    OMG..... FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO SKYDIVE THIS IS WHERE YOU WANT TO GO DO IT AT. I JUST DID MY FIRST JUMP (TANDEM) FROM 18,000 FT AND WHEN I TELL YOU I WAS SCARED WHEN I ARRIVED. I WAS HONEST ABOUT IT WHILE CHECKING IN AND THEY (Trish) LISTENED AND TALKED ABOUT IT WHILE I CHECKED IN AND INSTANTLY MADE ME FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE WITH JUMPING. MY INSTRUCTOR OR TANDEM JUMPER (Gustavo) WAS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS WITH AND MADE ME FEEL SO COMFORTABLE IT WAS AS THOUGH HIS KNOWLEDGE AND STRAIGHT FORWARD ANSWERS ALONG WITH HIS EXPERIENCE WASHED AWAY MY FEARS OF JUMPING. WHEN IT WAS OUR TURN TO JUMP HE TALKED ME THROUGH EVERY SINGLE STEP OF WHAT HE WAS DOING AND EVERYTHING HE DID HE EXPLAINED IT WHILE DOING SO. NEXT THING I KNEW WE WERE FREE FALLING AND ALTHOUGH SCARY AT FIRST IT WAS TRULY, "THE MOST AMAZING EXPERIENCE IT WAS FOR A LACK OF BETTER WORDS A LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN SOARING THROUGH THE AIR." IT WAS SUCH A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE I CAN WAIT FOR NEXT WEEKEND BECAUSE I PLAN ON DOING IT AGAIN. IF YOU WANT JUMPERS THAT ARE KNOWLEDGEABLE, FRIENDLY, EXPERIENCED, CARING THEN YOU WANT THE GUYS AT "Silicon Valley Skydiving" Trish & Gustavo thank you and everyone involved with you guys for a AMAZING EXPERIENCE I Must Say Best Birthday Ever Looking forward to seeing you guys soon for jump number 2

    Me and some friends decided we should jump out of a perfectly good airplane for fun, and we were NOT disappointed!! I chose to do the 18k drop, which is their highest. Going into this jump, I was terrified of heights, but I decided to face that fear head on, in the biggest way I could. My instructor was "The Kraken!" He was great! He soothed my nerves, and assured me that this was going to be fun and that I'd be fine. He also gave great instructions, and listened well. Great attitude and energy as well! I'd totally jump with him again! I also chose to get their VIP picture and video package, which included another jumper with cameras jumping with us. I believe his name was Vitor. That dude was awesome too! The pictures and video I got were super! Lots of great stills, and some incredible video footage to show my kids and my friends! I consider this jump to be one of the most, if not THE most, exhilarating and adrenaline inducing things I have ever done! Given my fear of heights, I thought it was going to be miserable. It was difficult dangling my feet out of the aircraft at 18,000 ft., but I'm so glad I pushed through that. And there was a moment after we had left the plane where I thought to myself "what in the world have I just done?" But that thought was replaced almost instantly by a total rush of excitement, and by the awe and splendor of looking at the ground far below and the beautiful horizons! The free fall was my favorite part, but I enjoyed the entire drop to the ground. When the chute opened, it felt like we were being pulled rapidly upward. The kraken let me steer the parachute a bit, so I got a sense of how it felt. That was pretty fun. I never thought I would say this, but I would do this jump again in a heartbeat! I am definitely going to do it again someday, hopefully sooner than later. I may actually take a class so that I can do solo jumps. I loved it that much! And I think it really helped with my fear of heights, because I'm no longer dreading things like going up and tall buildings, or going up in a hot air balloon. I would highly recommend this experience, especially jumping with Silicon Valley skydiving! Everyone was professional and friendly, and were all very excited about what they were doing. I will definitely be back! (Pic is me and The Kraken just after leaving the plane at 18,000 ft)

    SiliconValley Skydiving!!Do It Do It Do It!!! I did this on Saturday, June 17, 2023… BEST …. This is a great place to skydive. Crew is knowledgeable and safety is number one. Close to SF… I will be back to do this again… ! This was the best experience of my Life. I decide to cross it off my bucket list. It was life changing at 18k jump. It was one of the most exhilarating feelings ever, hands down. To be free falling from 18 feet at 120 mph gave me the most pleasurable feeling within myself. Being free and seeing the beauty of the Bay Area from that high up was magical and magnificent. Kudos to my instructor, Robson Papuan was amazing. He was very good took his time explained what I was to do. We reviewed and practiced. I was not afraid, following his direction. Bravo Rob we even samba in the sky. Just loved it. Obrigado por me ajudar a tornado meu paraquedismo tao memorable. Viva o paraquedismo nos ceusda BayArea..

