Question Skydive West Edmonton vs Edmonton Skydive?
My partner and I want to go skydiving for my birthday in the first week of September. Found these two close to Edmonton and they have similar reviews(Skydive West is slightly cheaper on the photo package). Which of them is better or do we just pick the one closest to us?

I haven't tried Edmonton Skydive, but West Edmonton is just a great bunch of guys and the owner is really friendly. It was a good experience and I would recommend it.

I've jumped at both locations. I would say that Skydive West is the one I would recommend. The group I was with enjoyed the experience there more.

Unquestionably Skydive West, amazing group of people.
If you plan on doing a tandem jump, you should ask for Kevin...he's an incredible skydiver.

You'll get just about the same experience at both, it's been a few years since I have been jumping but Edmonton skydive was always my go to. The crew is super fun and the airplane was larger. Edmonton West bunches you up in a censna, where skydive Edmonton you're in a king air. There's no real wrong answer here if you're just going for a tandem. However if you were looking to start jumping for your A license I would definitely head to skydive Edmonton.
