Second tandem in August '15, now planning to begin AFF in the late spring/early summer '16. Arrived for this jump at 7:30, jumped at 10 (fine since so many people were there for earlier jumps). TM was kind, professional, and made the jump fun. I chose no video for second jump as I wanted to enjoy the view. TM made this happen by gently gliding through the sky and pointing out the scenery.

Hoping to jump in Tampa in spring and complete AFF to return to Skydive NE as a solo.

I went to SNE for the first time ever, it was during the Tiki Bar boogie. First off I was impressed with the facilities when I first arrived. It seemed like a really fun place. My first of 2 complaints, is that upon registration for the boogie, t-shirts werent a part of the package. I'm just wondering what I paid for? Yea yea, the booze, but other than that? The partying at night had lived up to the hype that I had been hearing for the past couple years. It was pretty awesome. But be careful, I've heard of girls choosing not to attend this boogie anymore b/c they feared for there safety. I'm not surprised, I witnessed some drunks have no boundaries. So if you want the chicks to keep coming, settle down a little people(not sure how much of this is really the DZs fault). My other complaint is that it felt very cliquey there. Some people didn't seem to inviting of others in there group of jumpers or just in general conversation. I watched this happen a few times, even to me. High five to manifest! Nice job! Don't let my feedback fool you, I did have a great time! I'll deff be back. Best wishes to Carp!

Mr. Deathwish with 42 jumps probably will not be a skydiver very long if He has any complaints about our kick*** DZ. And "leashed" dogs are always we welcome (so you dont have to land in landmines). We let the women run free.

My AFF was a little sloppy, cause every jump I made was with a different instructor, and the landing area is full of surprizes, which gives you another reason to work on your accuracy!!! The rigging service is a little slow, and you have to go there and get on their asses about it, and it looks like they dont care, and you always have to wait: for food, bathroom, showers, loads...
So if you coming here, leave your dogs at home, bring your own gear and be patient, very patient...May have some ups and downs but its my home DZ and I like jumping here, when my dog is not around...

I took Level 1 AFF at SNE and the entire staff was excellent! The jump was great, the time that was spent as part of the debrief was phenomenal. Great place, close to home, great people.

I've done 2 tandems and 2 AFF jumps and they have been wonderful every time! You can't find a better group of people then the staff there. They make you comfortable all the way through and explain the steps clearly so you can do what you need to do. I've recommended them to all my friends and will continue to do so.

Waited and talked about skydiving for 20 years and finally decided to go. Brought the family to witness dad jump out of a plane. Staff was not only great to me they were great to my family. No one made me feel like a newbie, and with the kidding around (yet professional ) I felt at ease. Cant wait to go back and do it solo.

I had been wanting to skydive for many years, and finally took the plunge. It was one of the most rewarding, beautiful, incredible experiences I have ever had.
The first thing I noticed upon arrival was the friendly and laid back ways of the staff, explaining in detail everything you want to know about jumping out of a plane. No one there made me feel like a newbie, there were no show-offs, everyone is treated with respect.
What a thrill to get in that plane, climbing to 14,000 feet in just 15 minutes, get strapped to your tandem master, and then.......WHOA! I have imagined what it must feel like, many times, but nothing came close to the actual feeling of sudden rushing wind in your ears and up your nose, lips stuck to your teeth. The feeling of helplessly falling soon disappears as you seem to lay on a cushion of air. (I bought the video so I can relive it any time, and now I can see how totally happy I looked). Once the canopy opened, I had more time to look around me and take in the beautiful sights of a sunny, colorful October day.

Thank you, Matt, for making this an unforgettable day.

Thumbs up to you all! You are one hell of a crew!

For my 18th birthday I decided to do something I always wanted to do, skydive. So for about a month I began looking into places to jump. Sure there were closer ones, but none offered same day AFF classes and jump, which I needed. The fact that Skydive New England was 3 hours away from home was a little bit of a turn off, but I was determined.
When I got to the DZ the weather was a beautiful August day and the area seemed very nice. I noticed quickly that the staff was very friendly and everyone was very welcoming. I quickly began my class, and I was the only student in my class. They could have easily delayed my class, or even cancelled due to no other students. The class began and it was easy to learn from the staff and we routinely took breaks. The class took 6 hours, which I expected to happen. After getting geared up I was ready to jump. As we were boarding the aircraft, and during flight, both instructors checked on my equipment and on my mental health. We were ready to jump. We jumped and they did what they needed to do in order for me to have good form. As I began deployment I began to loose form and before anything serious could happen my main instructor pulled my chute to prevent instability. As I descended an instructor on the ground helped me land a perfect landing, right on the mark.

Thanks Skydive New England for an excellent first jump!

