Skydive Monterey Bay

I recently did a 15,000 ft skydive with Monterey Bay Skydiving, and I can’t recommend it enough! I had the honor of jumping with Fabricio as my jumpmaster, and he was absolutely amazing. From the moment we met, he made me feel completely safe, calm, and excited for the jump. His energy, professionalism, and positivity turned my nerves into pure adrenaline and joy. Also, a huge shoutout to my photographer (I wish I caught his name!) — they captured every special moment so perfectly. The photos and video came out incredible and I’ve been watching them on

Had an unforgettable first-time skydiving experience from 18,000 feet, one of the highest commercial tandem jumps in the world. I jumped alongside a really fun, nervous, excited, and courageous group of fellow skydivers, which made the experience even more special. Huge shoutout to Joey, the energetic videographer who kept me pumped, and Lucho, my calm and experienced tandem jump master with over 10,000 jumps in 10 years! He kept reminding all of us to have fun, and that mindset made all the difference. Professional, safe, and deeply joyful. Can't wait to see the video and pictures. Highly recommend! Edit: Saw the pictures and the video and I'm reliving it, all over again. Many thanks to the people who made this possible. What an amazing experience it was! I guess I would do it again!

I went to go for the 15,000Ft. Skydive here last week. Since the last few weeks, I had a genuine fear of even thinking about doing this. Then came THE DAY. I met up with Lucho, my jumpmaster that day, went through the basics, and off we went! To keep it short, standing by the aircraft's door before the leap was undescribable. I mean I couldn't process what I was doing. You HAVE to experience this yourself. The jump, the views, the launch of the parachute, the landing. Landed safely, defeated my fear of even comprehending to do this, and wanted to go again. Thank you so much to Skydive Monterey Bay and Lucho for this experience!

I loved it here - worth every penny! Dylan was my jumpmaster and was very cool. Staff, in general, were very nice and helpful. The views were so nice and I would SO come back here again. 18,000 feet was AMAZINGGG. I would so consider taking lessons to possibly jump by myself too! Best experience ever!!!

I had a reservation for 9 AM, but due to weather conditions, it was rescheduled to 11 AM. That caused a bit of a disruption in my plans, but I adjusted and arrived on time. Unfortunately, even after checking in at 11, there was no clear communication and I ended up waiting with no updates for another 3 hours. It wasn’t until 2 PM that we finally suited up. After that, we waited for another hour, only to be told that skydiving wasn’t possible due to weather. They offered a lifetime voucher, which I understand that safety comes first. That means I just a man who watched only a plane for 5 hrs. However, I believe they should have communicated more clearly throughout the day about what was happening. It’s tough to just sit and wait without knowing anything. Also, I didn’t get my deposit back — I’m not sure if that’s standard, but it’s something to be aware of.

Unreal experience! Jumping from 15,000 feet was pure adrenaline from start to finish. The freefall was breathtaking, and the views were out of this world. One of the best things I’ve ever done in my life!

I did their VIP jump for my 50th birthday and it was a great experience. Brandon was my instructor and he made everything so safe and reassured me every step of the way. This is a team I felt I could trust implicitly and I don’t trust easily. I don’t think I’ll do it again, but I think if you’re on the fence, just shut up and jump. :) You couldn’t pick a more beautiful place to jump.

An amazing experience that I would recommend to everyone who's brave enough to try. The staff were amazing from beginning to end.. Shout out to my guy Tony for giving me the strength and confidence at 15k Feet.

The best experience! I've always wanted to go skydiving and I heard good things about Skydive Monterey Bay. Back in January I had scheduled my jump and paid the $50 deposit. As it got closer to my scheduled date I started receiving texts/emails with tips and weather updates. My jump date was scheduled for Saturday, the day before my birthday. Due to the weather my jump was set back a day. That worked out perfectly because it was a beautiful sunny day & I was able to jump on my birthday! You start by filling out a waiver. Going over paperwork, weighing in and pay. Bring cash! There is a discount for paying cash. I went with the 18,000 jump + pics/videos. *Also, keep in mind that you may want to bring a little extra for a tip for your Tandem instructor and videographer. You are given a scheduled time and you wait for your instructor to go over all the jump details. Then you load the plane. Or in my case, a bus takes you to the plane after the first set of jumpers have landed. On the plane, the instructors give more details about how to exit and what to do when while jumping. Then the jump! After landing you are transported back and able to get your certificate! Great experience! Awesome instructors and videographers! Totally worth it.

