What Makes The Ocean City Skydiving Center So Special?
Location: Located at the Ocean City Airport, we're five minutes from the beach, and just across the channel from Assateague, with a spectacular view of the ocean, the shore, the ponies, and the sunbathers.
Performance: You’ll be skydiving with Chief Instructor Josh Dolan, a seventeen year veteran in the sport with over 10,000 skydives and his select full time staff of only appropriately rated Instructors. We are the only drop zone in Maryland who has pledged to abide by the Basic Safety Requirements as dictated by the United States Parachute Association. At Ocean City, we take your first skydive seriously, making it our full time profession and passion. It shows with our ONE HUNDRED PERCENT SAFETY RECORD.
Customer Service: At other skydive centers, students are required to arrive in the morning to wait in line to jump, often times milling around a farmers field for eight hours or longer waiting for their skydive. At the Ocean City Skydiving Center, you are reserved a specific time slot. You simply arrive on time, sign in, train and skydive with ample time left to enjoy the remainder of your day.
Equipment: It’s new, it’s clean, and it’s state of the art. We invest in brand new tandem parachute systems every year! This gives us more reliable performance, longer parachute rides, and softer landings. All equipment surpasses the safety standards of the US Parachute Association and the Parachute Industry Association. Our tandem parachute systems are the most technologically advanced systems in the world and we’re proud to offer them.
Airplanes: Ocean City Skydiving utilizes two Cessna 182 jump aircraft, capable of carrying skydivers to over 12,000 feet in about 15 minutes. We adhere to FAA standards for aircraft operations and maintenance schedules. An FAA safety official routinely inspects our facility, aircraft and parachutes.
