They have a variety of ongoing advanced classes AND amazing dive trips all around the world that I can't wait to join. This weekend I finished up a 10+ year goal of taking the open water diving certification and I couldn't have picked a better location. I bought a remarkably priced package they offer combining the course and equipment (fins, boots, snorkel, and mask). They also rent out gear for dive trips so you can have what you need without having to buy and dive with equipment you're familiar with. The pool for your class is huge. 1-2 lanes are about 10' deep and about 15 lanes are 4' deep. The instructors will start out in the 4' deep lanes and go over basics underwater so you're super comfortable. Then you'll have ample time in the 10' end so your confidence is built. It's shared with "Swim Atlanta" and conveniently located on the backside with their own shop connected to the large pool area. They are SSI and compatible with thousands of dive shops around the world. They can do "referrals" for your 4 checkout dives through another shop (you'll have to pay the other shop for the dives but you won't have to take the classroom, exam, and pool diving skills) OR you can preferably do your checkout dives with Dive Dive Dive on one of their trips. Enjoy it! You won't regret it.

SO GLAD we took a chance. It's a one-man operation, and he's incredible. His prices are all in, and he really does knock it out in just 2 days with great flexible local dives near the High Springs area. If you have a special request, just call him - he was able to add our NitrOx cert as well on the fly. I was blown away watching this man transition from charismatic comedy, making learning fun but still hitting all the key points, right into suddenly supportive teacher mode when we were in the practical portions and he was helping a student who was struggling, using a disarming compassionate demeanor. At least in our session, class sizes were very small, and he not only equipped us mentally for our scuba expeditions, but he gave us incredible insight and recommendations beyond the certification on what kind of gear to look for, good habits, inside tips for the industry. Just 11/10. He also does have gear available for sale, customized to the diver, which is I assume how he keeps his prices so low, but he wasn't pushy at all and advised us for what we NEEDED not what he sold. I was actively trying to buy gear from him, and he advised me that I might need something special and that also some other websites unrelated to him are having a pretty good sale right now so he chose our equipment and savings over his own revenue. Just couldn't be more impressed. (Also, if you come down here for just the class from out of town, I highly recommend the "getaway" tiny home cabins nearby for lodging. They're clean, super cheap, nice close by, and easy. Including two nights lodging, you could get your scuba cert here for like a thousand or $1,200 cheaper than you can in most major cities.

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.

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.

The environment is welcoming for a little one who is easily stressed. We have Coach John, who I can't say enough positive things about, his patience soars to the sky. My son has had many whining episodes with tears and purely wanting to quit but Coach John never gives up. He has a way with children to make them excited about learning. He has gained my son's trust and always finds a way to make him successful. There is nothing more rewarding as a parent watching my son get out of the water beaming with pride because he accomplished a skill that he thought was unobtainable. I was surprised to read the post on here describing a terrible trip to Crystal River, Florida. We were on the same trip and had a completely opposite experience. We had a memorable and fantastic time. I appreciated the time that Coach John and the owners of Sharkie's prepared us with a well thought out itinerary and for insuring that we had all the equipment necessary. On the day of each activity, I knew exactly where to go and never had to run out to get something we forgot to bring. The particular weekend we visited was the annual Manatee festival so the area was quite busy. I appreciated the block of rooms set aside for us so I didn't have to worry about hotels being full. Coach John was thorough to explain everything to be expected that our son didn't shed a single tear out of fear. His expertise and passion for scuba has made my husband and son excited to participate in the sport. I always say, we are grooming the next Jacques Cousteau. Sharkie's has taught my son valuable life lessons to enjoy and respect the water safely. I can't say enough about this facility, the staff, and the owners. They are such a great part of our community.

I have taken multiple training courses from a number of shops/instructors. Dive Georgia is among…read morethe best I have encountered. First, if you are shopping by price, find another sport. Dive Georgia is not unusually expensive -pretty typical - but you want to avoid shops that have found a way to make the product cheaper. I would use two words to describe the training experiences I have had through Dive Georgia: Challenging and Supportive. There are plenty of dive shops who simply want to get you through the course so they can take your money. They don't really care how much you learn along the way. That is not Dive Georgia. They seem to be very conscientious about the fact that they are training you for a sport that needs a certain level of proficiency for you to be safe and for you to enjoy yourself. More than any dive shop I have ever gone diving with, they are committed to making sure you receive that level of training. I recently completed the NAUI Master Diver with them. It was challenging, fun, and a wonderful learning experience. Are they perfect? No, but their shortcomings are not really related to the training. My chief complaint is about pre-class communication, which is sometimes a little last minute, and sometimes assuming you know things about needed equipment that you don't know. I spoke to someone on the phone and signed up for a class. I wasn't told there were any prerequisites, then was called and asked to send in proof of my needed prerequisite. So, I had to quickly sign up for a class, to meet the requirements. I wish this had been mentioned up front - but, in the scheme of things, pretty minor. I have had good interactions with everyone, but if you are looking for a great first contact point, ask for Emily. She is super friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable!

For the two cheap towels. I would not recommend this place if business.

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!