For my birthday, I decided to go big--18,000 feet big--with Skydive Monterey Bay. The great reviews and high-altitude option made the choice easy. Go big, or go home right?! The staff: Super chill and welcoming. Ana at the front desk was incredibly sweet. My jumpmaster, Kevin, made me feel safe from start to finish--great instructor, easygoing, and someone I knew I could trust. If I ever jump again, I'd definitely ask for him. Tony, my videographer, captured some incredible footage, and it was awesome watching him fly around with us in the air. These guys are not just professional skydivers--they're absolute badasses. And trust me, after this experience, you'll feel like one too! Pro tip: Get the ultimate video & picture package. It's totally worth it! There's so much happening in the moment that you won't even realize until you watch it back. The only heads-up I'd give--if you're prone to motion sickness, you might feel it a bit before the landing, but I had no issues feeling sick going up or jumping out. If you're thinking about skydiving, just do it--and do it here! 10/10 would do it again in a heartbeat!

I had a great experience with my first jump at Skydive Monterey Bay! All the staff was enthusiastic and friendly, I felt very safe and encouraged, and everything was super clear and informative. My jumpmaster Emmett was AWESOME and made the experience super fun and memorable. I highly recommend! Personally, I did experience airplane ear during the freefall and nausea during parachuting but that was no one's fault and I knew those were possible side effects. Overall couldn't have asked for a better first skydiving experience

"It was my first jump and had a thrilling skydiving experience with an incredible instructor! Your guidance and positivity made all the difference. Felt safe, prepared, and totally exhilarated. Highly recommend taking the leap with you!" PS : @jason thankyou for making this feel safe and awesome

Best day ever - I loved skydiving!!! I would so consider taking lessons to jump by myself, too!!! Dylan was my jumpmaster for the tandem skydive at 18,000 and was cool; staff, in general, were very nice and helpful. I can't wait to jump here again, it was so exhilarating.

It's been 4 years, but I was finally able to come back and skydive at Skydive Monterey Bay! I wanted to give an update because lots have changed in 4 years, but nothing has changed at Skydive Monterey Bay! They are still full of friendly, professional, friendly, caring, and helpful people! They are so organized and made sure everyone had a great time! Safety is also so important in an activity like this, and I felt safe from minute one. You can tell they are meticulous with completing every part of the process and everything works like clockwork! If you go, definitely get the video and picture package with your own assigned videographer! It is not an experience you want to forget, so let them document the whole trip for you! We were very lucky the day we went because the weather was perfect! We checked in at 10:30, completed all the waivers and paperwork, chose our jump, our video package, and was told to wait about 30 minutes while they create the jump lists. The lists came out at 11:15 and we were immediately introduced to our jumpmasters to get us ready! That's how organized and efficient they are! My jumpmaster was Alzir and he was phenomenal! He was so friendly and encouraging and I would definitely jump with him again. He had great energy and totally made the experience a million times more fun! The only thing I was wondering was that it shows on Yelp they have a check in offer where they give you the USB drive for free, but when I got there, the lady said they don't have any offer like that. However, I heard another customer talking about it with his family later and he said he got the offer. In the grand scheme of things it's not a lot of money, especially when you compare to what you're spending on the jump and video package, but just wish it was more consistent with all customers. Either way, I don't take anything away from the review because this place is just a 10 star company!!!!!!

I loved jumping with Jason today! Everything went so smooth. He is a real pro and I felt at ease and got to enjoy the experience because he totally had everything under control. It was a good day and all the jumping staff were super cool.

