FailQuail 0 #1 February 22, 2014 Hello, I'm new and hoping for a little bit of advice from people who know more. I have never jumped before and would like to go for my birthday. I was thinking of the Monterey bay california skydive because they have the highest commercial free fall and it's quite pretty there. I would like advice on if this is a facility that has a good reputation. I'm aware some places are somewhat less safe than others, or so I have been told in passing. I live in the bay area California. Thanks everyone Quail Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trafficdiver 8 #2 February 22, 2014 I've only been to Tsunami Skydiving in CA and it was incredible, I know nothing about Monterey Bay other than that it is also on the coast so that sounds cool. Check out the dropzone's rating under the dropzone tab and see the reviews. As for saftey, tandem incidents are soooo rare. Like 1 a year rare in my time, so I wouldn't worry too much about safety. I'm sure every dropzone in your area will get you down on your feet safely. Most incidents these days are licensed skydivers with a working parachute who have an issue near the ground. As for a good reputation...my idea of a good reputation is how are the parties after the the beer light goes on...yours may differ.My advice is to just get out there and do it.
