Skydive New Mexico

Absolutely abysmal on every level. Booked weeks in advance and even was confirmed the night before our jump. I made the hour drive to only be met by an unkept empty building. I waited for two hours and made repeated calls and texts to the company line and the admin who contacted me the night prior, with no answer. In talking with others at the airport, it would appear this is not the first time this has happened.Issues arise sometimes and that is when a company's true values are revealed. In this case, Skydive New Mexico's leadership was inept and cowardly in that they couldn't even be bothered for an apology, explanation, or an attempt to make things right. In short, I'm glad it didn't work out since I wouldn't want to put my life in the hands of people that can't even handle scheduling and communication.I can only imagine how dangerous this operation is if Skydive New Mexico applies the same lack of attention and professionalism to their safety protocols and equipment maintenance. It's also worth noting that in my attempt to find out who to contact to get my deposit back, I discovered that the "company" doesn't even have a valid business license with the state of New Mexico, letting it lapse years ago.The operational lapses, along with previous court cases for personal injury should give anyone pause on possibly utilizing their services. There are other and better options at the same airport. PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!

"If I didn't buy the ticket, you'd never go," said my wife, one week before the jump. It was a Father's Day gift (an expensive one) and suddenly all of that talk over all of those years where I claimed I would totally skydive if I had the chance, well, suddenly it was put up or shut up. And I was more than a little freaked out. "Well then... Um, I can't wait. Thanks, honey."The night before the jump I didn't sleep so well, and I definitely cringed when I read through all of the paperwork that I needed to sign, certifying that upon death or crippling injury, I couldn't sue. But when I climbed into the Cessna with my tandem instructor and we climbed 14,000 feet into the air, I felt an amazing sense of calm. I guess I just knew that the instructor had jumped thousands of times, and he didn't wanna die either, so hey, I was in good hands.The fall was absolutely incredible, and the entire experience was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my entire life. And I lived to tell about it. If I was reading reviews to figure out which company I wanted to risk my life with, I would be happy to read that this company was simply way safer, more accountable and more responsible than the competitors. I was in very good hands, and if I could afford it, I would jump another thousand times.

Great spot to jump! The people at Skydive New Mexico are absolutely amazing! Thanks again to Luis
