Skydive Coastal California

I have only compliments for this place. Making my reservation was easy then it had to get cancelled due to rain and rescheduling was no problem then when we get there we are greeted and given all the information on what to expect. Then the trainers you jump with are absolutely the BEST!!! The BEST!! They made the experience so great. Only thing I can say they need is maybe a vending machine while you wait with drinks. Absolutely love this place and recommend it to anyone who wants to try skydiving

We had a great experience with Skydive Coastal California! I went my with my wife for both of our first time skydiving. The check in process is unique, as people had said in previous reviews. You walk in and there is a person on a zoom call you chat with. He goes over the costs and you pay with him. We opted for both of us to get the video footage of the experience. After you pay, you wait for the next open slot. It does benefit to arrive early in case multiple people have booked around the same time, you could save a lot of time by arriving early.

It's important to note that the plane can only hold 4 people total, including the instructors. This means only 2 tandem pairs can go at anytime so if you are in a group of 3 or more you'll be broken up into groups of 2.

Also, we were fortunate to have a day with great weather, but weather can certainly cause delays which isn't the fault of the business. On our day, the airport was pretty busy and we had to wait in the airplane for almost 20 minutes to takeoff because of all the arriving aircraft. Again, all these delays can add up but it's important to realize it's not anything the instructors or pilot can help change. Some people complain about the delays but it's kind of just part of the business. Again, showing up early can help put you ahead of other groups and save an hour or more of time!

The actually skydive was incredible. Our instructors were Jamie and Seve and they were absolutely awesome. I couldn't recommend them more! We would love to go again!

I'll absolutely recommend to all my friends!

The best experience for first time skydiving. Amazing experience. The staff was amazing. Jacob my tandem skydiver instructor was gentle, fine and educated in regards to safety and being careful to take care of you.

SO MUCH FUN!
We booked with this company about 5 days before we were scheduled to fly. Unfortunately, due to high winds we had to reschedule, which was very easy. You get there and check in/pay in the office, they suit you up, and they drive you to the airport. We hopped on the plane and were on the plane within 30 minutes of arrival. The plane ride was about 10 minutes (only 2 jumpers fit in the plane, so it was me and my friend, hooked onto our instructors, and the pilot). The whole process was done within 1 hour. They were very explanatory throughout the whole process and I never felt unsafe. The landing was very easy and there is a parking lot for friends and family to watch! Shoutout to Alex, my tandem jump instructor! Thank you for making my 18th birthday special!

I did my 3rd jump here with Seve and it was my favorite jump so far! Alex took my friend up and she had an amazing time for her first jump. We got a beautiful view of the beach and the mountains. Seve was clear with instructions, fun, and gave me a thrilling jump. Office was easy to find. They drive you out to the plane and drive you back to the office. Prius driver was nice and made sure we didn't forget our belongings we left in the car.

Highly recommend this place. Even with the time adjustment and slight delay. These things happen when playing in the sky.

One of the worst experiences of my life. Booked this for a friends birthday, the worst of worst places. Started like this.
Appointment at 12pm for 3 people. Then tell us to wait 1 hour because they've had too many people who showed up today. Then after waiting an hour, we're told we have to split up, when it was never mentioned when initially booked. After waiting another 2 HOURS. We were finally able to fly. Got in at 11:30am for a 12pm appointment and we weren't done till 4:15pm. Save yourself the headache go to Perris. Better yet, go anywhere else but here.

My husband, bff, and I went here to celebrate my 40th birthday. We had the best experience with Alex and Jacob and the whole crew at Skydive Coastal California.

The process was pretty easy when we got in. We were greeted by Andrew in the front and he was there to review our waiver. He was super nice, friendly and helpful. He answered all our questions and got us going.

We had to split up our threesome because the plane only fit 2 tandems at a time. My bff went first. We got to watch him from the landing zone. He seemed to have a great time in the air. We then went back to the skydiving office so we could get our gear on.

Alex and Jacob were showing us how to get out of the plane and what our body position should look like. They were really chill about it like it was no big deal. My husband was taking it all in because he was the one who was really nervous about this jump.

Once we got our harnesses on, it was time to drive to the Camarillo airport.

We got on tiny plane and headed off. It was an absolutely beautiful day, hardly any clouds in the sky and it wasn't a bumpy ride at all, considering there was a bit of wind.

My husband was right next to the door so Alex, my husband's tandem partner, was able to slide the door up in mid-air so my husband can really look out at the ocean, the fields, and the mountains. My husband was a bit nervous because he's afraid of heights. Then Jacob, my tandem partner, said jokingly, "do a barrel roll". Alas, we didn't do a barrel roll, but we were getting ready to go because our instructors were starting to join our harnesses with theirs and tighten it up.

The last piece was to put on our goggles and it was go time. My husband went first. You can see the look of fear in his face in the picture I posted. I was next. It was actually kind of difficult getting my foot out of the door, but once I did, there was no countdown, it was just go go go! I didn't have time to get nervous or scared. Once I realized I was in the air free-falling, I felt like I was actually flying and not falling. It was the most amazing, surreal feeling.

Then the parachute opened and I felt the harness tug as we floated back down to earth. Jacob let me steer for a bit, which was a lot of fun. The views were breathtakingly beautiful. As we were landing, I could see my friends watching me. Jacob told me the exact time to stand up to land and I landed so gracefully.

It's been 5 days and my husband and I are still talking about what a great experience it was, even for my husband who was pretty much shitting his pants everyday just thinking about it.

I would 100% recommend going here. The views are epic and the people are so incredibly nice. Opt for the video and pictures if it's your first time. The video/photo quality is amazing. Oh and don't forget to tip!

I went skydiving for the first time with Skydive Coastal earlier this year after my college graduation, and it was a superb and exhilarating experience! :D I loved every bit of it; thus, I would return to them in a heartbeat.

Jacob, my instructor for that day, was beyond amazing! He was friendly, open, and helpful. Jacob made me feel comfortable the whole time, and it was delightful to have engaged in an intriguing and long conversation about skydiving. He was so informative, and I could tell he was an expert because of the large number of jumps he said he had completed over the years. Therefore, I knew I was in good hands.

When I was nearing my jump, I felt a range of emotions. From nervousness to excitement, I felt so struck emotionally. It was a natural reaction, but as soon as I jumped, I felt nothing but euphoria, and it was far more thrilling than riding on a fast roller coaster. I loved that Jacob allowed me to maneuver the parachute, as shown in one of the attached photos below. It was so fun to control the parachute's handles because I could adjust the speed to my liking. For instance, sometimes we would fly quite fast, and other times it would be nice and smooth. Furthermore, the views we saw on the plane and during the jump were breathtaking.

In sum, I am wholeheartedly thankful for having experienced my first tandem skydive with this company, and I cannot be any more appreciative of their kind and courteous service.

My wife and I did a tandem jump with Dan and Alex. They were very professional and thorough with everything. They made jumping out of an airplane a true RUSH! If you want to skydive look no further than #skydivecoastalcalifornia . You are in great hands!

The entire team was very knowledgeable, accommodating, and friendly. Alex was my instructor and I could not have asked for a better experience. He guided me through every step of the way and I can't wait to jump with him again. 5/5 experience, highly recommend!!!!
