WHY US?
For most people, going skydiving is a significant event in their life, you want to make the best choice. So, why would you and why should you choose Skydive Truckee Tahoe?
We think there are many reasons:
Safety
Safety is a top priority at Skydive Truckee Tahoe. Firstly, our skydiving center is a group member of the United States Parachute Association. (USPA) See uspa.org . The USPA is the governing body for skydiving in the United States and sets out industry standards for safety and all regulations pertaining to skydiving activity. Being a group member, this means that we adhere to all the requirements and regulations set by the USPA in order to keep skydiving safe. We believe this is a very important consideration when choosing a place to skydive.
In accordance with this, all our instructors exceed the requirements set out by the USPA in terms of their skydiving experience and skills.
Experience
The owners and operators of Skydive Truckee Tahoe bring decades of experience in all aspects of competitive, recreational and professional areas of the sport.

We believe that this should instill a high level of confidence in our operation.