I did the 18k tandem skydive at this location. This was my first ever skydiving experience and I am super afraid of heights. My instructor was Tyler and through out the entire journey, he made sure I aa m not scared and enjoy the full experience. I am probably going to ask him as my guide again if I do another jump from this location :)

I highly recommend Skydive Monterey Bay if you are curious about skydiving. I felt completely comfortable and in good hands throughout the entire process. The location is great and the views of Monterey Bay were stunning from above. My instructor, Moe, was excellent and explained clearly what to expect throughout the jump. Regretfully, I forget the name of the videographer that went with us as well, but he was great too. Be careful if you love rock climbing or other expensive hobbies; you may be tempted to pick up a new one! What a great sport. Go to Skydive Monterey Bay when you're ready to give it a try.

My friends and I loved it, we want more!!! 10/10 experience with branden, Dylan, and Samuel!!! See u guys soon hahahaha

We did skydiving for my husband's birthday and it was such an amazing experience! We both loved it! My instructor Kyle is wonderful and I would definitely come back and jump with him again. The training was easy, he made feel safe, and when we were up in the sky he let me try to navigate the parachute, it was so much fun! Definitely recommend Kyle and this place for your first jump, especially if you wanna do the 18000 feet.

Amazing experience! The staff were very friendly and welcoming! Rowan made my first skydiving experience unforgettable and Christoper captured the best moments. I am already thinking about my next jump! Thank you Skydive Monterey Bay

For someone who is scared of heights, skydiving was still something on my bucket list. Skydive Monterey was an interesting experience- I felt like it was a little unorganized in the sense that they crammed as many people as they can in one day to get as many jumps in as possible because we spent over 3 hours just waiting for our turn to jump. They switched my instructor at the very last minute as we were boarding the plane and during the entire ride up, that was when I was given new jump and landing instructions, which made me super nervous cause they were different from what the previous instructor had told me. Nonetheless, this was still a great experience!

Your experience and review is going to be based on your expectations and how much research you do beforehand. I read a lot of reviews before booking our tandem skydive experience so I knew that it wasn't going to be a quick day, that photos and videos wouldn't be fast (I didn't opt in), and that I couldn't cancel for my $50 per person deposit back. With that in mind, it was a 5* experience for me. Communication from the team leading up to the jump was very clear. We were originally supposed to jump on a Friday and the weather was iffy. The team texted me all the way up until Friday morning when they knew they weren't going to fly and booked us for the next day saying there would be better chances. They knew I was coming from SF and also communicated before I would start my drive to Monterey. Day of, the registration process was smooth, although it did take a bit of time to check out. We then waited about an extra 1-2 hours to allow clouds to clear and glad we did so. Once we were clear to jump the day was beautiful and we got to see everything. The tandem guides are fun and ensured we felt comfortable at all times. I'm not sure how other companies operate (if better or worse), but we felt safe the entire time. Most importantly is that we landed in the Jump Zone and alive. Whole experience for us was from 8:30am to 1ish pm. Keep in mind we were also on the first flight up. Would recommend this company again for a good experience and amazing views/experience.

I went skydiving here twice (once from 15k and once from 18k). The staff are AMAZING and so great at helping you feel at ease throughout the whole process. The tandem instructors are kind, funny, and empathetic to this experience of pure adrenaline. I cannot speak highly enough of this entire experience. From start to finish, I felt so cared for and engaged. It made my free-fall experiences so wonderful! Richard and Ana are amazing front of house staff, as are Brendan and Rowan as tandem instructors.

Super fun , great experience staff is friendly and Make you feel safe !!! Sky is your limit !! Go to Skydive and enjoy this experience.

