Check out the calendar to see who is organizing during your visit!
During the busy season from October 1 - April 30, we provide load organizers 7 days a week. During the summer months May 1 - September 30, load organizers are available on weekends.
The company we work closely with is Droplyne. The owner of this company has a lot of experience dropping skydivers at and around our facillity. For more information about pricing and reservations, check out their website!

INTERNATIONAL SKYDIVERS
Due to some technical changes in the rules about how containers and reserves are packed and maintained, we want our customers visiting from outside the USA to be aware of a potential problem.
If your gear is approved with a US Certification (all American made gear and any European gear with a TSO) it has to meet US standards for maintenance and packing cycles. This means it must have a seal on the reserve, be packed within 180 days of use, and be packed by an FAA approved rigger.
While we do not have any way to check the status of your rigger, your gear will need to be packed within the past 180 days and the reserve will need to be sealed with the rigger’s number or symbol on it.
We will be working with our Federal Aviation Administration to resolve this as soon as possible. Meanwhile, we apologize for the inconvenience.
Skydive Arizona is a United States Parachute Association (USPA) Group Member. We adhere to all Federal Aviation Regulations and all USPA Basic Safety Requirements. In addition to the BSRs, the USPA has established recommendations for many activities that Skydive Arizona fully supports.
You can read more about the Canopy Flight Policies before jumping with us. This will help you familiarize yourself with the different landing areas and flight patterns.
It is also a good idea to read through the Known Landing Hazards to familiarize yourself with what the typical problematic patterns and landings are and how to avoid them.
Every dropzone has their own Aircraft Policies. Since we have several different types of aircraft, read before before you board the plane to keep from making an embarrassing mistake.
Skydive Arizona offers several options for the traveling jumper. We strongly suggest advanced reservations:

The bunk house is conveniently located right on the drop zone, so you don't have to miss a thing!
