Nice pool for after jumps fun. I got there at 8or9 but didn't jump til almost noon. I will definitely be interested In going back soon. Share this review Link to review. I didn't realize how difficult it could be to fall I just couldn't get stable. The instructors gave me great advice that has never failed me, I finally got the hang of things, and finished AFF without a scratch ;. I must say that Hank Henry Prewitt is an amazing person.
He really went out of his way to make sure I felt comfortable and safe from the moment I arrived. The staff really goes the extra mile to ensure customers are having a friggin' great time. The world would be a better place if there were more people like these guys. I only have 31 jumps and I learn something new or actually grasp a concept I had previously been taught every time I go out there. Aside from all the fun, jokes, and drinking after hours of course , SAFETY is put first and everybody looks out for one another. I haven't been to any other DZ, but I've heard numerous stories from fun jumpers that this is the place to be because the atmosphere, packers, and people are their favorites.
I guess you could say I've become a bit obsessed with going out to SSM and skydiving: That lasted about eight minutes. The training was great, the staff a great mix of fun and professional, the location beautiful and my first square canopy jump was incredible.
I stayed in the bunkhouse for ten dollars! They had no problems taking in a newbie and answering all my questions, even though I know they'd answered the same ones hundred of times before. After grilling, beers, stories, mini lessons, jokes and swimming I knew I'd made the right decision in choosing SSM.
The next few days were much the same. I already knew I was hooked and the riggers there were great in checking out a rig I was looking at, explained why it was wrong for me and then proceeding to find gear more appropriate to my needs for less money than I was ready to spend! Professionalism at it's finest. Fast forward two weeks and I'm one jump away from my A license damn rain and I now have a new family. I brought a friend out for his first jump and he ended up staying for three days and echos my thoughts exactly.
Tandem jumpers leave smiling, fun jumpers the same. I totally understand now what they said to me the first day of AFF We train instructors". I visited San Marcos while in Austin on a business trip. Not knowing anyone at the time, several sport jumpers introduced me around. The loads are split, with the tandems getting out on the first pass at 10, which makes canopy traffic no problem at all, in either aircraft.
The view is amazing, lots of outs and good people. I suggest stopping for a visit. Girlfriend and I got the itch and chose to go to this DZ to scratch it. The entire staff is extremely friendly and seemed very knowledgeable excluding one set of exceptions. The women working behind the counter were the only downside. Very negative and blah seeming. One exception behind the counter was an older lady who was very friendly and helpful.
To avoid the bad ones, I'll only say stay away from pockmarks or glasses behind the counter. Overall I'm thoroughly satisfied with the experience, after all I was more worried about the Instructors being on-point than the receptionists. I was on vacation in San Antonio and wanted to jump. I was told about Skydive San Marcos so I checked them out. The staff was friendly and worked with me. Their winter hours were not posted on their website.
I went on a thursday during winter hours and found out they don't fly Tues thru Thurs during the winter. Although they weren't flying they did give me a tour of the facilities and the DZ. Showed up Friday to jump on a very tight schedule only two hours to jump had to do an emergency review class took an hour to start the class which took 30 minutes to complete and then asked to get on the next lift due to my tight schedule.
They made sure I was on the next lift and had a coach but I ran out of time. Asked for a refund and was told that they will give jump credit. I came back on Saturday and jumped all day. I started to pack after my second jump and was asked who needed the water portion for their B license. Finished my B license with their staff. Thank you I will be back again. I was really impressed with their staff and facilities. After the Otter had mechanical issues and had to be shut down, it obviously slowed things up a bit.
When I tried to get my tickets refunded, I was refused. I explained that I live over miles away and didn't know when I would be back down that way again. I pulled low, packed fast, and got the hell out of there.
Showed up in the morning and were helped out by the very friendly staff. Class came together and there was 1 main instructor and 2 helpers for 6 students. They made sure you were completely confident before moving on. Wrapped up the class around 3ish and then manifested to jump. Unfortunately winds picked up and we weren't able to go, but I will definitely be going back. Upon my arrival to the Drop Zone, a staff member, Stacy Velasquez, immediately greeted me with a smile and above average professional demeanor.
The staff and fellow jumpers made me feel welcome. As a new jumper to SSM, there was an immediate friendly vibe about the organization; I was ready to jump.
Another staff member, Kailea Schirmer, arrived to the reception area give me a thorough and knowledgeable tour of the facility. Adjacent to the foyer was the Rental Rig with a big selection and Tandem prep room. Beyond the prep room, was another staff area where packers were busy repacking Rental and Tandem Rigs.
Across for the main area was the Instructor and Staff area. As I watched this, the Instructor was very attentive to the needs of the student to allow the student to gain the most amount of experience from the skydive. Beyond the lounge is a pool; yes, a pool for cooling off from the Texas heat.
Adjacent to the pool was the packing area. The packing area is a covered building with plenty of room for jumpers to pack and hang out as well as for teams or ad hoc groups can plan dives. The landing area was as familiar from the air as it was on the ground. Saturday Feb 12th — I arrived to find event organizers, Christie Staffa and Jerilyn Cordova, making easy work of organizing the teams for the Scramble.
There were quick turns of aircraft and non-muffled manifest calls that kept the Speed Star Scramble going as well as getting fun jumpers, tandems, and students up in the air. Skydive San Marcos is a top notch organization that made my trip worth the travel. I had an incredible amount of fun, certainly learned a lot, and left feeling like I was part of the family. Blue Skies. The staff at San Marcos was very helpful and friendly while at the same time they excluded a very professional and safety oriented demeanor.
The private landing strip, well maintained aircraft and large grassy landing area made each jump a hassle free and enjoyable experience. The facilities are clean, large and modern, plenty of room for packing and even a snack bar and and indoor seating for eating. And if that wasn't enough there is even a pool located right next to the landing area. I will definitely be heading back there sometime in the near future. Great place to jump, plenty of fun jumpers most of the time, pleasant manifest, pulled in a great organizer, lots of events CRW, freefly, RW, carnivals.
I had a great experience with SkyDive San Marcos and I credit that to a streamlined organization and the instructor John. While I previously saw a negative review about John prior to my visit, I found him to be extremely professional and safety oriented which made the entire experience enjoyable. His attention to detail throughout the process reassured me that I had a good instructor that was focused on safety throughout the evolution.
I first started coming here because my home DZ only had Cs. Instructors recommended that I visit other DZs and test my skills at other places. At first it wasn't the most welcoming DZ for new jumpers. They had a reputation of being only a "tandem factory". This place left a lot to be desired today. I will start with the cabanas. Two years bought the summer pass and used it at least twice a week. The lazy river is the best. The personal is not nasty like Palm Springs. You can go in the lazy river without a tube and it's so fun. I'm a senior Fun place with family and friends.
We on a Wednesday and it was not crowded at all, which was so nice! Visited with hubby and 2 teenagers. Had a blast. Sure, its not Soak City, but you dont get the Soak City crowds either! Lazy river is to die for, and there are 3 huge slides, and a Hydroplane that my teenaged son enjoyed. Food is Went to see this place and glad I did , kids had a blast and time Flys when you also having fun , the water is clean and staff is great.
We took our 5 and 11 year old on a Wednesday and it was not crowded at all, which was so nice! Our youngest had a blast, but the older one was done after a couple hours. The park was clean and the food was My family and I visited the park for this first time this summer. I have two daughters ages 4 and 7. My family really enjoyed this park. The bathrooms were always clean.
They had many many lifeguards all over, but especially in the kids play Flights Vacation Rentals Restaurants Things to do. Cart 0.
