Skydive Maryland

No longer at this location

Great experience! Don made the experience easy and smooth! I plan on doing it again. Thanks to all the staff! Aisha

These guys have been horrible to deal with. I bought a friend a gift certificate to go skydiving out of their location just across the Bay Bridge, and they have since moved their operations to Harford, about 45 minutes north of Baltimore. Now that I want a refund (who wants to go skydiving over a bunch of cow pastures?), they won’t answer my e-​mails or phone calls. I will never recommend them to anyone.

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. My wife purchased a skydiving package for me last year for my 30^th birthday, and I have attempted to go on 4 separate occasions, and its 3 days from my 31^st birthday, and I have yet to go skydiving. Skydiving Maryland is «run» by a guy named Lance, who actually lives in the abandoned farm house down the road from the air park. Lance has absolutely no idea how to run a proper business, and after driving down to Ridgely, MD (which is a 2.5 hour drive for me) for the second time and seeing how he operates, I would never trust going skydiving with him or any of his instructors.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!

SKYDIVE MARYLAND = TRASH
So I have to start off by saying that this was by far the WORST interaction I have ever had with ANY business. My brother and I were planning on going skydiving here and we booked through skydive Maryland. The first time we drove all the way out to Ridgley, the person in charge Lance was first off extremely rude, and second had overbooked that day and wanted us to wait 7 HOURS to wait for a group of 15 people to go before us even though we had reservations for a specific time. The coward LANCE didn’t even have the decency to come and tell us himself that he had messed up, he sent one of the instructors.
So we went home and rescheduled for another day, we made the 3 hour drive back to Ridgley a few months later with an appointment time of 2 PM. This time LANCE told us there was one person in front of us and then we would get started so «just hang tight». So we hung tight for 3 HOURS. And then thunderstorms came in. And again the coward LANCE didn’t have the decency to tell us himself that we couldn’t jump that day he again sent an instructor. I understand you cant jump in poor weather, but to make us wait 3 hours for no good reason when the weather was just perfect, to only tell us we cant jump in a thunderstorm when our appointment was for 2 pm is absurd.
So finally LANCE said if the rain thunderstorm passes by 7PM we could jump today and that he would be there all day so if we wanted to run into town and hang out he would call us if it clears up. So we did that and around 6:30 PM we decided to come back to the jump site and of course LANCE is no where to be found.
To summarize, this place is terrible. I typically do not write reviews for places but this was the WORST experience if my life. LANCE is basically a hippie who does not know how to run a business and it shows. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL and he has absolutely no respect for patrons and their time. DO NOT GO HERE, you will regret it.
