Who We Are
Not Your Typical Dropzone
Equal Parts Passion & Ambition
Welcome to Skydive NEPA – a very different kind of dropzone. Our mission is to advance airsports through education, mentorship, and opportunity. At Skydive NEPA, we’re not just helping people jump out of perfectly good airplanes … we’re teaching people how to fly.

Nick Cerminaro
Nick learned early that hard work and dedication will pay off. It might take a week, a month, a year … several years … but the life you desire is yours for the taking if you choose to pursue it. Since then, Nick’s operated with a no-days-off mentality, and it’s been worth it. Big time.
Nick was a teenager when he learned that, essentially, anyone can skydive; that he could skydive. He made his first jump the day he turned 18 and immediately wanted to go back up, and to learn to skydive as soon as possible. But it was the last day of the season and he could do neither right away.
It was 10 years before he jumped again – not because he lost his nerve but because he thought he needed a pile of cash saved before he could progress. When he realized he didn’t, he went full tilt.
Nick has since traveled the globe, living the dream with both eyes open. No opportunity wasted. He’s skydived and BASE jumped in the Dolomites, the Alps, Brazil, and in Iceland, Belize, Slovenia, and Egypt. He’s lept from hot air balloons, helicopters, biplanes, and paragliders. He’s even made history by flying over Niagara Falls.
And now he’s spreading the love through Skydive NEPA: a skydivers’ dropzone.
By design, Skydive NEPA is an incubator for learning, growing, training, and a whole lot of stoke. Here you get the guidance and mentorship Nick yearned for in the early days, have access to a variety of aircraft, and participate in skydiving expeditions across the world.
Nick Shares His Journey
Nick left the fast-paced life of New York City in search of something deeper. In this video, he shares how skydiving, base jumping, and an unshakable drive for purpose transformed his life — one jump at a time.
