We are proud to offer you the ‘World’s Highest Tandem Skydiving Experience from 18,000 feet’. With a ‘Go-Big-or-Go-Home’ record 90 seconds of adrenaline packed free-fall, from MSL, and with this twin-engine bad-ass King Air, we skydive higher and longer than any other skydiving center.

The good, very friendly people, good enviorment and a great view of the bay.

The Bad, very small packing area, the Otter was down for repairs so the only other plane running was the Cessna that had a broken door, took a little long to get manifested and a little long to get up to altitude.

The ugly, bad landing area, located far from the hanger. A van picks you from the landing area and takes you back to the hanger but waiting for everyone to get down and get in the van is a little time consuming. The worst thing though is the landing area itself, kind of bowl shaped and far too many potholes.

I did enjoy it over all though.

I did my AFF 1 with a friend at SMB. In the air, everything was great. The instructors were clueful and the superotter got you to 15k quickly.

On the ground SMB was a disaster. They cancelled our first AFF jump after taking our money because they decided they could make more on tandems at another location. They made it very clear that AFFs were their last priority. They also made it clear that we weren't getting our money back. The girl running the phones was annoyed at our request to call us later in the day to see if we could get a jump in. She didn't call. In fact the 3 separate times that SMB promised to call for updates, they never called once. When we called them their phone attitude was terse, unprofessional, and disinterested. You get the feeling that they'd really enjoy their work if it weren't for all the damned customers. I won't be going back anytime soon.

I showed up last sunday just because I wanted to make my first jumps after moving to the US from Europe. I am not a long time jumper, and I really apreciated when the DZO took care of the safety briefing and followed my first landing.
By the second load I had already befriended with other fellow jumpers and I was in for a 2 way. I had a lot of fun. Recommended.

It was my first time doing a tandem skydive, and I loved it. They made me so comfortable there that I wasn't nervous at all, which made the whole experience more enjoyable and everything run smoothly. The view is incredible, it's right next to the Monterey Bay coast, unlike other dropzones in California that aren't near any coast at all. Definately check this place out!

Super Otter takes you fast to 15,000 feet AGL standard altitude. The view of the bay is incredible. Cool people. Was a little windy when I was there, but they said it was unusal. Don't land off - too many McNastys.

I did my level 1 at Monterey bay. Considering this was my first jump ever, was a lil nervous with excitement. The guys at SMB are really cool and full of little tips and advice (that matter a lot up there), this was apart from the level 1 course. The video and the pictures turned out to be super as well. Well i havent jumped at other places, but i would still put my money on this place have one of the best views. see for urselves

I experienced my first ever tandem skydive through Skydive Monterey Bay. Special props to Sabastian, my tandem master, and Paul, my camera man. The people at Skydive Monterey Bay are friendly, knowledgeable and make the entire experience exciting and fun. It was by far the best thing I've EVER DONE and now I think I'm hooked. The setting is breathtaking with Monterey Bay within arms reach.

I would definitely recommend this place to EVERYONE! And I'm ready to do it again!!
