Okanagan Skydive

Took my first jump course this year and was instantly hooked. The FJC was very in depth and I felt ready to jump by the end. Even though my training was slow at the best of times everybody from the DZO to the packers were patient and supportive. Very glad I took my FJC here and will continue to work on my licensing here. Getting my solo here has been my greatest accomplisment and everybody was as excited as I was. Come jump here, and bring your friends!

I started diving this year and really only have Okanagan skydive to go on. Everyone was always willing to help with questions and answers. Random barbeques, professionalism with alot of fun. Can't wait for next year.

I have been jumping for 7 years and I am proud to call Okanagan Skydive my home dropzone. I have jumped in different counties at many different dropzones and I'm still amazed by the beauty of area surrounding our little dz. Everyone who works here are excited to share the skydiving experience and enjoy visitors from all around the world. To all my skydive friends, come join us anytime.

Cheers.

Amazing scenery is an understatement at Okanagen Skydive!! Staff is exceptional & knowledgable, answered all my questions, and helped make a great day even better!! Will definately be making this my new DZ!!

I'd never considered skydiving until I got a Gift Certificate for a Tandem at Okanagan Skydive. Now, I've done a few Solo jumps at the same place. They have the most amazing view and their staff has always made me feel well prepared and safe. I can't wait to jump this season.

We took our 60 year old husbands for jumps and ended up waiting an hour and a half between weather delays and customer delays. No one offered any one water or an apology for the delays. I left and found a place to buy local cider and brought it back to the picnic area and was immediately told this is a place of business and alcohol is verboten. So we wives ventured to the front of the building and found a step to perch on while we waited and drank a cider. Next thing we knew another employee came at us with "you can't drink in front of here, this is a business ...." I mean really, 2 60 year old women sipping apple cider while we wait on our husbands to jump, sitting on the front stairs is going to hurt your image??? Frankly, I'll send people to Las Vegas for their jumping, your team was way to uptight and disrespectful of our time and circumstances. They are no more than a jump operation and have a lot to learn about customer service and skillful communication.

Really friendly and accommodating dz. My husband and I showed up there this past summer. The DZO and our friends who jump there went out of their way to round us up gear so that we could see the area from the air. What a gorgeous view! Fabulous experience. Super friendly jumpers. Big thumbs up.

A really good group, thoroughly committed to enhancing your Sky diving experience, even for students.For what it's worth being a newbie this is definitely a Dropzone to jump at! Bret, the owner& Tandem master,which Sig is as well, also a great confidence builder. Lindsy and Bruce a really great pilot, all good people!well worth it.

very positive vibe. I can't say enough about the people here. Starting to have a few more freeflyers around. rumers of a second plane for next year.

I came from Germany to skydive here and found a marveless view in good weather conditions (in august). Even if the plane isn`t big I had lots of fun not only during skydiving. I`m coming back!!

This dropzone is located just off of Okanagan lake in the beautiful BC interior. I only did one jump there - but it was memorable, if only for the scenery. Vernon is a great city too. Highly recomend a visit.

This is a great DZ with really great people. Definitely small - they mostly offer tandems to tourists, but a good group of experienced people who are a lot of fun to jump with. The view from the top is amazing, and there is never a long wait for a load.

This is my home dz, the place where I fell in love with the sky.

It's small, yes, but a great place. Most of the usual crowd are novices and intermediates, but we have awesome instructors and coaches. Loads don't start early, but once the day gets swinging the pilot barely gets time to stretch his legs.

RW is the preferred style. For now, unfortunately, there isn't much freeflying.

But the view! It's impossible to beat the view from altitude. Snowcapped mountains, lakes, rolling hills... the sunset load will take your breath away.

The people here are awesome, so plan on hanging around all day. The day does not end with the last load; the parties are tame by some standards, but we always have a good time.