I had a great experience. I walked in on a Saturday morning at 900 AM with no reservations, bought the whole package (18,000 feet with video), paid with a VISA, (about $400 per person) and filled out the forms. As a business lawyer with 34 years' experience, I have never seen a more devastating pack of waivers. It takes about 20 minutes to sign them all. Just sign - if you really think you are going to die, I would suggest staying home and watching TV. Big tip: For your jump master BEG for MARK. He is absolutely the best - professional, reassuring, and just a nice guy. My videographer was JACKIE. Both were excellent. The views and the backgrounds she captured were incredible - exiting the plane, the free fall, the chute opening and the landing were all perfect. She didn't miss anything. Jackie even wore a winged jumpsuit that enabled her to maneuver all around me during free fall. The music added to the DVD was a very nice touch. You also get a CD with approximately 100 still images - very nicely done. Since I signed up for 18,000, I was in the last group to go - so I waited (no chairs) in the landing zone for three other groups to go up and come down. You learn A LOT just watching the others' landings. The jump was amazing and the views were incredible. There is nothing to compare to this. The 120 MPH air flow does a number on your face, so don't expect to look pretty on the video, especially if you are over 40. Their plane is great - a Beechcraft King Air. It will haul a busload of skydivers to 18,000 in 9 minutes. The pilot was as smooth as glass. Stepping out the door at 18,000 for the first time is indescribable. My landing was great. A few others weren't so fortunate. Just keep those feet up and you will avoid a face plant. It was an experience of a lifetime. The jump master and videographer were totally professional. The most impressive thing: When my chute opened, I watched my videographer, Jackie, disappear straight down in a nanosecond. Folks, you are really moving toward mother earth. My right ear stayed plugged for 1 1/2 days, but there was no pain. Bottom line: You could die doing this, but just don't die without ever trying it. Skydive Monterey is a great place to step out of a perfectly good airplane.

Very friendly staff, Brandon was awesome! It was my first jump and he was very thorough, fun, and made sure I was comfortable before, during, and after my jump. I waited so long to finally do this, and finally glad that I did!

I've jumped twice before but this was the most thrilling jump so far and the most comfortable due to their great equipment and instruction. My tandem guy was Austin and he was so much fun and so was Joey my photographer. I will be back next year

A great experience I will never forget! The trainers are well experienced and will walk you through everything you need to know. My trainer Christian was very helpful getting my gear on to assisting while take off to the end taking our jump at 18,000Ft! You also get a jump diploma. Tip: wear a sweater and possible gloves as you're in higher altitude dropping as the wind gets cold.

This was one of the greatest adventures one could have in about 10 minutes from take-off to jump landing. Lucho was fabulous, happy, friendly and very skilled. He made the jump as enjoyable as falling at 120 MPH can be, took great pics and landed us safely. Could not have been better!!

Woooo!!! I finally did it. I'm actually very scared of heights but I went by myself and I did it. I had sooooo much fun. It was so much adrenaline and I found it quite relaxzing when you're floating in the air and take on spectacular view from above. Thank you "Rowan" You've brought this unforgettable experience to me. Even though, I screamed a lot but I loved it! You're the best Jumpmaster. Thank you "Skydive Monterey Bay" You guys are amazing!

5 Stars for the views and the professionalism of the jump masters. 3 Stars for the organization and wait times. When they say 5-6 hours, they really mean it especially if you plan on doing the 18,000 feet jump. On the plus side, if you pay cash you save $10 extra bucks, if it's your birthday, you save another $10 so I saved $20. We were originally told to get there at 10:30am and then were moved to 10:00am. We arrived a few minutes after 10am and there were already quite a few people ahead of us. I heard it's even busier on a weekend so plan accordingly and bring some snacks because there's vending machines with not a great or healthy selection. It's also $1 in quarters for a tiny locker to store your stuff. I was with a few of my blind friends so we took 2 hours to fill out the paperwork. They had to sign and do a video acknowledgment for the waivers - we weren't told until we brought them up to the front so we had to go back and initial each page since I had initialed for them since I wasn't their power of attorney. Not a huge deal, just wish were told at the beginning to save some time. We didn't suit up 'til about 1ish and were in the sky around 3ish. We were in the final group so it was 4 of us plus the videographers for those of us who got the video. I added the video package since it was my first time. The video and pics turned out great. The view is amazing and Christian my jumpmaster was super chill, informative and made me feel relaxed and comfortable the whole time. Kudos to Ben for describing the imagery to one of my friends and letting him pull the cord since he had jumped a couple of times. Not sure if I would go back here again, but it's definitely worth experiencing at least once in your lifetime if you can stomach it.

