Our Journey Through the Skies
SkyDive USA began with a dream shared by a small group of passionate aviators and thrill-seekers who believed that the magic of freefall should be accessible to everyone. Founded over two decades ago, our journey started in a modest airfield with a single plane and an unwavering commitment to safety and exhilaration. From those humble beginnings, we have grown into one of the nation's premier skydiving centers, renowned for our exceptional safety record and unforgettable customer experiences.
Our founders, pioneers in the sport, envisioned a place where individuals could not only experience the ultimate rush of skydiving but also feel part of a welcoming community.

Today, SkyDive USA continues to evolve, embracing new technologies and techniques to enhance the skydiving experience while maintaining the core values that have guided us since day one.
