Ready, Set, Jump...

Why would a reasonable person make the decision to jump out of a perfectly good airplane? Perhaps to mark a significant milestone or to cross it off "the bucket list".

Skydiving is an amazing adrenaline rush, and if you talk to someone who has jumped for fun they will tell you that the emotions are a mix of being terrified, at that first jump, to a feeling of nirvana. They will also tell you to make your appointment with a facility and staff that is dedicated to ensuring you have the safest and most amazing experience possible.

Skydive Monroe is that place! They specialize in making not only veteran jumpers but, also first-timers feel very welcome and safe. Participants are made to feel like part of the family and often refer to the staff as their "second family".
