The folks at Skydive Snohomish make every experience extremely memorable. Reply Report abuse. Thank You! It was Great!! We had a group of nine people celebrating my father-in-law's 80th birthday and it was such a memorable experience! Everyone was so nice and professional and made the experience so fun. The family has someone with an 18th birthday coming up this summer, so we will be back in July! He was so calming and informative and talked to me the whole time. I didn't have a single nerve shaking in my body until we fell out of the plane! I really enjoyed being his partner and I will make a point of requesting him next time I jump.
Please relay my "thanks" to Vladimir from his friend, Cindy! Thank you, again. See you in July!
Cindy Snider Monroe, WA more. Just do it! If someone were to ask how my first! The staff were extremely friendly, knowledgable and accomodating. Lyndsi was amazing at managing the registration of the would be jumpers and I appreciated her patience in working around our nerves! The instructors Todd is a riot! We only had to remember 3 key things Have fun and smile, Arch, and Lift your feet.
I mean, really, how much information can one handle under such extreme excitement? And what more could one ask for but a "Russian with no shirt" to help suit us up!? Jordan my instructor was amazing. He has a soothing calm expertly blended with a passionate appreciation for his sport. Thanks Jordan! What a rush! And last but definitely not least, to complete our experience was the video editing. Matt you rock! Thanks for coming up with a quick solution to the music mix-up.
I LOVE the video! Thanks everyone. You made our first experience exceptionally memorable. See you again VERY soon. Angie with her girls, Karen and Stephanie more. Dear folks, A quick comment on my jump yesterday. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. I found everyone I had contact with to be helpful, reassuring and professional. I especially want to thank Vladimir for the jump itself. He was friendly and professional; he let me help "guide" the chute as we came down, and he got us both down safely!
I would recommend him, and your jump center, to anyone. It was a 65th birthday I will enjoy reliving for a long time! Vlad suggested we get together again on my 70th - maybe!! I didn't have a chance to thank the pilot so please pass this on to him for me. Have continued great jumps. Sharon Ellwood more. Jordan was my instructor and he was awesome! Seems like each time gets easier and I can relax and enjoy. Jordan was very thorough in telling me everything, and made sure my jump was memorable.
Thanks you guys, all of you do such an amazing job, can't hardly wait for my next birthday to come and do it again! I now look forward to getting older! Patty Kossak. Just wanted to drop you all a quick note to say how much fun I had during my first dive this past Sunday. I was with 2 other friends and the 3 of us came away from that experience as changed people. The staff and instructors were fantastic and obviously enjoy passing on their passion for the sport. I'm already hooked, and looking forward to my next jump. Thanks again, see you soon!
Patrick Dutra. Thanks to all at Skydive Snohomish for making my first tandem skydive - my first skydive - a fantastic experience. Loved it - after leaving the plane! A special thanks to Kelley for making the skydive a thrilling yet safe ride. I now have 1 skydive to his almost 5, skydives!
Hope to do more, but don't think Kelley has to worry about my catching up to him. I just have one thing to say, I had an amazing time.
The service was great, the people where great, and the jump was great! I really can't think of anything that would make jumping out of a plane more fun. When my friends ask me how it was, I have a hard time finding word to describe the wonderful experience I had at Snohomish Sky Diving. It was all I expected and much much more. Dear Skydive Snohomish, A few days ago I was lucky enough to participate in one of your tandem skydives, sharing the experience with my girlfriend. We sprung for the higher altitude drop which I do not regret in the least.
Overall, I could not have asked for a better experience, but here is the story in full detail. My instructor was Jordan and her's was Todd. I'll speak mostly from my own experience because Sherah will be writing her own testimonial, but I can safely say that we both had an amazing experience which was a direct result of being matched with these two guys.
I was extremely scared to jump out of a plane. This was all my girlfriend's idea. Although I enjoy climbing and mountaineering, I am incredibly scared of heights. I'm not sure if Jordan could read this on me or if I just lucked out, but he was exactly what I needed: It was very professional how he matter-of-factly told me what was going to happen and what he needed me to do, but he was also very personable and friendly. Todd was a bit more exciting and joked around, which was still enjoyable, but Jordan's calm confidence made me feel calm and confident.
I had such an amazing time! While I was married I lost who I used to be. Upload your resume - Let employers find you. Are you ready to take the most exhilarating step you are likely ever to take in your life? Thanks for giving me a count before pulling the parachute cord.
There was never a doubt in my mind that we would land safely. On the plane Jordan pointed out all of the major landscape features: Rainier, Baker, San Juan Islands, etc. We even had enough time to get to know each other a little better on the ride up to 14, feet. Although the freefall and parachuting felt like it went by quickly, we had enough time for Jordan to allow me to drive the parachute.
