About Skydive Phoenix
Skydive Phoenix is Arizona's most established tandem skydiving centre, with over 23 years of operation and a perfect safety record serving thrill-seekers from Scottsdale, Phoenix, and Tucson. Located at a dedicated drop zone in Maricopa — roughly an hour south of central Scottsdale — the facility offers the wide-open skies and year-round clear weather that make Arizona one of the best places in the world to jump out of an aeroplane for the first time.
Their flagship experience is the tandem skydive from 12,500 or 18,000 feet, where you are harnessed to a USPA-certified instructor and freefall at speeds exceeding 120 miles per hour before a smooth parachute canopy ride back to earth. The 18,000-foot jump adds supplemental oxygen and an extended freefall time of over a minute — one of the highest tandem jumps available in the country. Video and photo packages capture every moment, from the nervous grin at the door to the adrenaline-fuelled landing. Walk-in and same-day bookings are welcome, weather permitting.
What sets Skydive Phoenix apart is the calibre of their instructors and the consistency of the Arizona flying conditions. Every tandem master holds advanced USPA ratings and has logged thousands of jumps, and the drop zone's desert location delivers clear skies and calm winds on the vast majority of days. Whether you are checking off a bucket list item, celebrating a milestone, or simply craving an unmatched adrenaline rush, Skydive Phoenix delivers an experience that visitors rate as one of the highlights of their Arizona trip.
