Sebastian has the best view you could ever hope for from altitude. As if that's not enough by itself, the staff are all super friendly and knowledgeable, always willing to help out and hang out after hours. I love the instructors here! The zoo bar and tiki bar are amazing! Hot food available all day, along with a variety of beer, and a huge outdoor deck with tons of seating and a spectacular view of the landing area. The Drop Shop has a large variety of items for sale. Hardly any waiting time between loads. Large landing area that's very easy to find from the air. Clean bathrooms with showers, nice big camping area, and simply amazing after hours parties! I found it very easy to talk to people, and fit right in with everybody! There were no "cliques" and I found everybody to be quite nice and willing to talk to and help out everybody. The packing area is quite sufficient. I would recommend this DZ to any and everyone, and am proud to call it my home DZ!

Biggest turn off was the jump staff who it seemed could care less about new jumpers. Watched many tandem jumpers unattended when they should have been looked after. Sad that one item like that can leave a bad vibe. I didn't require hand holding so that was just an observation. The place visually has great texture and feel to it. The bar being there is cool. Manifesters were very nice...esp Amanda. Landing area is OK but a little small for newer jumpers who might find off DZ landings hazardous. Views of the Ocean are great. Facilities are plenty good enough (perhaps dated though) with showers, place to park motor home etc. Main building too small on the weekends but perfect for the week. Lots of small airplane traffic but didn't notice any that got in the way. A diverse group of visitors makes for good conversations if you want to chat.

Skydive Sebastian is a very friendly DZ. We arrived on a Sunday morning to do some team training,a quick doc's check and we were on the next load.
We spent the last 3 weeks on and off at Sebastian and we have been made to feel very welcome by the staff and other jumpers. I have seen no local clique, after finishing team jumping for the day we were invited on lots of jumps by the locals. Having jumped at Eloy and been made to feel less than welcome, it was the opposite feeling here.
The only downside to Sebastian is it can be quite during the week, i would recommend ringing first to see if they have any tandems booked in. But overall an AWESOME DZ!!!

An experienced freeflyer's dream DZ

Absolutely the most incredible scenery you will probably ever see while jumping, unless you're just not into the beach and the ocean. Most of the people have a rather pleasing disposition, but if you're a low-time freeflyer, you can forget about getting invited on anything organized. You tend to feel very much like an outsider, unless you're in their clique, which is a real shame. None of the experienced freeflyers there are really willing to take the time and jump with an out-of-towner and teach you something, so if your freefly skills are up to speed, I guess this place is for you. Bottom line, have a couple of thousand jumps under your belt before expecting to feel comfortable there.

Excellent DZ - beautiful view, huge landing area

Being the first DZ I visited outside my home DZ, I loved this place. The ride upto altitude is awesome and so is the view in freefall and under canopy. My initial fear of landing on the ocean proved to me unfounded as the ocean is something like 3-4 miles away. The outs include a golf course but it really is hard to miss such a huge landing area unless you had a really bad spot. Staff were friendly and courteous and rental suits / helmets are excellent too. The packing area can get a bit cramped especially during a busy boogie but other positives balance out. They have team rooms for rental and the camping area is plenty too. The fun jumpers are really outgoing and there is a lot of fun stuff to do in the vicinity. Recommend this place to anyone.