    First of all, the location is pretty straightforward and if you follow Google Maps, you've nothing to worry about. Just remember to bring some snacks and water together with you, in case there's a long waiting time. There's a public restroom prepared with an allocated sitting area. Nothing fancy, but modest enough. The whole process took me about 1.75 hours from land to sky, which is neat for me as their website mentioned an expected required time of 3 hours. Don't forget to bring physical cash if you want to save on some cash. It'll be an extended hefty price if you don't find the experience worth it. *Ranting: My tandem instructor (For the sake of his image), Ki was a little too passive. He is probably one of the most experienced instructors with (1000+ of jumps) but he is just too ignorant towards customers'requests. All I ask is to teach me something that I can bring home as a memory, but it was rejected with the word " Just trust me, and you will be fine, no need to ask more questions". Paraphrased. Well, I initially did trust but it gradually depreciated. Stop constantly demand your customers to place their life on you. My advice: Be more responsive and show some care for your customers paying $497 (Without tips) for this experience - That's including 18,000 feet, all the possible video & camera options. Other staff members were really friendly and polite, just you ruining a good jump. There's more to it, but I would not say more. Can't you just spare a minute explaining what's happening? 😔 Awful start for me, but I went with him anyway because I did not want to stir anything up. Peeps, know what's the worst part? Most (70%) of the videos and images captured would have his face and body inside. So, if you're in my case, request for a switch prior to boarding the plane. *Returning back Pay attention to your instructors' vague briefing because you do not want to be clueless in the middle of the sky. That's all that you can have. I jumped in November and if you did 18,000ft, wear thick folks! Because it's no joke up there. Customers are the only people without a helmet except for safety goggles, meaning to say, bring your neckwear or something to cover your face. I know, you would not be photogenic, but better comfy than suffering during free falling. There's no jumpsuit available even if you want to rent one. Make sure to bring your own pair of thermal gloves for extra warmth. This is provided but I would rather use my own. This is important, search for "Equalize your ears", nothing was mentioned in the briefing but fortunately for me, my underwater diving knowledge helped this time. Last but not least, check your breath, otherwise a faint odor would present coming from your back. A silent gas would haunt you. And yes if you do tandem, you would be so close to your instructors thigh that you can feel the emitted heat. Best of luck people, it's not the jump that I feared, it's the fear that arises from a diluted once in a lifetime opportunity due to human interactions.

    I had an exhilarating experience doing my first skydive with Silicon Valley Skydiving! It truly was one of the most adventurous moments of my life. The team at SVS ensured we had an incredibly fun dive, and their commitment to safety and enthusiasm made the whole experience unforgettable. First-timers can go with confidence, as the friendly instructors and well-organized process put any nerves at ease. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an adrenaline-pumping adventure!

    What an amazing experience! From start to finish, everyone was kind, courteous, and professional. Tracy was fantastic at the front counter, and the on-site crews were all happy to greet us, answer any questions, and ensure the experience was top notch. My friend and I each did tandem dives, and my instructor was “Goose” (Gustavo) from Brazil. Great guy, lots of enthusiasm, always kept me in the loop, and allowed me to feel safe and comfortable throughout the process. This was my second time skydiving, and yet it was still difficult to shake the butterflies. I think if I could offer help to anyone who’s nervous, I’d say just trust the process and live for the moment. You won’t regret it.

    The most amazing experience of my whole life! The staff were all beyond awesome and made the entire experience just absolutely amazing!

    We had twenty folks (a college rugby team plus two coaches) -- first time sky diving for everyone. The tandem instructors were detailed and caring and patient (and very competent!). The company handled our numbers easily. Amazing experience.
