About-Us

What are we?

SSJV offers you a full-skydiving experience. If you want to taste the thrill of a tandem skydive or want to cross skydiving off your bucket list of things to do, we can make your first skydive your best experience ever. We cater to fun jumpers, taking you to 13,000 feet in less than ten minutes in our King Air A-90.

  • Our airplanes are a Beechcraft King Air capable of hauling 12 jumpers to altitude and a Cessna 182 for smaller loads of 3 – 4 jumpers.
  • Our staff is made up of certified, experienced tandem and Accelerated Free Fall (AFF) instructors to help you get started in the most exciting extreme sport of all.
  • We offer group rates and are especially excited about our “Learn To Skydive For Free” program. Learn all about it by looking at our pricing page.
