Absolute blast! It’s fun watching the flyers and instructors and even more fun being a flyer. This was a birthday present for my 63rd birthday. If you are looking for a unique and fun gift this is it!

Questions & Answers

How much does it cost to skydive

Tricia Tricia | Aug 18, 2018
Timothy Kerrigan | Aug 18, 2018

In the neighborhood of $80 for one hour. Physically they give you some instruction, you rent the little suit and helmet and they fly you I think two times for a couple of minutes each time all of that for about $80. If you buy monthly sessions of course there's a discount built into it, there are different programs.

How long is the time you spend in the air?

David Rivas | Aug 18, 2018
Jo Duffy | Aug 18, 2018

However much you pay for. We signed up for two two-minute flights and that was a good start. My shoulders weren't sore the next day but I could feel them. I thought that was a good amount of time to practice balancing and maintaining air resistance.

How much does iFLY indoor skydiving cost?

iFLY Indoor Skydiving - San Diego Oceanside | Aug 17, 2021

What is indoor skydiving?

iFLY Indoor Skydiving - San Diego Oceanside | Aug 17, 2021
iFLY Indoor Skydiving - San Diego Oceanside | Aug 17, 2021

Competitive indoor skydiving, also known as Bodyflight, shares many of the disciplines of competitive skydiving, such as formation skydiving and freestyle skydiving. Generally, athletes compete to successfully complete a certain number of maneuvers in an allotted amount of time. Athletes can compete as teams, working to complete maneuvers and grips, or as individuals. Each performance is recorded and judged by a panel of experts. If you’re interested, our instructors can help you improve your flying skills and take you to the next level of indoor skydiving.

What is a wind tunnel?

iFLY Indoor Skydiving - San Diego Oceanside | Aug 17, 2021
iFLY Indoor Skydiving - San Diego Oceanside | Aug 17, 2021

Very simply, a wind tunnel is a machine that moves a lot of air. A vertical wind tunnel, which is what we use at iFLY, moves air in a vertical column at speeds high enough to keep a person safely floating.

How does it work?

iFLY Indoor Skydiving - San Diego Oceanside | Aug 17, 2021
iFLY Indoor Skydiving - San Diego Oceanside | Aug 17, 2021

A vertical wind tunnel has fans at the top of the building to draw air through the flight chamber and then push it back down the sides through Return Air Towers. That leads to an inlet contractor that compresses & speeds up the air before it reenters the flight chamber. The result: a smooth column of air that enables you to fly.

Is it hard to breathe in the wind tunnel?

iFLY Indoor Skydiving - San Diego Oceanside | Aug 17, 2021
iFLY Indoor Skydiving - San Diego Oceanside | Aug 17, 2021

Not at all! It is the same as if you stick your head out a car window while driving. All you feel is the wind in your face. Just breathe normally, either through your mouth or your nose.

Can I reschedule or cancel my flight reservation or Voucher/Gift Card?

iFLY Indoor Skydiving - San Diego Oceanside | Aug 17, 2021
iFLY Indoor Skydiving - San Diego Oceanside | Aug 17, 2021

Flight reservations can be rescheduled or cancelled with at least a 48 hour notice. Large groups (6 or more), events, camps, skydiver/experienced flyer reservations require a notice of 7 days to reschedule or refund. Gift cards and vouchers are not refundable except as required by law.

How do I access my photographs?

iFLY Indoor Skydiving - San Diego Oceanside | Aug 17, 2021
iFLY Indoor Skydiving - San Diego Oceanside | Aug 17, 2021

During your flight session the driver of our wind tunnel will be taking snaps of you mid-flight. Don't forget to smile! All photos can be viewed immediately after your flights and they’re available to purchase in a number of formats (digital downloads, 6 x 8 prints and more). You can also access your purchased photos online for up to 3 months following your flights. Please note, due to flyer's movements we cannot guarantee the perfect photo but we'll try our very best. You can also share your photos for free on Facebook.

What is included with my flight?
