Skydive Santa Cruz brings the absolute magic of skydiving, human flight, and parachuting together, all against the backdrop of the breathtaking vistas of Santa Cruz and the Monterey Bay. The fusion of panoramic ocean views, rugged mountain landscapes, heart-pounding freefall moments, and a personalized approach to skydiving is what makes Skydive Santa Cruz such a unique first jump experience.
Skydive Santa Cruz is dedicated exclusively to first-time jumpers and student skydivers, with an unwavering commitment to delivering the ultimate California skydiving experience. Nestled along the central coast of California, Santa Cruz provides an ideal setting for an adrenaline-infused skydiving adventure.
While many California skydiving centers boast about the size of their skydiving facilities and aircraft, we take a different approach. In true Santa Cruz style, our vibe isn't defined by scale; rather, we focus on providing a unique, memorable, and super fun experience. If your ideal first skydiving experience includes a close to the beach skydive, against the backdrop of the Monterey Bay, paired with a scenic flight over Santa Cruz, in a chill and more private setting, then Skydive Santa Cruz is your wave.
The safety of skydiving is well-established as one of the safest outdoor adventure activities. By maintaining a deliberately compact operation, we have assembled a team of exceedingly experienced instructors who hold United States Parachuting Association certifications, and who prioritize safety above all else. This dedicated approach has enabled us to uphold a perfect safety record throughout our more than 12 years of operation.
Just as in real estate, location matters in skydiving! Skydive Santa Cruz is the only skydiving center in Santa Cruz. For first time skydivers we are the closest skydiving center to San Jose and San Francisco offering an ocean view perspective during your jump. Our prime location is only 90 minutes from San Francisco and only 45 minutes from San Jose.
First and foremost, a commitment to skydive safety and professionalism. Ask us about our training methods, maintenance, gear, and experience levels.
The right team is why we’re so highly rated. Our crew is highly trained, experienced, talented, and of course, nationally certified.
Prioritizing the well-being of their guests. Without you, we don’t skydive, or experience all those amazing feel-good first jump vibes. We like the hugs and high fives, too.
We’re not perfect, and we can’t predict the future, but we try very hard to make decisions that enhance your skydive experience and respect your time.
