I am extremely afraid of heights , but I thought I would try and conquer my fear w/ my dad on his 50th bday . The staff is so amazing here at skydive California . I had told them I had a fear of heights and they made sure to explain everything to me so that I would feel comfortable . I am so glad I decided to go skydiving because it was the best time ever . After you skydive once with them they give you a coupon for $99 for your next skydive but you have to buy it that same day that you did your first jump . So of course I bought another jump for my 21st birthday which is in 16 days !! and I'm bringing my best friend w/ me as well since I told her how awesome it was . If you are scared of heights and want to overcome your fear with some pretty cool people I would highly recommend coming to SKYDIVE CALIFORNIA . read more

Skydive California - getting ready to hop on the plane !! - Skydiving Near Me - Tracy, California

I cannot recommend Skydive California enough! I don't normally write reviews but I felt it earned a review after experiencing it for several months and making it my main dz. This place is great if you want to experience skydiving with a tandem jump or, like myself, go through the AFF program to get your license. The instructors, rigger, staff, and owner are all awesome: very knowledgeable and friendly to help beginners like myself and experienced jumpers. They have video and photos available so you can remember that first jump or watch and learn about your body positions to better hone your skills (definitely worth the extra coin!) They put a lot of emphasis on creating a welcoming and safe culture and you can feel it instantly when you walk up for the first time. So whether you're looking to jump out of a plane for your first time or an experienced jumper, I highly recommend you check this place out! read more

I bought a tandem package for my boyfriend for his birthday and we did our jump this past Saturday. I did a lot of research on where to go and decided I felt safe picking Skydive California. I feel very bad for my instructor and cameraman...I was scared out of my mind and didn't engage with them as much as I could have. Having said that, they were both so awesome and I'm ready to redeem myself. Lol. Bernardo and Ryan made me feel as comfortable as was possible and made my first experience so amazing. the gals in the office were great too! Wish I remembered all their names, but I only remembered Val. I had complete trust in Bernardo and he has a very calming presence. Thank you all so much for doing what you do and keeping us safe and happy read more

This was a great experience. The folks here are very friendly, professional, and super relaxed. I loved the environment and their fur babies as well. I can't highly express what a great experience this was. Also, thanks to Mark for helping me with this first time jump!!! read more

This is by far my favorite DZ. Everyone is friendly and everything is clean and brand new. You feel welcomed from the moment you get to the parking lot. Best part yet is that is dog friendly. I went this past weekend for a freefly camp and everyone had a great time. The DZO makes everyone feels as part of the family. They have t-shirts for sale that look amazing. I will definitely be rocking mine during the week. This DZ has the feel of a small friendly family. I will definitely come back. Blue Skies. K read more

Very experienced, safe and badass instructors and packers here. Attempted my A License back a few years ago and I always felt confident in their skill and knowledge to keep me safe and have a great time! Shout-out Hiley, CB, Tyler and Aaron This is the spot to learn or tandem for sure! read more

Just completed my first skydive at Skydive California and can't recommend it highly enough! I was very nervous, however, my instructor TOM immediately put me at ease. He was extremely knowledgeable, kind and supportive. The whole team there made it a really fun experience. The video package is a super fun keepsake :) read more

I did my first tandem skydive with them. I had a mixed experience. Everything was pretty smooth and quick, and the thrill of the skydive was great. My instructor wasn't friendly at all and didn't make me comfortable. I would love to do it again but with a different instructor. read more

Friendly staff and instructors! The place feels well run, safe, and the instructors genuinely care for you to learn and perform well. They want you to succeed in AFF, and I learned a lot of different things from all the different instructors I worked with. Reasonable prices, shade and tables for you to rest/eat in, and enough indoor/outdoor space to be comfortable. Open Wed-Sun, with lots of planes going up on Sat/Sun. Would recommend for AFF or tandem! Call ahead in the morning before you head over to check the weather conditions! read more

AMAZING. Just amazing. I came for Aaron, he's a close friend of mine and the owner. Aaron is one of the nicest, most genuine people I've ever met. He took me on my first jump and I can't even put into words how great this experience was. This place is beyond words. Skydive California is a beautiful facility, and everyone there has incredible energy; positive, helpful, reassuring, this place does skydiving right. The experience itself was terrifying, but the staff makes you feel so comfortable, confident, and completely at-home. That is hard to accomplish for any business. you receive careful and clear instructions, and you feel so safe in the hands of the experts here. This place is full of expert junpers and beginners alike, all contributing to the fun, friendly and positive atmosphere. I plan on telling ALL of my friends about this place. It's amazing. I know I will be back. I highly recommend Skydiving california to anyone serious about skydiving: beginners and experts alike. read more

