# GoJump Oceanside: Skydiving with Coastal Views in California

GoJump Oceanside operates from Oceanside Municipal Airport (OKB) in Oceanside, California, just 38 miles north of San Diego. The dropzone specializes in tandem skydiving at 14,000 feet, offering jumpers 15 minutes of epic coastal flight with a 16,000-foot oceanview exit. This scenic profile—combining a relatively brief but visually dramatic freefall with iconic Pacific vistas—defines the GoJump Oceanside experience.

The dropzone uses a Cessna 208B Caravan for jumps, a single-engine aircraft known for reliability and smooth climb. GoJump Oceanside explicitly welcomes sports skydivers with a current USPA B Licence (or foreign equivalent with temporary USPA membership), opening the drop zone to experienced jumpers beyond tandem students.

The operation emphasizes video documentation as a core service. Beyond the standard tandem jump, GoJump Oceanside offers multiple video packages: the Instructor Cam perspective ($98), capturing freefall and landing footage; the Extra Flyer perspective ($178), filmed by an accompanying videographer for documentary-style panoramic views; and the Gold Deluxe package ($228), which combines freefall video from the tandem master's wrist cam with smooth-landing footage and professional panoramic video. These tiered options let jumpers customize how much of their jump they want professionally documented.

The facility provides a full tandem experience: ground preparation, climb to altitude, the jump itself with parachute ride and landing, all for $199. Located just off the runway at Oceanside airport in San Diego County, the dropzone positions itself for coastal accessibility and marine layer conditions typical of Southern California.

GoJump Oceanside's landing zone is on open ground near the airport, a stark contrast to inland dropzones; the approach emphasizes the oceanview flight and North Shore scenery visible from altitude. The 4.9-star Google rating (7,000+ reviews) reflects consistent customer satisfaction across tandem jumps and video services.

The dropzone operates during daylight hours (7am–11pm PST noted in footer contact details) and maintains a retail shop for gear and merchandise. As a USPA-affiliated member group, GoJump Oceanside serves both first-time tandem jumpers and licensed skydivers seeking a proven, coastal California jump experience with video options unavailable at many dropzones.
