Before I lay down the rules, let me tell you about SkyDiveSanPedro and their team.  I stopped in for a visit…

Reasons this Business is Totally Cool:  What they Do

Crazy awesome adventure.  But let me get a BIT more specific.

Skydiving:

For over 20 years the team at Mile-Hi Skydiving in Colorado has delivered the best and safest skydiving experience to local enthusiasts and first-time thrill seekers. Starting in December, the Mile-Hi team has brought their passion and expertise to skydiving operations in the paradise destination of San Pedro, Belize! We are currently flying a Cessna 206 and we have a King Air on standby.

Take a look at the website, the pricing is CRAZY reasonable.  You can jump OUT of a plane for less than many Belize tours.

Flyboarding:

Flyboarding is an up and coming water sport that uses Jet ski throttle to propel water through a hose to the board that the student is attached to. As the student relaxes and learns their balance on the board, they will be horizontally lifted out of the water. From there, the instructor can coach them on doing different maneuvers, such as, turns and spins. It is a good option for people who want to try different activities in the water while staying in San Pedro.

Boarding

Our instructors are certified through Zapata Racing. Our equipment is the latest technology for teaching first-time flyboarders. We use BbTALKIN communication while out on the water so the student can get direct feedback in the water and in the air.

Lessons are $135 USD per person for a half hour. Or $250 USD for two people, half an hour each! This time is total time IN THE WATER and does NOT include the brief training and safety talked about on the dock

More Reasons this Business is Totally Cool:  Who They Are

Stop by the dock and chat with the team, they are all super cool and will walk you through the whole experience…that is, if you are on the fence.

When I jump out of a plane, I like a serious team.  And SkyDiveSanPedro certainly has them.

Rocky Rivero, Chief Pilot and Master Parachute Rigger:  Rocky started jumping in 2002 and has logged over 1000 jumps.  (That’s over 70 jumps a year!)  The craziest place he’s even jumped is Hawaii…and Ambergris Caye.  His favorite things about Belize?  THE FOOD and that it’s such a great place for your first skydive.

Rocky Rivero Profile

Max Lesziak, Tandem Skydive Instructor:  Max’s first dive was 2012 and he’s jumped 1800 times!  The craziest spot…Dubai.  How’s Belize so far, Max?  “Stunning views, delicious food and the friendly people…so it’s alright. :)”

Apparently it can be done in short shorts!

Rich Servantes,  The official title would be Deceleration Technician/ Impact Prevention Specialist, but I also make and manufacture fun. AKA a Tandem Instructor:  Rich…and this seems crazy…first jumped in 2008 and has done 7400.  Apparently he likes it.  His hobbies are flips and tricks.

Rich Sirvato Profile

Jessica Fry, Parachute Rigger and Packer and Flyboard Instructor:  The coolest spot she’s ever jumped is Dubai though, she says, it’s hard to beat San Pedro.  Her hobbies traveling, hiking, painting, hangin’ with my homies “what, what!”, watching movies, rock climbing, scuba diving and eating.

Sounds like San Pedro IS the place for her.

Abby Nawrocki, Flyboard Instructor and Parachute Rigger:  Abby has yet to dive in Belize and she’s super excited to do a tandem jump.  Her hobbies are rock climbing, snowboarding and hiking.  Sounds like she would LOVE the 2-3 day trek up Belize’s highest mountain – Victoria Peak.

Christina Manzi, Parachute Rigger, Packer and Flyboard Instructor:  Here craziest skydive is over our reef – “it’s the chance of a lifetime”.

Christina Manzi Profile

Landing:   The landing area is about 1.5 miles north on the west side of the island.  We have about 2 acres of land free from power lines or anything else that presents unnecessary risks.  After the customer lands, they take a boat ride back to the office.
