Skys the Limit Skydiving Center

An amazing experience first time sky diving!!! Melissa as instructor and Vinnie on camera, made it a relaxing adventure that can’t be forgotten. From start to finish the most professional, fun and experienced team, with a scenery that is truly breathtaking!!!

I was very impressed with Sky’s the Limit was they were very professional and organized. From the booking process I made with Colin and Teresa (they answered all my questions patiently and had so much enthusiasm), to our arrival (we arrived an hour early and yet they checked us in right away), prep time (I met my instructor, Joe who made me feel safe and that he had me taken care of from the get go), video interviews (Vinny was super fun and took care of documenting our jump experience) to the airplane ride up and the actual jump, the entire experience was wonderful and very assuring for a first time jumper.
I am very glad we booked our first jump with Sky’s the Limit and I would highly recommend for any of my friend’s to go there!

One of my more memorable days!
I like to do crazy/​stupid things, so what can be crazier and more stupid than being tossed out of a perfectly good airplane over 10,000 feet? So, I thought it would be cool to get my skydiver certificate.
Few people already suggested this place. They are skydivers, so who am I to question people who’ve done it already?
One thing that I couldn’t predict was the weather. So thanks to that, I had quite a delay. I went through first jumper course, which was taught in a way that you are never bored. Instruction was definitely top notch.
Day of actual dive, my tandem instructor, Adam, stuffed me into a C182 and off we went. While not the easiest aircraft to climb out of, I didn’t mind it.
Dive itself was great. While I made few mistakes, I never felt that I am in danger. Adam saw that I lost my altitude awareness and showed me that I should deploy, and I did just that. Landing was very smooth. I was talked through everything while under canopy.
Definitely check them out. Great outfit, great instructors. Just hope next time I won’t have to ride up in 182.

I went here with my friend who is an experienced skydiver and was a bit apprehensive since I had never been before and had such a great time! Joe Riz was my tandem and he made the whole experience so fun and amazing! I would absolutely go back and would recommend this place 100%. Thanks Joe and Sky’s the Limit team for making my first jump so awesome. Oh and definitely get the handicam or outside video. It’s about $ 80 – 120 extra but I just watched my handicam video and I am SO GLAD I have it to commemorate my first jump. Joe’s a great interviewer!

Great day to Sky dive — perfect weather, perfect company of friends (3 of us), Great sky diving instructor (Sal) and location (Sky is the limit)… My friend had a great video by (Vinnie and his wife did a great job of editing the video too)
BUT my experience was BAD BAD BAD due photographer, videographer & editor — Melissa !! Paid a high price ($ 125) to record my 1^st ever sky dive and all i got was a sad half-​hearted attempt at a video and some pictures. She was nice to speak to but her work not so much. She had 3 cameras on her helmet — Nikon camera (main camera), video recorder and a go-​pro which was a back up ! her camera worked fine till we reached the plane — the min. we were about to jump out of the plane her Nikon (main camera) failed !! and she captured a half cutoff picture of me jumping (the main fall from the plane) the rest few pictures were hazy /​far off/​cut off images of me (not sure if it was me, cause i couldn’t really see myself)
The portion where i was suppose to land was missed again !
The video was a disappointment just as much as the pictures.
While editing and seeing the shoddy work, i would have expected her to come up and apologize for camera issue and hopefully set expectations about the outcome (or provide a refund), but clearly nothing like that happened, she got busy with her next client (scapegoat !!).
I think skythelimit team should put some quality control in their staff to provide better customer service.
I would sincerely ask others NOT TO WASTE THEIR MONEY getting such a bad video !
AVOID MELISSA AT ALL COSTS !

Had an amazing experience here! Me and my friend arrived on a cloudy day and the staff was very upfront and gave us various options due to poor weather. We called a few times before to check the weather and was alerted that if there was not a break in the weather we would not be able to jump but could come and at least do the paper work before hand, it was up to us. Colin was very helpful on the phone and once we arrived everyone was super friendly.
Granted it was a slow day and we didn’t think we would be able to jump, the staff was still attentive to making sure everything was in order so that if the weather improved we could jump right away. We waited for an hour and got to relax, hang out, and enjoy our time waiting getting to know the people there.
Luckily for us the weather broke and we were able to jump. The staff was very quick and efficient with making sure we were suited up and ready to go with the good weather. They didn’t cut any corners and we both felt safe going up in the plane.
I went with Toni and he was extremely helpful, nice, and did a wonderful job filming, taking photos, and editing the video.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone wishing to go, they give discounts for paying cash, going in groups, and on certain days for being a student.

