In Atlanta anything with-in a two or three hour drive can be considered a local dive. Most local diving takes place in lakes and quarries. While our local diving is not the type of diving you will see on the cover of a Caribbean travel brochure, it does provide a great opportunity to acquire the necessary diving skills to become a proficient diver. The principal is very similar to taking flying lessons where there are a pre-determined number of flight hours required prior to making your first solo flight. Diving is no different.  The more you do it, the more comfortable and proficient a diver you become.

Local Diving Options Include:
Lake Jocassee - Two and a half hours from Atlanta
Dive Land Quarry - Two Hours from Atlanta
Blue Water Quarry - Two and a half hours from Atlanta

We frequent all of these these sites on a regular basis and you are welcome to join us any time we are making the trip. Our Dive Masters are available for local orientation dives on any of these trips and can show you the appropriate techniques for these dive sites. Maps and additional information for all of the above sites are available at the shop free of charge. If you have an interest in diving one the above local sites feel free to stop by the shop and we can provide you with all of the appropriate information.