Awesome experience! We got in right before 10 and were the first ones in the hangar. We were 30 minutes early for the call time at 10:30, though people were definitely able to trickle in a quarter past. The staff is super friendly and great to talk with, all of the Master Jumpers (skydiving certified experts who take you on this journey) were very chill and knew how to keep you calm throughout the experience. The wait time is a bit long from 10:30 into 12:30 when we actually started jumping, but there were enough tables and sofas to lounge around in and great, friendly people to talk with to occupy your time. (We were also prepared for the downtime by reading reviews prior to going) There are coin-operated lockers where you can store small bags and your phones and the system seems pretty safe with giving the keys to the staff via a bowl at the front desk before getting into your harnesses and queuing for the plane ride up (there is not too much movement in the hangar besides staff, no stragglers arrive after 11 is what I noticed). The actual experience of free-falling at 18,000 feet was both terrifying and exhilarating, the nerves and adrenaline didn't even kick in until we got into the plane and were straddling the foam benches on both sides of the tiny plane. For me, when we were climbing the first 5000 feet of elevation, that's when I started internally freaking out. I was the first person to jump out of the plane with my Jump Master Cathy (awesome gal, by the way - I think she's Italian or Spanish?), and my cameraman Chris was super friendly and chill. Though we jumped on a clear blue sky day with little to no wind, I will say it's hard to breathe when free-falling from such a height. That, or I started panicking and with winds hitting your face at over 100 mph, it adds to the difficulty in getting air. I think if I ever do this again, the key is to breathe calmly and not try to open the mouth to suck in air. My suggestion to the crew is to maybe offer full helmets or face masks for 18,000 feet jumps as well. Though we do not get spiffy jumpsuits like other skydiving companies, they do give you goggles and you're very secure in your harnesses attached to your Master Jumper. Once Cathy deployed our parachute after 1-2 minutes of free-falling, I was finally able to breathe (and very suddenly too) - I for one am terrified of heights, so dangling and swinging in the air and looking down, I had the dropping feeling in my gut, but only for a few moments before I got to take in the beauty of the bay and the greenery all around us in the Monterey area. The overall experience from jumping out to landing was about 9-10 minutes, the plane ride up was about another 9 minutes. Overall, the entire experience took about 18 minutes. NOTE: IF YOU ARE CONGESTED, DO NOT GO SKYDIVING/JUMPING!! You will wreck your Eustachian tube in your ears (aka airplane ears). A few first time jumpers experienced this, though I was fine. But it's important to not risk this. 10/10 would do again but probably ONLY with a facemask and if there are no high winds. Proud to say that I am one step closer to overcoming my crippling fear of heights all the while knocking one more item off my bucketlist before I turn 30. :)

My husband and I went skydiving with jumpmasters Kyle and Brandon in July '24 and had an amazing jump! It was my second time jumping and both of our highest jump at 15k. It is one of the most intense, life-affirming experiences a person can and we were so happy with our experience. The crew are fantastic and professional. We always felt safe and like we were in good hands! Thanks for everything!

Our experience was amazing and Rowan was GREAT! I was beyond nervous but he was so patient and encouraging. Truly a great day with a great tandem partner!!!

If you ever feel like skydiving I highly recommend this place! The views are amazing and the instructors are awesome! Everyone is very professional! I jumped with Mauricio and he did an outstanding job keeping me safe and making me feel comfortable. I jumped at 15,000 feet and will definitely be back to do the 18,000 feet. I'll be requesting Mauricio iwhen I go back. He was AWESOME!!

