Skydive Taft has been serving the Los Angeles, San Fernando Valley, Bakersfield, and Central Valley for decades with a spotless safety record. This is the site where many milestones in skydiving history were accomplished, and more recently served as the training grounds for the Red Bull Stratos program. Skydiving with Taft offers amazing views of the untouched California landscape: the Pacific Ocean to the west, the San Andreas Fault visible almost directly below, and the San Joaquin Valley's snow-capped mountains to the east. Their twin-turbine aircraft hauls up to eighteen people to altitude comfortably, and their location boasts the best year-round climate and fewest weather related delays for skydiving in California.

The passionate owners and highly experienced staff value safety above all else so first-timers can focus on having the time of their lives while falling from the sky under the supervision of a world-class USPA certified instructor. As a comprehensive USPA Training Center, Skydive Taft also offers a complete student program that leads to becoming a licensed skydiver. Not all dropzones are created equal, and you’ll see why after your experience with Skydive Taft!