He and Todd also brought my girlfriend and I next to each other during the parachute down. This was a very special experience to be within 20 feet of each other, and it was a much appreciated gesture on their part that made our skydiving together even more of a shared event. Bottom line: AND I will be asking for Jordan specifically. Thank you so much. I won't forget this day for the rest of my life. Jumping off a plane was a wild dream of mine since childhood. At the age of 57, I finally did it at Snohomish , WA. Of course I was nervous as any first timer should be.
But Vlad, my tandem buddy made me comfortable enough before take off. Then shortly after the briefing I was away. Into the skies, on a clear sunny day. I was the second one to dive. Was I tense? Just before, And the most exciting!!! Then came the 'Free fall'. It was a feeling, I felt, I never felt before. At around feet , the calm came after. Looked around and saw the snow capped mountains and lakes. I even got to see the Seattle skyline. The soft landing took away another great fear of mine. Thanks Vlad Thanks Snohomish Skydive at Harvey Field.
Will I do it again? Actually I felt like doing it right away. Stephen From India. Skydive Snohomish, thanks for all that you do there and the excellent job in which you do it! My friend and I went to celebrate my 27th birthday and I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate! I don't know what I'm gonna do next year to top this one! From the moment we walked in the doors your staff made us feel welcomed and relaxed, helping put our nerves at ease. We had a fantastic time and as soon as I hit the ground I wanted to do it all over again!
I will definitely be recommending your company to all my friends and those even remotely interested in jumping out of a plane. And, I hope to be back myself sometime in the future! Thanks for your part in helping me have an amazing birthday! Emily and Caroline at Skydive Snohomish are the least helpful people I've ever met. I made a reservation to skydive for the first time with a jump date set for August. On the morning of my jump, I awoke to pouring rain. I figured the jump was cancelled, but if you don't show up and it's NOT cancelled, you forfeit your reservation fee.
I called several times that morning without getting an answer. As I was getting in my car to drive an hour towards the airport, someone from Skydive Snohomish did call me to inform me thatI would have to reschedule. I did- for today. This morning I awoke to blue skies and got ready to go. Nobody called to say that the jump was delayed or cancelled, so I drove an hour north to the airport, nervous about what my first skydiving experience would be like.
A family of 4 was already standing at the counter being ""assisted'. A smug teenaged girl either Emily or Caroline, I don't know which is which.
They were equally awful asked, ""Are you with this group? I wasn't informed. Last time you guys rescheduled on me, on a day that was actually cloudy and rainy I tried calling several times with no answer before someone called me to inform me.
When you need a last-minute activity for the whole family, Skydive Snohomish, WA has you covered. If you're looking for a fun time, make plans to visit this place. $ for a Weekday Tandem Skydive at Skydive Snohomish ($ Value) Purchase price may be applied toward a full-price weekend tandem skydive.
I figured since no one called today, and it's nice outside, that we were set. We don't have to call you. That was a courtesy last time, but we don't have to do that if we don't want to. No, ""I'm so sorry, let's see what we can do to get you rescheduled. I asked for her manager. No, he didn't call ahead. Blah blah blah"" I walked down there to speak to them. I'm upset that nobody called me and now I'm being treated as though I'm the one who has done something wrong. We don't have time to call, our phones are ringing off the hook. Other than the family of 4, there was no one there but us.
No phones had rung since I'd been there. I finally asked: If you had called us earlier, we could have gotten you in.
If you make a reservation when the weather is nice. YOU are the one who wanted to skydive in October in Seattle. YOU should have known better. Word for word. One of the girls finally gave me the manager's name Tyson Harvey , and rest assured, I will be calling every day until I am refunded. Emily and Caroline, I hope you someday outgrow your awkward years so you can stop taking out your teenage angst on customers.
August 28, I had a great tandem experience at Skydive Snohomish. From the moment I arrived at the drop zone to the end of the skydive all staff was incredibly friendly, helpful and so welcoming. The plane ride was fast, the views were beautiful, the skydive was fun, and Jordan was a good tandem master. In the past 4 years I have visited 8 different drop zones looking for the perfect drop zone and I think I've finally found it. During my travels I have discovered that a lot of drop zones are tandem factories and do not like any licensed skydivers to jump at their drop zone. This detail has left me wondering if there was any point in taking the solo course and getting licensed.
I'm really excited that Skydive Snohomish not only offers the solo course but encourages people to take the solo course. In the near future I will rearrange my work schedule and drive from Vancouver Canada to visit Skydive Snohomish again. Thank you all and see you soon!!! Nancy Future Skydive from Vancouver Canada. After many months of talking about skydiving, my tear-old son and I finally signed up at Skydive Snohomish at Harvey field. From the minute we walked in the door, we were greeted by friendly staff whom walked us through the paper work and got us ready to watch the instructional video before our dive.
Zach, a trained skydiver, met with us to answer any of our questions and reviewed the procedures of the dive. We then headed outside to suit up. My son and I were diving tandem and my diving instructor was Vladimir.
