San Diego Skydiving Deals: Frequently Asked Questions

California is effortlessly cool and one of the best places to experience the most amazing adventures of your life. Skydiving is a once-in-a-lifetime moment for most people – but in San Diego, we're blessed to be able to enjoy it over and over again. Before you book your own dive, find out more below with our FAQs, and discover how to claim one of our skydiving specials in the Groupon Manual.

How much does it cost to skydive in San Diego?

You can expect to pay between around $200 and $500 for a skydiving experience at full price. Operators may charge higher-end prices for a higher jump or to include videos and photos of your experience.

Our skydiving offers make it far more affordable – and for no fewer thrills. Among our favorite San Diego deals are:

Skydive West Coast, which includes a tandem skydiving package with HD video.
GoJump Oceanside, which offers 13,000-foot jumps over the pure-blue Pacific Ocean.
iFly, where you can practice with indoor jumps for less than $100.

Skydiving is one of the many options you have when looking to plan the perfect birthday.

How old do you have to be to skydive in San Diego?

For a traditional tandem jump, most operators require you to be 18-years old, although it may be possible to do a tandem skydive at 16 with parental permission.

That doesn't mean that the little ones have to miss out on all the fun, however. Children (and adults) can get all the thrills of skydiving with indoor jumps in a specialized wind tunnel in San Diego that's as fun as it is authentic.

Do you have to be fit to do a skydive?

Skydiving is, generally speaking, an activity for people with a reasonable level of fitness.

It's likely there will be a maximum weight (230lbs is normal). You'll also need to sign a waiver to say you are free of any medical conditions that may prevent you from taking part. If you have any concerns about your own health, you should check with your medical practitioner before you make a reservation.

Usually, operators will require you to be able to lift your legs for landing and be capable of walking and jumping without assistance. If you need any more information, we've covered all the important facts in our skydiving and parachuting guide.

Is skydiving in San Diego safe?

Skydiving is a sport that carries some risk, of course, but it is closely regulated in San Diego. All reputable providers use trained instructors, and carry out stringent safety checks before every single jump – so you'll be well looked after.

You'll be given clear guidance and instruction. Thousands of skydives take place safely and without incident every year.

Your jump will only go ahead if the weather conditions are right, which will be carefully checked on the day. Operators allow you to rebook if weather stops the jump going ahead.
