It takes a special kind of person to jump out of a plane at over 13,500 ft. Find out if you've got what it takes on an unforgettable introduction to the exciting sport of skydiving.
Enjoy the thrill and speed of up to 60 seconds of incredible freefall, against a backdrop of some of the most breathtaking views of San Francisco you will ever experience. Climb to a height of between 13,500 and 14,000 feet before the lights go green and it's jump time! Exiting the plane is a life-changing moment and you'll be on the ultimate natural high from the minute you experience the incredible freedom of the air.
It's your job to smile, scream and wave as you zoom through the skies at speeds of up to 120 mph while your expert instructor does all the hard work for you. Gasp in awe as your canopy is released and you feast your eyes on show-stopping panoramic views that will linger in your memory forever. Drink in magnificent vistas of the entire Bay area and glide serenely down to earth with only the sound of the wind and your own heartbeat as accompaniment.
Nothing comes close to the incredible experience of skydiving - we guarantee it. Discover San Francisco's spectacular coastal setting from a whole new perspective and find out why skydiving is one of the most addictive adventure sports known to Man!
You must be aged 18 years of age and weigh less than 225 lbs (102kg). The weight limit may be increased to 245 lbs (111kg) on the day however the decision will be made on a discretionary basis, based on the instructors available. There is a $20 extra fee, payable in cash to the instructor, before the jump for those weighing more than 225 but less than 245 lbs. Your training on the day may be shared with other participants but your jump will be one-to-one with a fully qualified skydiver.
Arrival at Bay Area Skydiving
Drive to Bay Area Skydiving in Byron, about 50 miles east of San Francisco. Check in, meet your USPA-certified instructor, and attend the pre-jump briefing. The briefing covers body position, the exit, and the deployment sequence. The weather in Byron is consistently clear — it's one of the reasons the drop zone is here rather than the coast.
The Jump
You board a jump aircraft and climb to 15,000 feet — one of the highest tandem altitudes available in the Bay Area. The door opens. You exit over the California valley with the Sierras visible on one horizon and the Bay on the other. Freefall from 15,000 feet gives you 75+ seconds of freefall at up to 120 mph before canopy deployment. Then a long, quiet parachute ride with views you'll spend a while trying to describe to people afterward.
