We are a family oriented skydiving facility that prides ourselves on having fun and being the safest Drop Zone possible. You can choose from two of our training methods. You can make a Tandem Skydive by flying all the way up to nearly 11,000 feet (or 2.08 miles) and fall at 120MPH for around 30-40 seconds.
You can also take our Static Line Course and learn all you need to continue down the road on your skydiving career. Our training methods and equipment are the most current and state of the art you will find anywhere. All of the Instructors at Skydive Rick's are licensed by the United States Parachute Association. From the start of the Alliance Sport Parachute Club in 1960 and the opening of Skydive Rick's at the Petersburg Airport in 1986, we have YEARS of experiance in the business of jumping out of perfectly good airplanes.
With Certified Licensed Instructors with OVER 40,000 combined skydives, why go anywhere else??

Written by Barbara Kellogg who was crazy enough to be a part of it

The Skydive Ricks Ohio Jump Tour started with one random thought voiced to another skydiver. The conversation went something like, so I got this bus and I think we should try to skydive seven drop zones in one day. Whatcha think? The crazy thoughts came fast and furious How about painting the bus? Which drop zones? What about Bob and Maggies drop zone, we cant leave them out. Who are we gonna take? How do we limit whos going? How do we not hurt feeling by not asking some? We limit ourselves to eight skydivers because some drop zones only had 2 Cessna 182s that would only hold 4 jumpers and we couldnt wait. Time was going to be very tight. And we were going to pack in the bus while it was moving. Yes, while it was moving.

It doesn't matter if you are 18 years old or 81 years young, solo or in a group, on vacation or just curious....
Tandem skydiving is the fastest and easiest way to experience the thrill of a lifetime. Feel the freedom of freefalling at 120 mph from nearly 11,000 feet!
