Skydiving
Whether you’re an experienced skydiver or looking to cross it off your bucket list for the first time, Moab offers the perfect climate and landscape for skydiving, as well as the most exhilarating way to get a bird’s eye view of the majesty of Arches and Canyonlands, Dead Horse Point, the Colorado and Green Rivers, and more!
Modern equipment and skilled instructors ensure that skydiving is a safe and fun adventure. After a training class, novices can experience the thrill of freefall with a tandem jump, where you’re harnessed to a professional with thousands of jumps under their belt who controls every aspect of the experience.
Tandem pairs board a plane that climbs about two miles above the dive area and then…jump! Divers freefall for 60 seconds, reaching speeds of up to 120 mph, then the parachute opens and treats you to a peaceful, serene five- to seven-minute canopy flight before a perfect landing.
Nearly 500,000 Americans skydive each year, making upwards of three million jumps annually. World wide, there are about 3.1 million skydives each year.
The staff at Skydive Moab is comprised of state and world record holders and are among the most experienced instructors in the industry!
