If you’ve never skydived before, then it’s unlikely you know what to look for in a great skydiving experience. A skydive is much more than the simple act of exiting a plane, free-falling, and landing under a parachute. Additional variables that make a great skydiving experience is the professionalism of the staff, aircraft type, skydiving facilities, and the safety culture. Skydiving centers are not unlike restaurants – they may all serve food, but the quality of the food and the overall experience can differ greatly from one establishment to the other. This is the case with skydiving centers near San Jose – all offer skydiving, but the kind of skydiving experiences are different at each one.

Our purpose here is not to be critical of any other operation as some do a great job; our purpose is to inform you, the consumer, how to make the best choice by sharing information that most first time skydivers don’t know to ask or how to go about doing the research.

If you’ve never skydived before, here are a few mistakes to avoid when selecting your dropzone of choice:

• Selecting the lowest price
• Selecting the closest skydiving location
• Not doing any detailed research

For the skydiving centers near San Jose, Skydive California is competitively priced, but it’s important to recognize that deciding where to jump shouldn’t ever be based around the lowest price. Skydiving has inherent risks that can lead to death and so the dropzone with the best safety record and positive reviews should be considered. Just as you wouldn’t search for the cheapest heart surgeon, you shouldn’t be searching for the cheapest skydive in San Jose! Similarly, selecting the closest dropzone to San Jose for the sake of convenience shouldn’t be a priority as to where you make your jump.

A good starting point in your research is to Google each skydiving center’s name and then select the “News” tab to see if any of the skydiving centers you’re considering have been in the news for any reason. This will indicate safety issues as this should be your starting point above all else.

The next important element is to use Google Reviews and other review sites to see if you can spot trends in service and more importantly, how a dropzone handles itself when under fire as this will show a lot about their professionalism.
