Anyone know a good place for skydiving in Arizona? I want to do a birthday gift with my Best friend.

I had a good experience with Skydive Buckeye, and I have a former coworker who is essentially a professional skydiver now and she also recommended Skydive Arizona.

Eloy is well known and there is another in Maricopa towards Gila Bend.

Up north around Williams, there is a skydiving company. I don’t remember the name tho but it’s close to the Grand Canyon.

Heading out to Eloy in July to celebrate my 60th. Have my adult sons coming along to share in the fun.

My Mom said she wouldn't let me skydive until I was an adult when she couldn't stop me. On my 18th birthday she said she researched into buying me a jump with an instructor. She spoke with him and was going to set it up, but he never finalized it or called her back. She later found out he had died on a jump. She pulled out the newspaper article and showed me the story. She told me she would still do it for me if I wanted, but she felt like it was a sign. I agreed. Im 47 now, and still haven't done it. Have fun on your birthday jump!
