I will never go back and I don't recommend them. Unfortunately they are the only game in Athens.

Jerry and VJ, the owners of Fanta-Sea Divers, have been wonderful guides to the world of diving. I…read morecalled and talked to Jerry about getting my open water diver certification and he patiently walked me through the process. Not only was he polite and helpful, but there were no hidden costs, unlike other dive shops I spoke to previously. Throughout my certification process Jerry and VJ were exceptionally willing to accommodate my hectic schedule, they were thorough teachers making sure I not only knew the answers to their questions but also why, and I always felt safe in the water with them. Once it came time to get my basic gear, Jerry and VJ both went out of their way to let me try out some of their gear to make sure I got what I wanted. They even special ordered my gear in my preferred color. Besides being professional and helpful, Jerry and VJ are also very personable, fun, and have great dive stories! They made my dive experience a lot of fun. I will certainly continue on to my advanced certification with them as well as go to them for any future gear purchases or advice. I am so glad I decided to get certified with a smaller dive shop. I got a lot of 1 on 1 instruction because there was only 1 other person in my class. You won't get that at one of the larger dive shops in the area. Dive Fanata-Sea!

Doug the instructor guided and helped my 14 year old son get his open water certification after my son discovered scuba diving while we were on vacation in Cozumel and dove there for the first time. Caleb said his instruction was thorough and smooth and he enjoyed the entire process of classroom and pool dives. Doug and Dive Educators helped us complete the certification by allowing my son to do his 4 open water dives while on vacation in Aruba which was very convenient for our needs. We are excited because now my son can dive with me whenever we travel and plan on doing the scuba experience at Georgia aquarium. Much thanks to Doug and Dive Educators for helping my son achieve Open Water certification! 5 solid Stars and two thumbs up!

I was super nervous starting out, but he was patient, never rushed anything, and even took the time to show extra tips that helped a lot once I got out of the pool. It felt more like learning from a friend than a strict instructor. I did my OW and AOW dives with Howard, and he was great as well. During my OW weekend, I was still struggling a bit with buoyancy, and he didn't have to, but he even did an extra dive with me to work on PPB just so I could feel more confident. My first time in the ocean was with him too, and he always took the time to teach beyond the bare minimum. Shoutout to Stefan and James, who were also on some of my dives -- super helpful with little tips along the way. I started off nervous about diving and ended up with a new hobby and some new dive buddies. Highly recommend Dive Educators -- they genuinely care.