Skydive California is a wonderful place to experience your first jump! The office staff is welcoming and upbeat. My instructor, Neil, couldn't have been better. Neil kept his instructions simple and by the numbers & he smartly gave those instructions once on the ground & once in the air. The instructors have hundreds of hours of experience and just following instructions make the jump as easy as it could possibly be. The photos & videos I purchased separately were well worth it! The down side of the jump, I WANT TO DO IT AGAIN & AGAIN! Thanks Skydive California & Neil for an awesome experience! read more

Amazing experience!!! The instructors were really professional and made me feel very comfortable for my first time. The video and photos turned out great!. Did the tandem jump @13000ft and it was well worth it, I would definitely jump with them again! read more

I visited Skydive California a couple weeks ago for my very first skydive, and I have to say it was overall one of the best experiences I have ever had. The staff was incredibly helpful, warm and funny. They made me feel at home and at ease before embarking on a very "risky" adventure (statically it is very safe but it is perceived as risky) Their dedication to not only having a fun time but a creating a safe experience was evident. I was so impressed that I purchased a second jump for both myself and my wife. I opted to have the video, which I highly recommend. Both because you want a lasting memory since the adrenaline makes you almost forget certain events but also because the camera man, Tristan, is hilarious and makes we want to purchase a second video just so I can jump with him. Great team, great location and great experience! 5 STARS ALL DAY!!!! read more

Skydive California - My and my wife pre-jump! - Skydiving Near Me - Tracy, California

My friend came to visit me after 8 years. So we decided to sky diving. I was very reluctant bcz I can't take rides how can I do this. But we went. Crew explain everything very clear. They show us video in which they clearly tell us if we r scared and don't wana do the jump we can say no and they will take us back. My instructor was Mike. He was very nice easy going. He just gave me very simple instruction which was just enjoy. He told me to put my legs in chair pose when we were landing. That was a key tip to everyone for landing. My landing was very smooth. Chair pose mean when u swing u put ur legs up that's how u land. An other thing when u r in the air there is no way back or changing mind because everything is very quick My friend and my husband had very rough landing bcz their instructor didn't tell them right. read more

I've tandem once B4 on the East coast, this is a class act. Tom Safeish, Lee LaBarge, (& Mark Fisher videographer) met me with the same excitement I had. Safeish was my Tandemee, and as adventurous as the boys were (that's what I wanted), Tom ALWAYS made sure I felt safe, protected, and secure. That allowed me to enjoy every bit of the jump. The gentleman after me, was his first, and he has it bad w heights . . . He too had an awesome experience. These guys are the real deal. Great plane, equipment, knowledge, & of course safety! (Speechless about the view) Thanks Boyz! read more

Amazing staff. Went here for my first jump. Really nice employees, very friendly and welcoming. Really recommend this place. Facility is good and clean. My video and pictures turned out amazing. Thank u skydive california:) til next time! read more

Great dropzone. Jumped from a Cessna Caravan (single engine turboprop) and really liked the plane, climbed fast even with a very full load. Clean facilities, well organized, helpful employees. I've been jumping for almost half a century but it was my first time at Tracy. The safety officer gave me a thorough briefing on hazards outside of the designated landing area, landing patterns and how to stay clear of the swoopers. Helpful and friendly not preachy or condescending. The landing area is large so I had no problems. The pilot gave us a perfect upwind exit spot. You will like this place, whether you are brand new or experienced. read more

It was mine and my bf's first time skydiving and we couldn't be more pleased with the staff and our experience. My boyfriend jumped with Tristan and I jumped with Bernardo. I would definitely jump again with those guys :) read more

Great experience with Tristan and the camera operator. First tandem jump and couldn't be happier. Thank you Aaron for running a first class operation. Awesome experience! read more

I wasn't able to skydive when I went here due to the wind. Of course, that was not the staff's fault and they were friendly, professional and communicative about the delay. They were really kind and gave me a full refund with absolutely no hassle. When the same thing happened at their competitor (Bay Area Skydive), the owner refused to refund me. I would highly recommend choosing Skydive California and I will be returning. read more

