This
review
is
for
my
Tuesday,
2-22-22
at
4:30pm
experience.
I
initially
came
across
Skydive
Vallarta
while
I
was
looking
into
potential
activities
while
planning
my
birthday
trip
to
PV.
After
reviewing
the
company’s
website,
I
booked
for
myself
and
my
friend.
Why
not
sky
dive
for
the
first
time
ever
in
such
a
beautiful
place?!
Once
in
Puerto
Vallarta
the
meetup
location
was
found
with
relative
ease;
you
walk
into
the
Peninsula
Plaza
Vallarta
Mall
and
take
the
escalator
downstairs
(from
street
level).
You’ll
approach
the
back
of
the
mall
and
walk
toward
the
fenced
area,
then
turn
to
the
right,
and
walk
a
little
ways
forward
until
the
meet-up
site/office
comes
into
view.
Everyone
in
the
office
was
friendly
and
professional,
from
the
lady
at
the
front
desk,
to
the
staff
giving
instructions
in
English
&
Spanish,
and
of
course
our
tandem
instructors.
They
were
also
good
about
having
sanitizer
available
and
people
wearing
masks
inside.
There
is
a
brief
instructional
video
to
watch
followed
by
body
positioning
demonstrations
(think
“banana”)
for
optimal
tandem
skydiving.
All
jumpers
return
demonstrate
these
positions
and
are
allowed
time
to
ask
questions.
There
ended
up
being
a
total
of
4
of
us
in
my
group:
my
friend
and
I
and
also
this
pair
of
guys.
We
were
accompanied
by
our
videographers
and
tandem
instructors-
all
were
great
but
I
particularly
want
to
shout
out
Victor,
Sam,
and
of
course
my
tandem
instructor
Lucio!
I
had
lots
of
nervous
excitement
as
we
boarded
the
small
plane
and
then
of
course
because
I
had
the
lucky
seat
by
the
door
we
were
to
jump
out
of!
But,
Lucio
was
good
at
keeping
the
nervousness
at
bay
and
being
reassuring.
We
enjoyed
a
scenic
flight
of
PV
as
we
climbed
to
jumping
height.
The
tandem
instructors
go
through
safety
checks
very
thoroughly
before
reaching
the
appropriate
altitude.
And
then
the
moment
of
truth
comes!
I
was
first
up
to
tandem
jump
and
felt
the
nerves
escalate
as
the
door
opened.
But
you
just
breathe
and
go
for
it,
and
wow
is
it
a
great
feeling!
The
free
fall
felt
like
it
went
by
so
fast!
And
the
scenic
parachuting
down
was
nice,
you
kind
of
get
to
help
“fly”
the
parachute
with
the
tandem
instructor.
The
landing
was
nice
and
I
felt
safe
the
entire
time.
Five
stars
for
my
first
skydiving
experience
and
for
that
experience
with
Skydive
Vallarta!
