Skydive Cross Keys — Local services in Monroe Township

This was a great experience.

Season ends Oct 31st, hurry up and schedule your jump.

Staff was very friendly and comforting. Once you arrive, you check-in, watch an intro video, sign your life away and then wait. While waiting we watched other tandem and single jumps and snapped plenty of photos.

It was a beautiful day, the sun was out and it was about 67 degrees (I came layered and had no issues) We scheduled our jump for 2:00 pm and waited about 30-45 minutes before we jumped.

When we were called up to start getting ready, we met Louis, Cody who were our tandem jumpers and who helped suite us up and give final instructions before departing. Christine was the videographer and he was the best. He was friendly, funny and definitely kept us calm. Cody and Louis were amazing and while in the air we were able to do flips and they pointed out Philadelphia, AC and on a clear day you can see part of NY. Up in the sky it was so beautiful, it was so peaceful. My ears were popping, my hands were cold (they did offer gloves while suiting up but I declined after being told it 10-15 degrees colder in the sky) and they provide you with goggles. You can also buy gloves and glasses while there.

After you land and get all the smiles out and pat yourself on the back for actually not bailing, you’re given a certificate and jump book to record your jumps and helps you record future jumps if you intend of getting licensed.

Cody, Louis and Christine were very professional and helped ease our nerves while there. Everyone there was nice, just overall good vibes from everyone. People checked in with us to make sure we were okay which was very comforting.

Great experience everyone should try at least once

only felt sick while we were flipping but once he stopped I felt fine. They do ask if you’d like to flip and they do give you ques while in the air to remind you about your arms, head and feet, especially when landing. You and your jump are able to communicate perfectly...

This skydiving experience was organized by my husband as a birthday activity for my 47th. I had the utter privilege of jumping with none other than the legendary “Pancake”, who very nonchalantly told me that he has made 20,000 such iconic falls!

This was my first attempt and I think it was good for a height-phobic person like me to not have the option of standing on a separate ledge and deliberately jump. In the plane here, you kind of just tip over the edge, and that has to be initiated (thankfully) by your tandem instructor. Those 60 seconds of free falling were the longest of my life, I couldn’t wait for the parachute to open. My heart was in my throat, I was wriggling like a cockroach, and I couldn’t breathe because of the air pressure assaulting my face.

CAUTION TO THOSE WITH PELVIC PAIN: as soon as the parachute opens, the pelvic harness tightens up considerably as you’re basically vertical, being completely supported by the harness. You’re “hanging by a thread (aka harness)”. Think about how that would affect you during and after the activity, since I was in pain hanging vertically in the air. It made it tough to enjoy the slow gliding in such a beautiful weather. Pancake advised that I try and reposition myself so as to almost sit within the harness but I couldn’t manage that.

The staff is nothing but incredible, they ensure as much safety as possible, and the environment is so Hollywood-y with these sporty gals and guys preparing to jump one after the other from the plane. You can’t help but feel the thrill of being surrounded by adventurers.

I would like the option of a face shield and/or helmet for tandem jumpers like us so we can enjoy that free fall sensation without struggling to breathe.

Also the videography package...

Very life-changing!!! I did what I thought could never be done, like ever, in my entire life. I went skydiving with my sister for the first time, and let me tell you what, it was MIND-BLOWING!!!

My instructor, Pancake and my videographer, Taylor were both FANTASTIC!!! They were professional, calm, and very outgoing! I felt safe, and at ease around them, especially since I was feeling very nervous, but that went away because I was hanging out with the COOLEST people, ever!!

Pancake made sure I was having fun! He also made sure the gear on me was attached to him and gave me clear instructions for the jump.

The pictures that Taylor took were the best! Absolutely stunning! I'll keep them forever, and I enjoy rewatching the video, wanting to relive the moment again!!

I, 100% recommend a video package, especially for anyone doing skydiving for the first time! It's totally worth it!!

I'll never forget how peaceful and happy I had felt at the freefall!! I was having so much fun and having the time of my life!!! I also could never forget the gorgeous scenery!!!

The view was immensely spectactular, the skies were so blue! The clouds were fluffy and beautiful, and the sun illuminating so brightly around me....IT WAS SO AWESOME!!!! I really felt like I was flying!!!!

When Pancake and I were parachuting, we were so high up and I didn't realise until had pointed out-- I could see the city from where we were, it was insanely cool!!

I highly recommend Skydive Cross Keys! The staff are so friendly, helpful and very...
