The whole experience was amazing! Allison kept in contact with me throughout the entire process as we had to reschedule a day later than planned due to weather. Then the day of there were wind conditions and she touched base again. When it was finally all good to go I was greeted by her and she handed me off to Angelique who was awesome and bubbly. Her energy was contagious and she really was good at hyping you up.
My tandem partner was Ben who was also awesome, he explained everything to me thoroughly and made sure to get lots of video of me before hand and some visuals up in the plane.
The jump itself was like nothing I've ever done before! Ben did a great job getting the video and landing us safely. It is something I will remember for the rest of my life!

Gord, Allison, and everyone at Skydive Vancouver Island made me feel extremely taken care of during what was a very delicate first skydiving experience!
I booked a last minute tandem skydive back in October 2019 on 24 hours notice. It was my recently deceased fathers' wish to have his ashes scattered over the ocean - and not only was SVI open to hosting this experience, but they took into consideration *every single detail possible*. With the backdrop of an October sunset, I had a most thrilling last adventure with my dad (and Gord, haha) that SVI truly made beautiful and special in every way possible. I can't recommend these guys enough for their professionalism, humanness, safety standards, and outstanding customer service!

We are a family of 5 (3 - twenty year olds) that went skydiving for the first time. It was such an amazing experience. Gord, Allison and crew were fabulous and put all our worries at ease (especially mine:) Such an incredible thing to do as a family! We all loved it!

Thank you so much for the kind review! We remember your family well and the excitement they had especially when you braved the skydive as well! We also noticed afterwards that you survived triplets and that is way harder than skydiving!!! ;-) Hope your family vacation was amazing!

This was my first skydive, and it was amazing!! I was surprised at how much it didn't feel like I was falling. It was exhilarating! The view was breathtaking, fantastic to be able to see so far! It is a bit chilly up high, so dress for warmer than ground temperatures. The staff were all very friendly and extremely helpful (and also supportive during my 10 seconds of doubt in the plane). I will definitely be back to Skydive Vancouver Island again, and would recommend that everyone try Skydiving at least once in their life!!

From beginning to end, the experience was easy, fluid, and thoroughly enjoyable. Alyson, Gordon, and the team made us feel right at home and are fantastic people to spend the afternoon with. The entire experience from beginning to end was awesome and we're so glad we chose to spend our 30th Anniversary with these fine folks. It's an experience we'll never forget and I highly recommend anyone and everyone try skydiving at least once, and can't think of anyone better to take you up!

This was a surprise gift for my 40th. The entire crew was awesome, from the ladies handling waivers, to the pilot, my instructor, and the videographer. Every step was thoroughly explained and they made me feel as comfortable as someone can feel right before they fall out of a plane at 10,000ft! Video and pictures they sent afterward were unreal and they were in my inbox before I left the parking lot. Great crew, great company, would go again 100%

I decided I wanted to jump start life after lockdown-literally! I got the impression from the first step on site that these people take their jobs seriously. They are real pros, yet, somehow made the whole experience to the glory moments, safe, seamless, and like the most natural thing to ever do. What a great team and what a life changing experience. So many thanks to everyone.
