Cost to Become Skydive Certified

With skydiving being one of my life goals I decided to do a little research. It is not going to be cheap to become certified, but is doable. There are a few places in Utah to go skydiving. They are Ogden, Erda, Moab, and Zion.

Below I made a comparison between the different skydive locations in Utah. The distance is from my house in Spanish Fork to the location. The cost for the jumps came from their websites and might not be up to date.

OGDEN ERDA MOAB ZION

Distance 88.3 miles 81.8 miles 185 miles 240 miles

Jump I $189 $189 $215 $205

Jump II $180 $189 $215 $205

Jump III $225 $249 $250 $280

Jump IV $175 $160 $195 $205

Jump V $175 $160 $195 $205

Jump VI $175 $160 $195 $205

Jump VII $175 $160 $195 $205

Total $1294 $1267 $1460 $1510

After your first seven jumps, it gets a lot cheaper to jump. It takes a total of 25 jumps to become certified. It costs around $25 for each jump if you have your own gear. It costs around $50 for each jump if you don't have your own gear. The cost for your own gear is around $2,400.

There is a group discount sometimes if 4 or 5 people go together. If anyone is interested in joining me for a jump or even wants to get certified with me, let me know. It is always good to save money.
