Georgia Dive Academy

Georgia Dive Academy Georgia Dive Academy is the Atlanta area's premier scuba school dedicated to providing VIP service and the highest level of safety in scuba instruction. Days?

Unlike many schools which typically utilize large class sizes, Georgia Dive Academy takes a different approach. Our philosophy is large class sizes lead to a lack of personal attention and inadequate instruction; this then leads to divers who are not properly trained, which can be dangerous. Georgia Dive Academy ALWAYS provides either private or semi private classes where you get the personal attention that you deserve. If we don't feel you are comfortable enough with your skills to dive safely, we keep working with you until you are ready! If that means we need to let you have an extra day of class, then that is exactly what we do. There is no rush when it comes to making sure you are properly prepared. Georgia Dive Academy is strictly an instruction based school and that is our sole focus. We don't try to upsell you on equipment, because we are not a retail shop; we don't sell gear! We focus solely on delivering the best and safest instruction without any pressure to buy equipment. We do however have relationships with other retail shops to provide our students with the very best prices on any rental equipment you will need for your classes. Interested in buying your own gear? We are also happy to help counsel you as to what gear is best for your needs while providing you with significant discounts on most equipment from any of the retail shops we work with who are happy to provide special pricing to our students. Another advantage of choosing Georgia Dive Academy is our flexible schedule. While most schools have their courses scheduled in advance, we take the opposite approach: What time works best for you? Evenings? Weekends? Weekdays? We schedule classes around you! While most dive shops charge extra for custom scheduling, we are happy to do it at no extra charge. With this private or semi-private VIP treatment approach, we offer an unrivaled level of personalized attention and flexibility that other schools can't match. Class schedules are tailored to your needs, ensuring that you can learn at your own pace. At Georgia Dive Academy, we are committed to providing exceptional scuba diving education and creating a safe and enjoyable learning environment for all our students. Our number one goal is to make sure that you are well prepared to safely enjoy this wonderful activity for the rest of your life.

More from the PADI Course Director Training Course! Things are going amazingly well and it’s looking good as far as becoming a Course Director soon. The schedule is non stop though and that is starting to take a toll. One of the best experience of my life and working with some of the greatest people, both professionally and personally.

Please join us in congratulating the Francois Watkins family on their big weekend! They earned Open Water, Nitrox, Peak Performance Buoyancy, Dive Against Debris, and PADI AWARE certifications! It was great watching them improve their skills with each dive, but also, during their PADI AWARE class, they shared some great stories as well as ideas about how they can help preserve our coral reefs and protect our marine environment. They will serve the ocean well as new PADI Torchbearers and are excited about their upcoming trip to Costa Rica . We wish them well in their future dive adventures and are very proud to have them as members of the Georgia Dive Academy family! Congratulations!!!

A teenage girl in Hawaii just found something scientists never noticed 🍄. Vera Wang, a senior at Kaiser High School, discovered that fungi living naturally on coconut husks can break down plastic and sunscreen. Working in scientist Anthony Amend’s lab at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, she found that tannins inside the coconut fibers actually encourage these powerful fungi to grow. Her research even revealed species that do not match anything in the world’s largest gene database, meaning she may have found life forms never recorded before.

This matters because plastic pollution and chemical runoff from sunscreen are damaging oceans every single day 🌊. A high schooler proving that nature already holds solutions is genuinely moving, and it reminds us how much power curiosity can have. Her work earned top honors at the 2026 Hawaii State Science and Engineering Fair and a spot at the International Science and Engineering Fair. Sometimes the biggest discoveries start with someone simply asking why 🔬.
