Looking for Skydiving in the Clarksville area?

Before you decide to Skydive at the Adventure Skydive Center in Waverly, these are facts you need to know.

A Gift Certificate Company based in Kennesaw, Ga. that operates under the names of
Adventure Skydiving Tennessee, ASC, 1 800 Skyride, Adventure Sports or Thrill Planet has been running
websites and internet advertising claiming to offer Skydiving in each and every city and state in America and the Skydiving Center in Waverly, Tn. is part of this scam.

Be advised that

The average Tandem Skydive will cost between $180 and $220, depending on what part of the country the Skydive Center is located. The only other charge that should be added over and above that cost would be if you should decide to purchase the video of your skydive and this will normally cost between $65 and $90, but keep in mind that this is completely OPTIONAL and no reputable skydive center will require or pressure you in to buying the video package. There is a Skydive Center that is located in Cedartown, Ga. that operates under the names of 1 800 Skyride, Adventure Skydiving, Thrill Planet and many, many other names. They run websites that claim to be in every Metropolitan city and every state in America.

Their latest claim

Is that they Are operating in downtown Clarksville and many Metropolitan cities. The truth is that there is NO skydiving in any major city in America, It's ILLEGAL! The only skydives that happen in the city are if a skydiving team jumps in to a major event like a Pro Football game or a NASCAR racing event etc. Those are professional skydivers and are definitely NOT first timers.

Normally Skydive Centers

Are located 30 to 75 miles from the major city. The 1 800Skyride/Adventure websites do not give their location and they will not normally tell you where they are until they have your credit card information. They will immediately charge you a cancellation fee and a bad weather insurance fee. They don't care if you have a death in the family or what, you will be charged these charges and they DO NOT get applied to the cost of your jump. These charges in combination with the cost of the actual skydive and your travel including a hotel room in Cedartown, Ga. (Atlanta area) or Waverly, Tn could cost you well over $500 to $700 for a skydiving trip that should not have cost over about $200 to $290. (This is if you choose the video).
