# iSkydive America – Los Angeles: Skydiving with Pacific Coastline Views
iSkydive America – Los Angeles offers tandem skydiving just 45 minutes west of downtown Los Angeles, operating from Camarillo Airport (CMA) in Oxnard, California. Located just one mile from the pristine beaches at Oxnard Shores Airport, the dropzone delivers unparalleled views of Southern California's most distinctive landscape: the Pacific Coastline, mountains, islands, and coastlines all visible during a single jump.
The operation uses a Cessna 182 for its tandem program, providing intimate skydiving experiences with some of the best vistas available on the West Coast. That combination of proximity to the ocean and mountain scenery sets iSkydive America – Los Angeles apart from inland dropzones. Jumpers exit the aircraft and descend directly over the coastal area, landing near the beaches themselves—an experience the dropzone emphasizes as truly exceptional.
iSkydive America – Los Angeles was founded by Luther Kurtz in 2001 at a location in Northern Michigan. After initial success, Kurtz and his team relocated to San Diego to operate year-round, eventually expanding to multiple U.S. locations including Los Angeles, Fort Myers, Atlanta, and Washington, D.C. The Los Angeles location represents part of a nationwide skydiving network built on the founder's original vision of making high-quality tandem skydiving accessible to the public.
The facility caters primarily to tandem skydivers—first-time jumpers and experienced thrill-seekers alike. Training programs focus on tandem instruction, with full-service restaurant and shower facilities available on-site. WiFi access ensures guests can share their experience immediately. The dropzone markets itself as a place where visitors can "come jump with us, we can't wait to show it to you."
According to its stated mission, iSkydive America emphasizes meticulous preparation, friendly hospitality, and a focused commitment to safety. The team describes its approach as dedicated to making every skydive "seamless, safety-focused, and truly exceptional," whether for first-time tandem jumpers or returning customers. The company highlights organized and efficient processes, a supportive workplace culture, and unwavering commitment to safety and regulatory compliance.
With an average Google rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars based on 3,500 reviews, iSkydive America – Los Angeles has built a strong reputation among tandem skydiving customers. The dropzone's location, aircraft, scenic views, and operational philosophy combine to offer a distinctive Southern California skydiving experience—one centered on coastal beauty, professional instruction, and memorable, safe jumps over some of the region's most iconic terrain.