These guys are awesome. No matter whom you dive with, the whole crew is excellent. My instructor was sal, he was very precise in all the instructions on the ground as well as up in the air, my videographer was serena, she caught the whole experience with amazing angles and the whole experience was just fantastic. If you are planning to go sky dive. This is the place to be :)

Sky’s The Limit is an AMAZING place. From the time we entered to hanger to leaving with a HUGE SMILE on our faces, we felt welcome and safe. We got the outside video and it definitely did not disappoint. I would recommend, Sky’s the Limit to EVERYONE. It’s an amazing outfit and Sal [my Tandem Sky Diver] was the best.

I jumped out of a plane yesterday. It was amazing. Thank you to Melissa, my wonderful instructor, and my excellent videographer Vinnie! I’d love to do it again! And again. And again.

My boyfriend likes to see me out of my comfort zone so as part of my Christmas gift he booked tandem sky diving at Sky’s the Limit. We had this date scheduled since December and the day finally came yesterday. I have to say I was a tad bit nervous but there was no backing down. We got to Sky’s the Limit and the instructors (mine was Vinny) made me feel nothing but comfortable. They answered all the questions we had and explained everything that we were going to do. They take seriously the weather and conditions of the sky so that they can make the experience of sky diving as safe as possible. You have to be a little patient because they can postpone jumps if the wind blows the wrong way so plan to head up, sign the paperwork, get ready and relax til it’s your time to jump. All in all I had a great experience. I would highly recommend Sky’s the Limit to anyone who wants to be a little adventurous and jump out of plane!!!

I surprised my boyfriend for his birthday last summer to skydive at this location. BOY was he surprised lol. The whole staff was very friendly, down to earth, & just provided the perfect environment to stay calm & not freak out. First we had to pay, watch a video, sign a few papers (your life away. literally lol), practice the correct motion to dive and to land, and then wait for about 20 minutes or so to be called to the little plane. Once your finally called the photographer interviews you, takes plenty of amazing pictures before, during, and after. I wish I remember my instructors name because he was GREAT! Had so much fun with him, did priceless faces for the pictures, and even let me maneuver (of course with his guidance) the parachute for a little. The view was also amazing! Just a FANTASTIC, OUT OF THIS WORLD, BREATHLESS experience that is a MUST if you’re somewhat of an adrenaline junkie.

Sky’s the Limit was by far the most considerate, professional and well informed center. This being my first tandem jump i can truly say i would do this again. I was given step by step instruction on what to expect. Tony did a great job of soothing me and making sure i understood what was expected of me.
Everyone was very friendly and extremely informative. I LOVED everything about my first jump and highly recommend Sky’s the Limit to anyone willing to take an adventure in the skies!

Hands down… If you are looking for BEAUTIFUL SCENERY and a totally AWESOME CREW to jump with… GO HERE! The place is clean and everyone was really professional, but also a lot of FUN. We were laughing and joking the whole time. You can tell the entire crew is very well educated, have a PASSION for what they do and are truly bonded with eachother. This calmed our nerves and made for a really fun experience. They kept us laughing all 13,500 feet up! Due to weather our 12:30pm jump was put on hold until it cleared… Finally cleared just before sunset, which was so BEAUTIFUL. Sky was a bit hazy, but all that means, is i will be back again soon for another jump… and this time I will look at the sky, not the ground! ;-) I’m petite, so I got to jump with Melissa T. who is of similar body type. First of all, LOVED jumping with a female. But she was so smart and kept me so closely informed with everything going on. I really felt safe with her and would recommend her to anyone, HANDS DOWN… as long as you’re on the smaller side! I got a video/​photos. August was my videographer. He was totally awesome, too! Really fun and TOTALLY energetic! I loved the entire experience. I have NOTHING less than stellar to say! If you’re looking to skydive, this is the place to get an AMAZING experience. Thanks again everyone, and I REALLY hope to see you all soon!!! –Carrie R.

