Skydive Skydown kicked off the season with a proper foundation—hosting a full coach course led by industry legend Michael Wadkins. With decades of civilian and military experience, Wadkins brought a level of depth our candidates hadn’t seen before. Across hands-on drills, real-world scenarios, and plenty of laughs, our crew earned their Coach Ratings the right way: through skill, standards, and a community that backs each other. This course didn’t just build new coaches—it helped shape the future of Idaho skydiving.