The energy this place has is truly incredible! Having skydived before I was blown away with the experienced staff and positive attitudes. These people LOVE to skydive! The owner and staff go out of their way to make sure you have the best possible experience. I could not recommend this place highly enough. They also have the sweetest dropzone dog ever! Blue Skies! read more

Did my first tandem dive a couple of days back. Came back in one piece, with a great feeling that I will treasure for the rest of my life. And about the Skydive California team- Amazing is an understatement. They were so good. They know you are freaking out inside, but they handle it so well. Couple of things I noted from my 10k tandem dive : 1. The flight was a small single engine propeller flight. There are no seats, you basically sit on the floor of the flight between your instructors legs (.... now don't think dirty :D) 2. The flight takes only 2 divers at a time (1 diver = 1 instructor[strapped to your back]+ 1 photographer + you). So if you thought a group of 3 or 6 can get in a single flight and dive together and all.. forget it. 3. Sign up for the video! You will be glad you did. 4. It will take around 30 min for each turn. Meaning, for the flight to take 2 divers to the altitude, drop them and then come back to get the next batch. If it needs to fuel, add an additional 15 min. So expect to wait. Ours got pushed some 2hrs, but it was worth the wait. 5. The drop zone is over a big stretch of some paddy fields (I am guessing here). You will more or less see grids, when you drop . Its a very nice view. So go JUMP! read more

Me and my sister went to do tandem skydiving this Sunday June 5th 2016 I highly recommend this location to every single one of you guys looking at this the hospitality is well beyond your expectations they greet you with a nice smile since the beginning that you first arrived they explained everything detail by detail my instructor did everything so professional and made it seem so easy but the best of all that everything was so fun I jump from 13000 feet and I'm ready to do my second jump already so if you're ready to jump definitely head out there to skydive California it will blow your mind away with lots of fun there is something to do for every single one of you guys hopefully this review helps out a lot of people that are not ready to jump it makes it much easier to actually do it being my first time thank you Skydive California crew skydiving+me=Fun read more

The full retail price for the $99 Amazon Local offer is $155 (10K jump), not $185 (13K jump) as advertised on Amazon. (Amazon wouldn't post this review because I labeled the offer as false advertising) Expect hard sell for the video/photo package, $120 per person. The staff expects tips. Overall a pleasant experience. Good for first timers. read more

I had a bucketlist of ToDo's before i die. And the first one was skydiving on it. Was scared that i might die if i do it :D, but it was a super amazing experience that i got through skydive california. We were a group of 6 and i just loved it loved it and loved it. And my instructor Scott he is an awesome guy, he made me feel really comfortable and was cracking jokes making the situation feel light to take off my nervousness. I just love u Scott for saving my life :D.I shouldnt forget to say this, Aaron is a very good guy in co ordinating the things well. read more

I skydived once in Mexico and once in the Bay Area but my tandem jump here at Skydive California was the most fun! This was my first time getting the video and I think that made the actual jump more fun because you get to jump with someone else right next to you. Of course the video and pictures came out great but free falling with the video guy is way more fun than without. We were able to see San Francisco in the air. Another plus about Skydive California is that everyone lands right there on the grass so you can watch your friends land and you don't have to take a bus back. read more

I took my first Tandem skydiving today. It's an incredible experience. Jumping off the plane at 13,000 feet was initially daunting. My instructor Bernado made it less nerve-wracking for me. My photograph Brian did an amazing job shooting me from the sky. Thank you both! read more

Great place, super organize, easy going, friendly people. Had a blast!

Just finished a 13000 ft jump with Skydive California for my husband's 30th birthday and couldn't recommend them more!! Not only did they make it a festive day, their relaxed - yet still informative - approach was the perfect compliment to our newbie nerves! Feels great to check an item off our bucket list, especially when you're supporting such a great crew and company! read more

One of the best days of my life!! Richie, Hiley, and the rest of the staff are all awesome!!!

Me & and my wife did our first tandem today. It was a fantastic experience of skydiving from 13000 ft. The staff is super friendly and they made us very comfortable. Definitely recommend it.

What a great experience. I agree with all the other reviewers positive comments about of the instructors and photographers.

I also recommend getting the video - it's so fun to re-watch. This place gets high marks across the board. Definitely recommended! read more

This is a nice family style dropzone. I definitely recommend it for students, tandems, and experienced jumpers alike.
