Before starting our A-license training program, I did an extensive research trying to find the best instructors in the area! I was very lucky to find "Above the Poconos" and our instructors Don and Darlene. Don is the world record holder for the most sports parachute jumps. His wife Darlene is one of the most experienced female skydivers in the world. Together, they run this small and cosy dropzone where safety is the top priority! All the stuff are very helpful and each student receives a lot of attention. The student chutes are of different sizes and there are all kinds of training equipment that you can use any time as much as you want between the classes! Our instructor Darlene even gave us her cell phone number and once we called her at 6:30 in the morning to check if the weather looks good for us to jump that morning!
All the reviews for "Above the Poconos" are great and I'm happy to be contributing another 5-star review after more than two months of jumping with these guys!!!
If you want to make your first tandem jump and/or go for advanced training, or simply looking for a good dropzone, you'll be very happy if you choose this one!