My jumpmaster, Brandon, was absolutely amazing. You want someone who makes you feel safe and in good hands when you skydive. Brandon was able to quickly connect with us and made us feel safe so we can focus on enjoying the experience. For first timer, I couldn't ask for a better jumpmaster and better experience. I'd go again!

Amazing first time experience! I decided on the 15K (I'm terrified of heights. ironic?) with no footage, which I'm very sad about now because I wish I would've gotten footage. I guess it's another excuse to go again! :-) My partner/instructor was very clear on his briefing instructions and even had a picture as an example of form before jumping off, which helped a lot. He also clarified any questions and concerns and talked me through the parachuting adjustments! The view is BREATHTAKING! I don't think the season matters because you get the view of the ocean, the city, land, and the hills. It's an indescribable feeling and you definitely have to experience it for yourself. All skydivers are very well trained and do an amazing job! Definitely going again in the near future!

Loved it, definitely was worth every penny! Everything went smoothly with no problems. Would recommend! My instructors, Vitaliy and Mauricio, were kind, knowledgeable and fun.

This place is very professional. The staff is competent and friendly. Everything looked new. I'm a local and was still amazed by the view up there. This is the place to visit for skydiving.

I had a great time jumping with Jonny!! He was so calm, cool, and collected. I had motion sickness and Jonny made the jump enjoyable and fun!! Love the shirt I got for being VIP!! Highly recommended jumping with this company and especially with Jonny!!!

I had an awesome time skydiving here. My jumpmaster Brandon was super helpful and made it a lot of fun. Definitely an experience I'll never forget and I'll definitely come back again.

Took the family to Skydive Monterey while visiting my daughter. It was an unbelievable and unforgettable experience. The office and staff were professional, well-informed, energetic, and added to the overall adventure. I had the pleasure of jumping with Diaz. He was incredible to work with. His patience and knowledge made jumping out of a plane smooth and effortless. I would highly recommend both Monterey Skydive and more specifically Diaz for a parachuting excursion.​ ​

Great experience! Highly recommend! Ask for jumpmaster Brandon Diaz for a great experience!

Bradon made my jump so much fun! Great staff, felt very safe and fun. Will definitely be back!

What an incredible experience!!! This was my first time skydiving and I didn't know what to expect. I am so glad i did 18000 ft while everyone else in the plane did 15000 although that meant i was the first one to jump once we were in the sky and that gave me absolutely no time to mentally prepare but maybe that was a good thing . There's no words to describe the feelings during the jump & dive, you'll need to experience it for yourself. You don't feel the sinking in the stomach feeling like you would expect (speaking for myself anyway) but you definitely know you're wayyyyyyy up there. Lol it's truly a mental thing!!! The view from above is breath taking. My instructor Luian was nothing short of amazing--- he was super energetic and made me feel comfortable from start to finish. My personal videographer Andreas(? not sure how to spell) was very nice and supportive throughout my whole dive, too.

This was the most Exhilarating Time of my Adult Life! I only Wish I had tried this at an Early Age. I Got Such a Sweet Deal. $$$ Mr.Gutierrez guided me through all the initial Safety and Parachuting Procedures; I'am so grateful to have had an Instructor with Over Two Decades of Experience. He literally removed all my Fears! I will always Remember this Amazing Moment over the Ocean and Northern California. There aren't enough words to truthfully describe the sensation, but anyone could easily become HOOKED to these types of THRILLS. Once You JUMP You Will KNOW!!

Had such an incredible experience at Skydive Monterey! Was very nervous leading up to it, the staff, all the jump masters and videographers were awesome cracking jokes and trying to make you feel as comfortable as possible! My jump master Jonny was great! He really walked me through everything made me feel comfortable and confident every step of the way would absolutely jump with him again! Also did the ultimate video package which I highly recommend the footage you get back is phenomenal, great to be able to share with friends and family and have as a keepsake to remember your jump because it is a bit of a blur after your first time. Adam was my videographer and he did such an incredible job he also helped make me feel calm and comfortable, it was great being able to look out at him during the jump smiling back at me and giving me the thumbs up as well for that extra confidence. All in all I had an amazing first jump experience and would definitely go back and can not say enough good things about this place or Jonny and Adam! Edited to add: We also had to postpone our jump by a week due to weather and they did a great job communicating everything with us ahead of time, we also were delayed a little on the day of again due to weather which honestly made me feel more comfortable. They take your safety so seriously and are so careful about making sure it's the right time to jump, they want you to have just as incredible of an experience as you want to

