Very easy to redeem and schedule a time to dive. I do wish some more information had been provided on the overall experience- like how far and fast you fall and what color parachute to look for from the ground for onlookers. My dad enjoyed the experience and plans to go again! Joan Alpert2024-01-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I skydived at Sebastian Skydive for the 3rd time.