I have now jumped here two times. If you get a group of 5 or more you jump for only $ 185 which is reasonable. For videos and photos it costs an extra $ 125. seems they raised the price because you got both for only 100 last time i went.
I’ve never seen someone here without a smile on their face. All the instructors are super friendly and all very experienced jumpers. I’ve never seen or heard of anyone being uncomfortable with their instructor. This was only my second time here but a friend i went with jumped for his 7^th time already and hes never faced any issues.
This place is located about an hour from North Jersey where i live and its easy to get to thats why we come here. When you jump you can see the Del Water Gap and the river cut right through the mountains and its gorgeous. Great drop zone for sure. I highly recommend this place if you are looking to skydive.

This place will treat first time tandem students and seasoned skydivers with the outmost respect and do everything to accommodate you. Give it a try I say!

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here. We had an awesome experience. We will definitely go back.

What an awesome day! This was my first jump… EVER and I chose to go tandem. All the instructors explained everything in detail and helped every ‘jumper’ that day feel completely safe and excited. The training video and directions were very clear and my instructor (Tony) was all about me having an enjoyable first jump. I highly recommend Sky’s the Limit for their special brand of ‘therapy for the soul’ as one instructor put it.

After my first tandem jump at Sky’s the Limit, I knew I wanted to jump more, and this was the place to do it. This decision was based on a few factors:
1. The staff were super friendly and were willing to answer any and all questions, both on the phone and in person.
2. The owner pays lots of attention to detail and is very involved with all the goings on. When you are going to be jumping out of planes, details are important.
3. The planes were absolutely immaculate. They all had fresh paint jobs, and pilots who were constantly babying them as if they were their own.
4. I researched STL and found their safety record to be fantastic. This is the most important factor in my book.
5. Unlike lots of other dropzones, Sky’s the Limit seems to be focused on building long term/​repeat customers and not just pushing tandem jumpers out of the door. There is a real sense of community there, with lots of events and people going out of their way to make you feel included.
6. They never skimp on altitude. 13,500 feet means 13,500+ feet which equates to a longer time in the air. I once took some friends to jump tandem in Vegas. I watched them leave the plane and counted the number of seconds before their parachutes opened. They were definitely cheated out of many free fall seconds, which also explains why the instructors wouldn’t let one of my friends wear my altimeter watch.
7. It’s very close NYC. I can drive it in an hour and a half comfortably.
8. The staff are very accommodating. I travel a lot for work. When I was applying for my B-​license and was out of the country, the staff went out of their way to scan and email me all of the paperwork I needed. They then sent in all of my forms, and by the time I landed back in NY, my license was in the mail.
I can’t say enough good things about this place. I have brought many friends here for tandem jumps and they have all walked away with a fantastic experience that they will remember for the rest of their lives.

Great Skydiving Location. I want to give a special shoutout to my instructor Mike!
Anyone would be lucky to have him. Amazing video, amazing jump — he’s extremely helpful. If I had to do it again, I would personally request him. Matter of fact, some of my friends are going to request him.
I would give it 5 stars except the bitch who works there in the «Training Room» is a huge racist. Showed a lot of attitude and disrespect to my father. Maybe she has never seen anyone but caucasians before, after all its PA. If anything she should be fired. Maybe then I can give it 5 stars.
Other than her, everything was great. I would def recommend it to everyone and warn them about Ms. Racist.

This was my first jump, but it won’t be my last thanks to the fun and professional staff at Skys the Limit. My friends and I paid about $ 180 each for a tandem jump at 14 000 feet. One of my friends was really scared but instructors did good job of putting her at ease. All of the regular jumpers were very friendly.
My only complaint was how long it took to get up in the air. They tell you prepare for a half day. We got there at 10:45 but didn’t get up until 6:00 because several tandem instructors were out of town. If it was better organized, we could have left and come back in the afternoon. We almost asked for our money back but jumping at sunset in the fall was totally worth it. And in the end, the shoot opened so I’m happy.
Tip: the food truck outside makes a good slider.
