Skydiving enthusiasts have long touted Sebastian as one of the world’s premier locations for the sport, thanks to its spectacular views. The thrill of leaping from an airplane is unmatched, and even seasoned skydivers admit to feeling a rush of adrenaline each time they approach the aircraft’s open door.

Despite the natural fear associated with jumping from high altitudes, skydivers describe the experience as exhilarating rather than frightening. “It’s more like riding on air molecules than plummeting to the earth,” one Sebastian skydiver explained. 

We caught up with Juan Diego Grisales, a regular at Skydive Sebastian, who shared his journey in the sport. “I’ve done 96 jumps over two years, and each one still gives me a thrill. It’s an incredible way to rejuvenate before the new week starts,” Grisales told Sebastian Daily.

Grisales acknowledges that the thought of relying solely on a parachute can be daunting for many. However, he encourages those hesitant to try it, emphasizing the empowering feeling that comes post-jump. “Skydiving is much safer than people think. Professionals do it up to 10 times a day, year-round,” he added.

From the moment jumpers take off in Sebastian, they are treated to stunning views of Florida’s coastline that combines the Atlantic Ocean, the St. Sebastian River, and the Indian River Lagoon. Beginners can start with tandem jumps, where they are attached to a certified instructor, providing a safe and exhilarating introduction to the sport. For seasoned skydivers, the center offers various programs and facilities that allow them to hone their skills.

Skydive Sebastian also hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including competitions, festivals, and social gatherings. They recently held an event that shattered the SANSFormation Skydiving Florida record. These events attract skydivers worldwide, creating a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere. The center also offers gear rentals, a rigging service, and a relaxing lounge area. There’s also an on-site cafe, known as the Zoo Bar, offering a variety of food and drink options for jumpers and spectators alike.

On weekends, weather permitting, the skies above Sebastian are dotted with parachutes as skydivers glide toward their landing zone at Sebastian Municipal Airport. Skydive Sebastian, located at 400 Airport Drive West, is renowned for its friendly and professional staff.

Skydive Sebastian is the go-to destination for those interested in experiencing the thrill of skydiving and enjoying the unique beauty of Sebastian from the air. They can be reached at (772) 388-5672 for more information.
