Hey everyone! I wanted to share my experience with the Lodi Skydiving Center in Northern California. I’ll keep it as honest and unbiased as possible. I completed my AFF course back in 2022. After moving to Northern California, I started looking for a skydiving center with skilled instructors, fair pricing, and solid reviews. Out of all the options I found, Lodi stood out as the best choice. Once I got to know the staff, I quickly realized they were true professionals who really know what they’re doing. I felt confident trusting them with my training—and even more importantly, with the life of my wife. She did a tandem jump with an instructor named Yuri, and the experience was incredible. Everything went smoothly, and she walked away with unforgettable memories. Since then, I’ve continued skydiving at Lodi from time to time, and I absolutely recommend this place to anyone considering a jump. You’ll be in good hands. Plus, if you opt for video footage of your skydive, they’ll have it ready for you within 20–30 minutes after you land. Pretty awesome. Now, I also want to address the one-star reviews. Yes, the incident involving Tyler did happen, and my heart goes out to him and his family. But I think it’s important to remember that risk is part of many things in life. There’s no guarantee that this couldn’t have happened somewhere else. In 2024 alone, over 44,000 people died in car accidents in the U.S.—yet no one’s boycotting cars or suing car manufacturers for every death. To me, some of these reviews seem emotionally driven or influenced by outside interests. That’s just my honest opinion. Bottom line: if you're looking for an unforgettable skydiving experience with a professional and experienced team—check out Lodi Skydiving Center. Come see for yourself!
