Dive Spots in GA

[FlickaDaFin]

The local dive shop in middle GA says if I wanted to dive, I'd have to go to Florida. I know that's not completely true. I know there's Grey's Reef, which is a long boat ride and good vis only a few months of the year. There's Clarke Hill Lake with the airplane wreck to explore and Lake Juliette is clear and DEEP. Who has other ideas that's actually in the state?

There is a Scuba Park, called Dive Haven - it's about 1.5 hour north of Atlanta. Here is the website: Dive Haven Georgia Atlanta Area Quarry Scuba Diving Certification and Instruction White Georgia www.divehavenga.com

I used to live in GA and I remember that down on the Coast near Cumberland Isle or Island, they used to do treasure dives. Might want to check that out.

My parents live on the coast in GA and they have a boat that occasionally go to Cumberland Island, but never realize that there is treasure dives. What do you/divers find?

Savannah River. I used to live and dive in Augusta, GA. You already mentioned Clark Hill. You can also dive the Savannah River. It's a fun little dive. Not too deep, but it is a drift dive.

I believe there's a lake near Atlanta where they dive also, but I can't remember the name of that lake.

Lake Lanier is very popular, but it is a bit dry these days. Water problems as many know.

There were several Spanish Gallieons that were believed to go down near the coast there. Gold coins are found on a pretty regular basis, washed up on shore of Cumberland.

My LDS goes there for overnight camping trips on site. I haven't had a chance to go yet, but it sounds like a lot of fun.

Is there anywhere to dive there where you wouldn't have to dodge all the boats?

Just a few minutes north of Georgia (in Tenn), there's Loch Low-Minn LOCHLOWMINN MAIN PAGE - Great quarry, with lots of bottom sights, Paddlefish, etc.; West of Ga., in Pelham, Al, is Blue Water - another great quarry with lots of amenities, and the water is true to its name...

Just north of Loch-Low is the Philadelpha quarry in Philadelphia tennessee. Its a great little quarry. Mostly natural and cheap. $10 entry fee (as of about 2 weeks ago). Just do a google of philadelphia quarry and you should get a link. I believe its exit 68 off of i-75, but i can't remember for sure.

The website also says they don't have any air, however they do have air now (not nitrox). Also they only take cash.
