Do I need any prior experience to join or go on a Jump Day?

No prior experience is needed. Jump Days pair participants with an expert diver, and the club's stated goal is to make skydiving as accessible as possible to all UC Berkeley community members.

Can I get an actual skydiving license through this club?

Yes. Beyond tandem Jump Days, members can pursue a solo skydiving license and, once licensed, have the opportunity to help teach others in the Cal community.

What is a Jump Day like?

Jump Days give members the chance to experience freefall paired with a calm parachute glide down, all alongside an expert diver. It is the club's primary introductory skydiving experience.
