Why Us?...We Thought You'd Ask
For most people anxiety, nervousness and even fear accompany the decision to go skydiving. At Vegas Extreme Skydiving, we understand such apprehension and make every effort to ease your mind and explain the skydiving process to you in order to insure your safety and enjoyment. We believe in the philosophy that knowledge dispels fear, and as such encourage your mind to be enquiring. To this end, we urge you to read the following facts and make the decision with whom to entrust your life and the life of your loved one.
We are the ONLY drop zone in Las Vegas:
- to have NEVER had a major student injury or a fatality of any kind (be aware-some businesses lie about their safety record).
- to use a Cessna 208 Caravan, which allows us to take up to 12 skydivers at one time.
- to pick you up to provide free transportation from the Strip to the drop zone.
- to have the most experienced staff in Nevada.
- to allow experienced jumpers to use our facility.
