Independent business operators whose
business is to serve the skydiving
community, will often bring their businesses
to and operate their business at the
Parachute Center, offering their services to
new and experienced skydivers. While the
services offered by independent business
operators vary, they may include tandem
skydiving Instruction, certification
instruction, and instruction relative to the
various disciplines within the sport of
skydiving. Other independent business
operators offer videography, photography and
parachute packing services at the Parachute
Center. |
|
|
The
price of each skydiving experience and
skydiving related service will vary
depending on the services purchased and the
independent business operator providing the
services. In general,
independent business operators typically
charge $100 for a tandem skydive, however
the body weight of a skydiver is a
consideration that may affect the negotiated price. In
general, tandem skydiving may be available
to skydivers with a body weight of up to 300
lbs., however, an additional charge of $1.00
per pound will be charged over the body
weight of 200 pounds. In general, independent business
operators typically charge $50 to $75 for videography and photography packages,
depending upon the package selected and
price negotiated. Skydivers are to negotiate
rates for services directly with the
independent business operators of their
choice. |

skydivers must be 18 years of age to

years old may skydive with a parent or legal
guardian present. We suggest that skydivers

tennis shoes. |

located on the west side of Hwy. 99 on the south side of the Airport. Follow the
Parachute signs and we will be located on the right side.
If you are traveling north on I-5 take Hwy 4 east in
Stockton to Highway 99. The Parachute Center is located
north of Stockton and Lodi. Exit at Peltier Road, then turn
right at the stop sign. Take another right at the next stop
sign which will take you over the freeway you were just on.
You are now on the the west side of the
freeway.
Take the next immediate right as soon as you cross the
