What an amazing experience! I wouldn't have wanted to do it with anyone else, the whole team is great! Everyone is so friendly and super funny. I highly recommend it to anyone, it's the best thing I have ever done. Thank you all so much, and a huge thank you to my awesome instructor, Brent for making my experience out of this world!

Really fun guys, help you keep calm and get excited! Damo my instructor was awesome! Landing on the beach was really sweet, definitely worth the $30 upgrade since I saw a manta ray swimming in the ocean and I was floating down :)
