This place is solid for diving instruction and if you want to become an open water certified diver in Georgia. 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! read more

I did my Open Water + Nitrox training with Alan, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better instructor. 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. read more

I just completed my Certification Dives for my Open Water SCUBA Certification. After I retired, my sister who is a certified diver, and I started talking about doing some diving together. After some calls I decided to try Dive Educators because they were more accommodating than the local dive shop. So glad I did! Josh was great on the phone, Doug allowed me time to get my swimming skills up to par, Rick was patient and yet success oriented trainer, and the mandatory on-line training was superior. All of my training was focused, encouraging and supportive, with the goal always on my being able to understand and demonstrate my knowledge and skills. These are good people and professional divers. I cannot say enough good things about them! read more

My son's Scout Troop got certified with Diver Doug and company last summer, in preparation for a trip to Sea Base in the Florida Keys. The dive masters at Sea Base were extremely impressed with the skills our Troop had, which is a huge testament to Dive Educators. The rest of our family just finished certification with DE last weekend. Diver Doug puts the safety of his students at the forefront, with a high instructor to student ratio and a wealth of experience. Highly recommend! read more

I searched for a good bit for a place to start my diving venture. For pleasure and Buisness. After a thorough search I came across Dive Educators. Several references as well. Absolutely could not be any more happier with my experience! Equipped me with everything that I needed and adjusted accordingly to my intentions of use. Doug and his entire staff have been nothing shy of awesome! Christian "Frenchy" has been awesome as well! Worked with me through one of the hardest things I've ever overcame. I am honored and privileged to be a part of this group and future family. Nothing but the highest recommendations from me!! Sincerely Tony Cato Cato Marine Repair. read more

Very good job!!! Training online was great to do before class Friday night. Plenty of qualified staff to offer enough attention to each student. The owner is organized and has put together a great team. They are fun yet no nonsense! Great Facility! The pool was warm! Great experience for my 12 year old to get his introduction into the sport. And my refresher was great too! We are looking forward to our review with Frenchie (one of the great instructors) before our open water dive at the Vortex Springs in a couple weeks. Great Job!!!! read more

Great place to learn scuba. They will let you try it out in their pool for free so you can see if breathing underwater is for you. I got my open water certification recently and had a great time. Doug is an excellent instructor. I will definitely be going back for advanced certification. read more

You can buy scuba equipment anywhere, and you can learn to dive at many different shops in GA. I've been to just about all of the dive shops in this state.. That being said: What makes Dive Educators different is the staff and people they surround themselves with. I can't overstate the great family environment this place has going for them. I've been diving for almost 10 years now and I've never had as much fun diving as I have with Dive Educators. I'll be taking some advanced courses with them in the future, mainly because of their professionalism, no pressure sales, laid back and safe approach to diving. Dive Educators actually cares about their customers, give them a visit and you'll see what I mean! read more

My son recently worked on his scuba certification here and my husband and I did a scuba refresher course since it has been so long since we have been diving. What a fantastic experience!!! Our instructor, Doug , was excellent at demonstrating things and providing helpful feedback as needed. I was impressed at how thorough Doug was at making sure my son has a good grasp on the skills he needs as well as giving us all tips. We also purchased some equipment at the shop and I thought the prices we very fair and the service was fantastic. I highly recommend Dive Educators!!! read more

Dive Educators is my go to referral place for anyone that is interested in scuba certification. Diver Doug runs a tight ship with a focus on safe and proficient diving. Very Scout friendly. My wife, oldest son and I went through the Open Water course last year. I am bringing another son to get certified before a trip at the end of the year and will probably look into getting Advanced Open Water at the same time. read more
