Skydive Monterey Bay Inc. provides great facilities for customers, aircraft operations, maintenance, and storage. Knowing how important it is to our customer's enjoyment, we have a convenient grass and dirt landing area on the airport. This landing area is walking distance from the manifest and packing areas. We do provide convenient shuttle services (just a short 3 minute ride!) to control spectators in the aviation operations areas. There are no hazards in or around the landing area, which helps to make Skydive Monterey Bay Inc. enjoyable and a very safe place to learn skydiving.
