Skydive Monterey Bay offers the very best first skydive experience because of its incredible ocean view skydives, the highest skydives in the world on every jump from the world’s fastest skydiving airplane. No other California skydiving center jumps closer to the ocean than Skydive Monterey Bay. Skydive Monterey Bay was awarded TripAdvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Award in 2022 and 2021, and is currently rated as San Jose’s Top Skydiving Center by Yelp. Skydive Monterey Bay pioneered the world’s highest skydive for first time jumpers. We are the only California skydiving center that jumps from 18,000 feet on every flight, enabling skydivers to freefall for about 70% longer than a standard altitude skydive.
