Xitesmai 0 #1 Posted January 1, 2022 Hey everyone. I'm moving to Oakland, CA this summer and I’m looking for a new DZ. It seems that the two options I have are Skydance in Davis and Skydive California in Tracy. I have my A license and 45 jumps so I'm just looking for a low key DZ with a really good vibe and a good place to learn and grow. Any recommendations between these two or any other places that I missed? thanks all! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rickendiver 6 #3 January 1, 2022 Bay Area Skydiving in Byron is also a good option. Great aircraft and great vibe. I've jumped at all 3 and you really can't go wrong at any of those 3 DZ's, 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xitesmai 0 #4 January 7, 2022 For those that have jumped at Skydance, does the gun range bother y'all? Like in terms of safety or hearing gunfire all afternoon? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,443 #5 January 7, 2022 Dunno about Skydance, but I spent about 10 years jumping at a DZ across the street from a gun range (the original Spaceland). No issues with either. The guns pointed away from the airport. Wendy P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be a plus for me. Now that I have a kid it would be great to get in two hobbies with one hall pass. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
