense that you just did something pretty darn cool. Might even be a little proud of yourself for having the nerve to do it!

This was a wonderful experience and the whole time I felt safe and in good hands with the instructors. I shared this experience with my daughter and a coworker. The anticipation as you make the altitude climb and the flow of adrelalin as you leave the safety of the aircraft with almost a minute free freefalling is a rush you need to experience. Seeing the smile on my daughters face afterwards and floating above Snohomish is just a magical experience. I also chose to have the video option so I would never forget the dive and highly suggest doing so.
