Skydive Taft is located in the beautiful San Joaquin Valley at the Airport in Taft. We offer Tandem Skydiving, Accelerated Freefall (AFF), and for experienced skydivers, there's Skysurfing and Free Fly School.
Tandem skydive allows first-time jumpers to experience the thrill and excitement of the sport without the preparation and knowledge required for a solo jump. It only takes 20 minutes of training. You will free-fall harnessed to a highly skilled instructor from over two miles above the earth, reaching speeds of up to 120 miles an hour.
A four to six hour ground school prepares you for your first AFF jump. You will jump from over two miles above the earth accompanied by two jumpmasters while wearing your own parachute system. This program involves seven levels of instruction and is the quickest way to become a licensed skydiver.
Our skysurfing program is geared towards those experienced skydivers who would like to try skysurfing and possibly continue in this discipline.
The free fly school at Skydive Taft is geared towards experienced skydivers as well, and is designed to teach skydivers the basics of free fly.
Skydive Taft has an excellent student program which follows the US Parachute Association guidelines for training students. We also have one of the most experienced staff in the country—all of our jumpmasters are certified and licensed by the U.S. Parachute Association.
