Not one time was I ever scared and they made me feel 100% safe the whole time!! I only have 2 regrets: #1 that I did not immediately go and purchase my second jump and #2 that I didn't buy the tshirt! I wanted to immediately suit up, jump back in that airplane and do it again right then and there!!

Omar, Bob, and Phil were great instructors. Bob instructed our group of 8 and its was informative…read moreand very entertaining as well. You will have to fill out a super long waiver that will release the company from liability if you are injured or die, but that's standard for jumping out of a plane above 10,000ft. The plane is quite small so jumps will be done in pairs of 2 (2participants + 2instructors) and every trip is about 30 minutes (15-20 minutes climbing to the desired altitude to drop, ~1 minutes of free-falling, and ~10 minutes of floating back down to land). During the whole process from flying in the plane, during the dive, and after completion, the instructors ask how you're doing and help calm you down. The scariest part about the experience will probably be looking at the ground as you are flying up into the sky but once you reach 10,000ft altitude, you won't be able to see the ground anymore so the natural heart dropping response you get when you look down at the floor from a cliff or 3+ stories high disappears or at least greatly diminishes. The initial free-fall for me was scary but since you only feel ~1G of force at most, it doesn't feel as scary as a drop from a really high roller coaster (I definitely think roller coasters are more scary, esp. those that only keep you in with a bat that goes over your thighs). After the parachute deploys, it really tugs on your harness so be sure to arrange and secure your crotch well or it will hurt like no other. My crotch harness was very tight so the initial deployment didn't hurt, but the floating wasn't as pleasant since I was basically suspended with all the pressure at my crotch. Bob will help you situate your crotch straps to your thighs so it feels more like you are sitting on the harness after the parachute has safely deployed and it'll feel SOOOO much better. Also, Omar helped me take off my goggles and held onto my glasses so I could get the full view without the goggles blurring it which was great. The best part for me was after the parachute deploys and the instructor (Omar, Bob, or Phil for us) does spins in the air. Omar and I only did about 4 spins, but take my advice and ask them to spin as much as they want because you only get to be in the air for so long so make the most of it. P.S. Don't worry about screaming because the air will muffle it and you won't even know you're screaming. Also, NEVER CLOSE YOUR EYES or it'll be a waste :)

With a crew so lively and experienced, it's really hard to feel nervous about jumping with blue…read moreskies!! It was the first jump ever for my fiance (whom I proposed to after landing) and I, and these guys really made it a special moment for us! Very accommodating when it comes to special occasions like proposals, with before-after and in air interviews all filmed with great quality. I flew with Omar, super friendly and really made this first experience a memorable one! I plan to fly with these guys again, definitely a great group to fly with.

Highly recommend this iFly location because of Rory!…read more I took my whole family for our first time indoor sky diving. Rory was patient, enthusiastic, and provided great education while allowing us to learn and have fun. Even my 65-year-old father enjoyed it! Rory went above and beyond by giving us personalized advice after our flight. I loved it so much, I bought more packages to return and do it again. Thanks, Rory!

This would be my 3rd time experiencing ifly; 1st time in Houston…read more If you want to sky dive without actually jumping out of a plane; this is your next best thing. After checking in, we headed upstairs put our things in a locker, received flight gear and headed into a room for a quick video and introduction to our guide; Malcolm! He went over what to expect, hand gestures and answered questions. Going into the tunnel can be a lil intimidating with wind up to 100mph. I had 3 flights and opted for the ifly (which was about $40 more). Ifly is where your instructor takes you higher than normal. The staff was helpful and friendly! This is a great place for a fun activity for a date, family and/or friends.

I just had my first skydiving experience here. All I experienced was professionalism, enthusiasm…read moreand fun! All of the folks are lovely, and my instructor Austin made me feel at ease instantly (which is important because of my epic fear of heights). They are very safety focused which I feel is pretty important for skydiving. The views from the plane are gorgeous, and the feeling of free fall is incredible. The owner is great and there is also a lovely dog named Bailey who helps everyone feel chill. You can buy drinks on-site. All in all an excellent experience. Thank you, Skydive Houston

It has been my life long dream to do sky diving atleast once in my life time, fantastic experience!…read more Felipe talked me through all of the steps and made me feel 100% comfortable and safe! Jumping out of the plane and free-falling was my favorite part, and the canopy ride down after the chute opened was peaceful. thank you Felipe of Skydive Houston!

Time to check another item off of the old bucket list. Flying an airplane is something I have…read morewanted to do since I was a kid. Whenever I looked at getting a pilot license before, I took a look at how much I would have to spend and decided that maybe $30 on a flight simulator game would scratch that itch for me. There's still nothing like the real thing though. So I took advantage of a LivingSocial deal that was too good to pass up - $59 for a discovery flight. Heck yeah, I'm in. Scheduling my flight was a breeze. I called on a Tuesday to see what times they had available and was given the option for a 9 am or 11 am flight Thursday. I jumped at the 9 am slot so that I could start my day off braving the skies in the morning like Charles Lindbergh before going into work. Day of the flight. Unlike skydiving where you have to spend an hour signing page after page saying short of someone deliberately killing you, you cannot sue them, The Flight School just required a few minutes for me to fill out half a page of contact info and I was off with my instructor Luke for a pre-flight inspection of the plane. Luke went through the checklist with me, with him inspecting everything outside and inside the plane, but letting me know what he was checking. Once the inspection was done, it was time to rock and roll. Luke got the engine started, got us rolling, and then allowed me to steer a bit with the foot rudders while taxiing down the runway. Luke then took over and got us off the ground. Whoosh! Once we hit 8000 feet and were stable, Luke turned it over to me. Uh, are you sure about that? I ended up with a good 15 minutes of actually flying the plane myself without really messing up. I mean, I wasn't doing Top Gun or Red Baron moves. A steady hand and taking things nice and easy are preferred over jerking in the direction you want to go in. When my fun was over, Luke took over landing the plane and it was smooth and textbook. He even offered to take a couple of photos of me in front of the plane! With my flight being the short one that The Flight School offers, I was done about an hour after arriving. So I drove to my office, strolled in, and started asking coworkers "So what did you do this morning?" Yes, obnoxious, but effective when you get that reluctant return quetion "Why, what did you do this morning?"

I highly recommend it!!!
