I did my first tandem at Skydive Midwest the first year they opened and I have never left. My tandem instructor is now the owner and one of the pilots who I love and trust. I have met amazing coaches and friends and have no real interest in jumping anywhere else in the area. As a newbie in the sport it is a non-intimidating environment and a comfortable place to learn. All the instructors are always willing to help and keep their eye out on me. I definitely recommend it and always recruit as many friends as I can to do their first jumps at Skydive Midwest hoping they will love the sport like I do!
