Skydive in Santa Barbara area?/Skydivers at UCSB?

[vegardin 0]

Hi! I just moved to California from Norway to study at UCSB, and I'm wondering which DZ near by to go skydive and how to get there!?

I'm also in search for a UCSB student currently in the sport to show me the ropes and maybe carpool to the nearest DZ.
thanks.

Skydive Santa Barbara is about 45 mins N of UCSB area, in city of Lompoc. We get quite a few UCSB students who come here for tandem dives. We fly a PAC 750 right now, sometimes a Cessna 206... mainly depends on how many people are jumping.

For directions or more info, check out our web page:

Thanks for the reply!

I guess I'm in need of my own car.. Everything here is so easy to access, if you have a car! Or would it be possible to take a bus or something?

Still in search for some experienced jumpers from UCSB(not just tandem), any of those around??

I'm looking forward to joining you guys soon! PAC is cool

There is a solid group of jumpers that live in SB... at least 1 or 2 are UCSB students...

I'll let them know you are posting next time they come up to jump.