Cannot say enough great things about the people at Skydive Monterey Bay, especially my guy Dani . . . the best!!! I had made a bet with my son and it took 4 years for me to fulfill it; Covid was part of the delay. . . but to be perfectly honest I was SCARED!! Dani was so kind. . . I had a blast and looking at the pictures I was smiling the entire time. . . kept my eyes open through it all. I had friends say the jump out the door was exhilirating and the rest kind of 'anticlimatic' . . . not with Skydive Monterey Bay. The entire experience was AMAZING!!! If you have ever thought about it. . DO IT. . . but do it at Skydive Monterey Bay. BTW. . . I am 62. . . don't let age stop you.

Had the time of my life checking off this bucket list item! Edu was my jumpmaster- highly recommended! He was an excellent instructor and made me feel super safe the entire time. We did the 18000 foot jump and it was incredible. Josue was my videomaster and was kind and helpful as well! The entire team was helpful, kind, personable, professional, reassuring, and an absolute blast!!!!!!! Can't wait to jump again!

What An amazing experience! But wasn't too thrilled with my photos. The wait time is about 4 hours before you actually get on the plane. Make sure to bring some food with you. They only have a vending machines there.

How about start your week (Monday) by jumping out of an airplane and literally fly???!!! That's what happened this week. We decided last week to challenge ourselves and we chose Skydive Monterey Bay as our destination. We went with the 18k tandem and let me tell you: Worth it every second. The location is really easy to find and lots of parking spots. We go in, the girls on the check in are super friendly and helpful through the whole process of paperwork, payments etc. De-Andra was really cool and informative. And funny too. It made me forget completely that I was about to jump out of an airplane for a minute while talking to her. I totally forgot the name of the other girl there, she was very nice and even helped me with watching my video righg there and then after the jump. So we get all set, we had some instructions of what was about to happen. One of their oldest instructors (very experiment) talked to our group and explained what was to come. We then were paired Up with our personal instructor who then set up our harness and talk to us individually. By the way, in case you don't know. They par you up based on weight and height (I believe). Keep in mind you can't be over 220lbs for this experience. So my instructor happened to be the one and only TADEU aka #Teddy. Such a small world, he is also from Brazil (like me) :) Needless to say it was very comforting to go through the whole thing on my native language (plus points there +++) He instructed me, made sure I was comfortable and good to go, and we headed to the airplane Once you're in, there's no way back lol. Small little plane, but felt very secure. We go really high. We were the first tandem to jump. There was 3 solo jumpers ahead of us. The whole experience goes so quickly, so make sure to open your eyes and enjoy as much as you can. The free fall is something else! Not to mention he got us out of the plane with a flip backwards!!!! (plus points there too +++) He will give you signals for when to relax and pose to the camera - good luck doing there during the free fall lol its hard And then once the parachute opens you get to see the pretty view much more, worry less lol and then... The maneuvers which they call "Rollercoaster" is very fun too... The land was smooth, they have helpers on land to make sure you land well and safe. No trouble there. I'm hooked. Will have to do it again now that I know exactly what to expect. I definitely recommend. Five stars for sure.

what a great experience. my instructor Dylan was awesome. definitely recommend this for anyone.

