Reviews
"This place is fantastic! My brother chose the skydiving location, and he picked Middletown’s Start Skydiving and immediately I was worried because of some things I had heard about Middletown itself. I was dumb to have doubted this place. Start Skydiving is a well-oiled machine. The staff is knowledgeable and super friendly, and the place is beautifully set up. They have stuff for the family to do while they wait for you to either get on the plane/waiting to see you flying in the air. I wouldn't have expected this gem inside of Middletown, but I'm so glad I went here, and I definitely will be coming back next year!!"
"Start Skydiving is the perfect place to choose if you’re interested in skydiving. They send emails with lots of information, a video explaining the process, and the ability to sign the waiver before hand so the process of checking in when you arrive is a lot smoother and quicker. The entire staff is so friendly and helpful, and create a relaxed but fun environment which was great/ needed for my first time. My tandem instructor, Lonnie, was awesome! He explained step by step throughout the entire experience, and was a lot of fun. He made my first time memorable. I will definitely be back to jump again!"
"I am terrified of heights - and was always that person that said I’d never skydive. I’m telling you - TRUST THIS COMPANY so you don’t miss out on such an incredible life experience. Rodrigo - thank you for making sure I was distracted when needed - and getting me out that door. For first timers like me - I’d highly recommend the Rock Star package because you get a buddy in the videographer… Chelsea gave me something to look at and so much encouragement while flying through the sky. This company is top notch ya’ll. Filled with incredibly passionate and experienced people. THANK YOU for helping me knock this one off the bucket list! I’d even consider doing it AGAIN!"
"Stop thinking about it, and just do it already!! :D I had a fabulous, fun, exhilarating first experience. Lonnie was amazing!!! He captured the dive perfectly, and I knew, without question, that I was in great hands. He is an expert (over 15,400-something jumps with students!), incredibly kind, knowledgeable, safe, and conscious of creating an unforgettable experience for each person. This was a birthday gift to myself, and it was one of the best things I've done. I kept my eyes open, and my mouth open, the whole time -- pure joy! I'll be back, for sure! Thanks for an epic time, Start Skydiving ❤️"
"If you have even the slightest interest in skydiving, this is your place! At 40+ years old I had never been on a plane let alone thought of skydiving, yet I ended up at Start. The staff was amazing and made me so comfortable and confident in what I was doing. 5 Tandems later, my husband and I began our journey to become licensed skydivers and I credit the staff because each tandem they talked to me about the procedures of the skydive to get me more familiar with what I would do on my own. Since my first skydive in 2016 I have jumped other drop-zones and Start hands down is the safest and most affordable. I’m so confident in Start and their instructors that 3 out of my 5 kids have done tandems and the other 2 will as soon as they turn 18."
