    Do not skydive with these clowns! I paid him almost 500.00 last August 2021. I am from Kentucky and drive 16 hrs to get here. Last August when I paid him he came up with every excuse known to man. From the tire bursting and needing repairs which took a week and then airplane went into yearly maintenance. I was in Sarasota a whole for 4 weeks last year and they canceled multiple times. I ask for a refund and they said their company's credit card square would not allow them to give a customer a refund. They say they are ex military and police. I am a first responder (paramedic) my entire adult life. They gave me a certificate saying I could sell it on their site but they keep like 20%. I even purchased for it to be filmed. Fast forward to July 18, I contacted them once again and they scheduled me for next day I was in town which was August 13. They contacted me by text saying they would be closed for 21 days. Same amount of time I am in Florida this year. I live in eastern Kentucky and was destroyed by flash flooding on July 28 2022. We lost 80 % of everything we own including 3 new vehicles. I dont even own a car right now we had to rent one. I told them my story and send pics and they ask me to not send any more pictures that they have 0 emotions involved in my situation. I cant keep returning to Florida every year in hopes these clowns will take me skydiving. They are cutting back to part time already. Next year in August when we take a vacation to Florida they will be bankrupt and they know that. I live 16-18 hrs away and just can't jump in the car and drive here anytime I want.
