Who are the Skydive Ontario Staff?
The core group of Skydive Ontario staff members and instructors come from a variety of different backgrounds. Almost all members of the staff, except for the owner (Jeff), work part-time at the dropzone (aka ‘skydive centre’).

Our staff is made up of:
- West Jet flight attendants
- retired Canadian Forces snowbird pilots
- retired Canadian Forces parachute team members
- university professors
- university students
- movie stuntmen
- firemen
- iFly indoor skydiving instructors
- current headdown world record holders
