Welcome to Skydive Galveston! The premier skydiving operation with actual beach landings. Located just south of Houston Texas on Galveston Island on 9020 Stewart Road. We have the best views while climbing to altitude for your skydive. On clear days we can see right into downtown Houston. We’ll fly right above Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier, and see for miles up and down the beautiful Texas Gulf Coastline. For an unforgettable experience, with the best views in the skydiving industry, and the best beach landings book your skydive by clicking here.
And if you’re still on the fence about jumping with us, check out our video and photos below.
Let’s describe the experience of skydiving with us on Galveston Island. We start off by gearing up in an adjustable harness to ensure a safe and secure skydive. Before we head to the airport we’ll advise friends and families about where we’ll be landing on the beach and head to the airport. After reaching the airport we’ll perform our second gear check and head out to the plane and get ready for take-off.
After taking off and beginning to fly up into the sky is just where the actual fun really begins! The views while we climb to altitude are incomparable to any other skydiving operation. The coastline will immediately draw your attention and give you a whole new appreciation for the island. Right before our third final gear check downtown Houston and miles of coastline will be in view on clear days. But falling through the clear sky with clouds nearby is even more enjoyable. On jump run, we carefully climb out of the airplane onto the step and give a count down to exit.
Ready, Steady, Spaghetti! And we let go of the airplane and begin to freefall through the sky. Reaching speeds of 120 miles per hour. You’ll immediately notice that there’s nothing within a mile of you in any direction, completely free. The rush, the wind, and the sensory overload are just something that can only be experienced personally, and words will always fail to do it justice. You’re gonna want video and photos of this part.
When we reach just about a mile above the surface of the beach we deploy the parachute into hurricane-strength winds. Gently slowing down to a speed of just 30 miles per hour and the experience becomes peaceful. The wind during freefall is very loud whereas in contrast flying under the parachute is calming and relaxing. We can talk easily to each other. We can actually let you fly the parachute briefly. And after about 2-3 minutes of gliding through the sky, we land on the beach, right in front of your family and friends.