What an amazing experience that everyone should try out at least once in their lifetime! Shoutout to Jump Master Charlie and Videographer Joey! I went for my 21st birthday on Sept 1st, a weekday. I got a email two days prior giving me my jump time at 11:30am. My dad (not jumping) and I arrived at 11:10am and we were able to get the paperwork, payment and information by 11:40am. I actually thought we would wait longer but we were given the training and geared up by 12:15. I splurged on the most expensive video/picture packet ($189) and the highest option to jump (18,000 feet, $289) and both were so worth it! I also got a birthday discount ($10), student discount ($10) and paid in cash (another $10 discount). Charlie, my jump master, was extremely calm and assured me through the entire way that everything was going to be ok. He explained clearly and throughly about the process from where to put my hands, head and where to look. Joey, the videographer, got amazing video and pictures of my first time skydiving! And I'm so happy that I got it. I got over 500+ photos and a well edited 7 min video (filled with interviews pre and post flight, b roll of the plane/view and 2-3 angles of me jumping off the plane and flying in the air). We left at 2pm with the usb, a jump certificate, coupons and such a adrenaline high! Come to this location, take the leap and I will definitely be back in a heartbeat. The only thing I would suggest would be providing the first time jumpers with a helmet with a face shield/visor. The amount of wind that got through my nostrils was brutal and I had a pretty dried out sinus/throat for a good 20 minutes after. Aside from that, I can't wait to jump again with this team!

Had an amazing time! The instructor, Brandon, was awesome and made the experience easy to follow/pleasant! Would do it again and recommend to any friends!

Really enjoyed the world's highest tandem skydive with Josh. It was my second time skydiving. Condition of equipments - be it parachute, plane etc - was very good. Josh was very friendly as well, and did a few safe tricks on the parachute as well as during the free fall. Only thing I didn't like was how slow they go through the paperwork, how much time they take to make the manifest. I think there's a scope of improvement there.

*cue freefallin by Tom Petty* THIS WAS SO FUN! Love this place. It was my best friend and I's first time skydiving and we had a blast! We're definitely coming back. Not just for the skydiving, but the staff was amazing! Everyone was so sweet and respectful. We went here on a sunny day and the weather was perfect. I had to reschedule twice because the weather on the original date was foggy. They give you text message updates as well as email updates to let you knowi if the weather is bad. I really appreciated this because it takes 2 hours to get to Marina from the east bay, and I wanted to make sure the weather was good enough so I didn't have to waste time driving. Jumpasters: All the instructors have an outstanding sense of humor, I couldn't stop cackling at their jokes. My jumpmaster was Jonny and he was awesome! He was very friendly, outgoing, and made sure to explain what he was doing while securing my harness before we were in the plane and while we were in the plane. He also did some tricks in the air (the boomerang and a twirly one) gave us a little more time spent in the air and I really got a kick out of it. I definitely recommend asking for Jonny if you come here. His energy was perfect. Logistics: The facility is easy to find. The parking lot is spacious which is great. Bring some snacks and pack a lunch because you're going to be waiting for about 1-2 hours before you actually board the plane and jump. We got there 2 hours early so this gave us time to drive down the road to the food and shopping plazas. There's really good food spots in this area so definitely check them out while you wait. Leave your belongings in your trunk if you don't want to pay for the lockers. They're only $1 but if you have a large backpack unfortunately they won't fit. COVID-19 protocol: I was fully vaccinated when I went skydiving, but just to take extra precautions I did get tested afterwards. When you enter the facility they take your temperature and ask the mandatory covid symptom questions. They enforced social distancing and wearing face masks in the warehouse while waiting to board the plane. Only 1 person is allowed in the restroom at a time. Masks must be worn at all times except when you're right about to jump out of the plane. I had mine on the entire time and only took it off when I got in the plane. You can easily stash your mask in your pocket, but if you don't have any or can't access it fast enough, stash it in your sports bra (if you're a girl). If you're a sucker for goofy people, dad jokes, and sarcasm, this is the place for you! I can't say enough about this place. I'm truly astonished by how funny everyone was lol.

Absolutely the most thrilling experience of my life. Went all the way with a back gainer out of the plane, and loved every nanosecond! Thanks to my excellent tandem partner and the amazing dude filming, I get to relive the amazement and adrenaline anytime, complete with a soundtrack of the Moody Blues "In Your Wildest Dreams" (my choice)!