The great people and facilities at this DZ make for a really great time. The staff is courteous and professional. The fun jumpers are freindly and helpfull. The Super Otter is fast and the DZ has plenty of amenities. I have been to several DZ's in the USA and Canada and this place has the best vibes around. The high level of talent there makes it easy to learn and practise new freefall and canopy skills. There are a lot of trees around so be sure to look for the outs on one of their large aerial photos before you jump. The veiws are stunning as you will see the Atlantic seacost,The White Mountains and several large lakes including Lake Winnipesaukee. Stick around till the evening for great swoops on the pond and live music by the bonfire.

I was fortunate enough to get to work the end of the season here after skydive las vegas shut down.Skydive new england is alot like skydive oregon. Only 2 things are different.Skydive new england is a bit smaller and everyone has an east coast accent.This is a great place to make your 1st skydive or to visit for experienced folks. Nice super otter and great skydivers.The fall season is spectacular with the changing of the leaves.Just like oregon,the food of choice is beer.Carp has a nice gig going on.Skydive new england is my second favorite DZ next to skydive oregon.Go check it out. You will love it!

I jumped my first jump here aprox 10yrs ago. Different owners now, different instructors and a much better atmosphere and it's great to see safety is priority #1. The people were great. The student landing area could be a bit smoother, and the wait between jumps was horrible. But the views were great, the vibe was awesome, the people were all very nice and it didn't matter if you had 10 jumps or 100 jumps. The snack bar had a good selection. The bathrooms were clean, plenty of parking and tenting area. BRING A LAWNCHAIR!

I did all my training here over the summer the people are great. the Otter is amazing and the place has plenty of space to relax chill rest and hang out with buddys or making new buddys. I must sat everything about this DZ was amazing. I have been to several other DZ's around the country and have not seen anything close to Skydive New England. A MUST GO! BRING OUR TENT AND MARSHMELLOWS for the bonefires!

Although this dropzone is a little off the beaten path, it has a large number of return jumpers because of all of the things which come together to make it, as one friend described it; "magical."

As with all dz's, it is comprised of jumpers who tend to be a very dynamic, open, and usually positive crowd. Skydive New England has cornered the market in this respect with an apparent excess of truly talented people who can be counted on to answer any questions you have and help you to become acclimated whether you're a student or a visitor just rambling on through.

You can usually find others to jump with quite easily and the atmosphere is always upbeat and dedicated towards refining one's skills & disciplines in a fun and positive way.

Another great aspect of this dz is that, because a lot of the seasonal employees live on the premises, the fun doesn't end when the sun goes down and most of the people you've jumped with during the day can be found congregated 'round the bonfire talking and if it's a saturday night, listening to a live band the owner's have brought up from Boston.

Hopefully I'll see you there one of these days and you can get a taste of it for yourself....first timers gotta bring beer!

I am from Germany and was looking for a place to make a skydiving license because i was for 2 weeks in the USA.

I looked at this webpage and found out about Skydive New England and i have to say it was the best decision to make the AFF class there. I had a lot of fun with the instructors and the staff people and i enjoyed staying in the bunkhouse i rented for a week. Within 4 days i could jump already bymyself and i just can say i will be back next year at this fun and nice dropzone :-) Miss you guys ;-)

I jumped tandem with these guys last year and had such an amazing experience. The attitude that they have is the perfect balance of laid-back and safety-oriented. They treated me as an equal, even though I had no idea what I was doing. I had so much fun hanging out with them on the ground and in the plane that I almost forgot I was about to jump out of an airplane. I would reccomend this place to anybody... from first time jumper to experienced. I have complete trust in every one of them, which is fairly important when I'm jumping out of a plane.

Skydiving for the first time is very scary for most people. At this place the atmosphere and vibes are so cool that even though jumping out of an airplane might scare you, you have people that can understand the way you are feeling and totally help with your needs. So, not only are you about to do the coolest thing you ever even imagined, but you can do it with some of the most amazing people I've ever met. I must say that Skydive New England is my home and I truly feel like every one there is my family. Maybe it's the owners, or maybe it's just the energy that makes the place seem like "never, never land" but there is an enormous amount of professionalism along with fun. Where else in the world can you find that?!!

If you've read the other reviews of Skydive New England, you know this dropzone consistently receives rave reviews, and for good reason. I signed myself up for a tandem jump in June thinking it would be a "once in a lifetime" experience. I had such an amazing experience, I signed myself up for SNE's AFF program and am now just a few jumps away from graduation. If you're considering jumping out of a perfectly good airplane, SNE is a great place to go. Great people, great atmosphere, always friendly and supportive. I'm actually looking forward to buying that case of beer for my graduation to show my appreciation.
