skydive orange

I jumped with two soccer coaches that were here from Brazil running clinics for us. Our park is right next to the airport the the coaches excitedly watched jumpers land all week, I arranged for them to do tandem jumps the last day they were here. i wasn't planning on jumping but got talked into it by an old friend, Kevin, who was my instructor and jump partner. I was impressed by everyone's detailed attention to safety. I think it all happened to quickly for me to think about it and be nervous but the adrenaline rush was amazing. I am a local boy and to see Orange County from 13,000 was quite a view. The Skydive Orange folks made our Brazilian visitors' experience very memorable. They had barely hit the ground before praises were being tweeted and Facebooked literally around the world. I have a really bad knee and Kevin landed me in a seated position on the ground unbelievably soft. I definitely recommend this experience to both visitors and locals.

I had my first jump on Sunday and it was amazing! Everyone was so great. The entire experience was unbelievable. Looking forward to my next jump already! Thank you!

Didnt know what to expect as a first time jumper but this place made it awesome. Training was short and to the point. no extras that arent need to make it fancy. just exactly what you need to know and what will happen. you dont need extensive training for your first jump when youre strapped to a professional. just enough to keep you safe and let you enjoy the experience. the instructors were great to deal with and we got up in the air less than an hour. many people dont understand that weather plays a huge role in a jump. even a little bit of wind makes a big difference. i expected to be nervous but wasnt at all. the crews and other jumpers made it a relaxing calm environment and i never once had second thoughts or fears. John C was my instructor and he did an excellent job. We went ahead and signed up to do it again. Overall awesome experience.

awesome experience and great staff! JOHN AND LAMBERT! My first jump and will absolutely do it again!

From the moment I walked into the Skydive Orange hanger I knew this would be an amazing experience. The receptionist was very welcoming and helped me get settled in for the legal mumbo jumbo. The instructor TJ was extremely professional but very relaxing the entire time during the pre-jump briefing. His expertise and demeanor helped put me at ease. All of the equipment at Skydive orange looked new or at the very least lightly used. The facility itself was very clean and neatly organized. I opted for the HALO jump from 17,500ft. So we were the last ones to off the plane. Free-fall is absolutely exhilarating. After just a few seconds the sensation of falling disappears. Then there is nearly a minute and a half of solid free fall at around 120mph. TJ guided my hand to the chute, I pulled, and then a moderate jerk of the chute inflating. Not violent by any stretch of the imagination but......assertive in a reassuring way. The entire glide down TJ took me through a few maneuvers and communicated clearly the entire time. The video and photo products were nicely produced and the quality is excellent. I'll treasure the footage for a long long time. I WILL be back. Sooner rather than later. I would not hesitate to jump with Skydive Orange again.

Skydive orange somehow combines the succint precision of the military with the cool relaxed feel of the oregon coast. We bought this jump for our son's 18th birthday present. I would never have chosen this experience if it weren't for him. Because of our experience with sdo I just might jump again! Our I structors were Jim and Mario and our photographer was Lambert. The office staff was great and Ned answered my emails promptly with questions I had prior to our jump.

Skydive Orange is just plain awesome. My jump was delayed for a few hours because the morning weather was very cloudy…but they called us ahead of time to let us know and even though it was delayed more than they had hoped, we had plenty to watch while we waited. My toddler son had a great time watching the plane land and take off, the staff was extremely courteous, fun, and professional. I felt safe and excited throughout the experience. My husband bought the video even though at first we thought it was quite expensive. It was worth it. Trust me.

The whole process was effortless and it was nice to be there with people to where training to be certified and people had been doing it for a while.

We loved our skydives! I wish they gave in-person instruction & photos were overpriced/not worth it.

Made a Tandem jump with Skydive Orange after doing a lot of research on other nearby places. They absolutely surpassed my expectations, very professional and light hearted at the same time made me feel super comfortable. Video services were fantastic and didn't have to wait more than 5 min to get the completed CD of the experience. Will recommend to anyone! This is a safe and professional group!

The overall service of Orange was amazing! The videos and pictures that I received from the other person who jumped with me were AMAZING! I cannot explain the experience, but that only means that YOU should go! You won't regret it.

Just went to the Cinco de Mayo boogie at Orange. My husband jumps there any chance he gets, and I decided to do my 2nd tandem while we were there. It was so much fun, everyone is so friendly and the staff knows their stuff. I had the pleasure of jumping out of the skyvan that was there for the weekend with Mario as my instructor. He was awesome, funny, and made me feel at ease! Scenery is beautiful and I was so glad I decided to jump! PS get video!!

I made my 2nd tandem jump here June 1, 2013. I had been somewhere else before and done a tandem skydive. But it was nothing compared to Skydive Orange.Skydive Orange is a professional atmosphere where no question is a stupid question - and they have the best videographers who make you look awesome!13,500 feet above the ground, falling at 120mph and an incredible view under canopy. I loved it so much I got my license at Skydive Orange and now call that my home DZ!

Excellent, excellent, excellent!Ça vaut vraiment la peine d'y aller.It worth the trip and I recommend it to anybody. The facility, the staff, the jump.October 19 was the day I was supposed to jump. We boarded the aircraft and we took off, the weather was not clement and we landed back. We waited over an hour and realized the sky was not going to clear. The staff recommended us for the next day which happen to be great.In the video, there was a mismatch but skydive orange took care of it and mailed me a revised DVD and I got a shirt.All the people with me were very pleased and I would recommend this place to anybody interested in skydiving. The place is safe, the staff was pleasant and very professional.

recently went for a tandem jump at skydive orange.its was great the jump was safe and I was trained by great instructors.overall a wonderful time will go back and recommend for anyone whois interested in skydiving.
