Tandem Skydiving for a Good Cause

Special Moments While Skydiving The absolute best part of being a Professional Skydiving Instructor is being able to share special moments with our clients. People ask me all the time what has been my favorite jump so far? But with having over 11,000 skydives, it's really hard to pick a favorite. There have been many special skydives that always stick in my memory. Make A Wish Foundation We were able to fulfill the wish of one 10 year boy with a terminal cancer through Make a Wish Foundation and take him on a Tandem Skydive. There is a song about living life to the fullest and it includes a verse about skydiving. In 25 years of being a active skydiver I have been part of taking many people on their first Tandem Skydives when they knew they did not have much time left on this Earth. It's hard to put into words how much it means to us to be able…

Skydiving For a Living

What it's Like to Tandem Skydive as a Career One of the hardest things in life is deciding what you want to be when you grow up. I never in a million years would have thought it possible I could get paid to jump from airplanes.  If someone had told me when I was 16 that I'm going to be a professional skydiver, I would have thought they were crazy. The first time I stepped out of an airplane I knew that I had found my passion. To be able to turn that passion into a career has been beyond amazing. I cant tell you how many times I have heard from customers how lucky I am to be a professional skydiver. I always love to hear that because it makes me know how much they loved their skydive with us. Full-Time Skydivers As much as I love skydiving, I love being able to share the sky with first time…

How Safe is Tandem Skydiving?

Tandem Skydiving Safety Precautions This is a question we often get asked, so thought it would make a great subject to talk about. Skydiving is on the Bucket List of most people with a sense of adventure. Of course jumping from planes does carry a certain amount of risk but let me share some of the ways that No Limits Skydiving minimizes those risks. We belong to a organization called the United States Parachute Association. This is a membership of skydivers that regulates how drop zones in the United States must conduct operations. They mandate everything from how often parachutes must be inspected to who is allowed to be a Skydiving Instructor. Here are some of the details: All Reserve Parachutes must be inspected every 160 days. They must be inspected and repacked by a certified rigger. All airplanes that are used for skydiving operations must go thru a complete inspection every 100 hours. Every Skydiving Instructor must go thru…

He served on the Aircraft Carrier USS America CV-66, which was located on Pier 12 when in port.  Most of our staff are ex-military and we make sure service members have a great time skydiving.
