Open Water class October 2021
We all had a blast last weekend at Lake Jocassee! We wrapped up the summer lake season with a great PADI Open Water Diver class. The water was the warmest of the the whole season, under water visibility was great and we welcomed two BRAND NEW PADI OPEN WATER DIVERS. We had lots laughter and 4 fantastic check out dives.
As usual we spread the check out dives over two days. This time we decided to drive back an forth, as we had the Saturday morning and Sunday later morning dives. Lake Jocassee is only 1 hour and 40 minutes from Athens and the drive, once coming off I85, is scenic and enjoyable. We got very lucky with the weather all weekend and dive conditions were as good as you can imagine in a lake.
Thanks to the great organization by our friends from Scuba Shop Spartanburg, the boats were ready and well prepared for our trips. The dive sites are only 10 minutes from the dock and after finishing all our skills on each of the dives, we had plenty of time to explore the divers and interesting under water world of Lake Jocassee.
We are proud to have certified our partners from the Georgia Aquatic Center in Watkinsville and that they are so exited about scuba diving.
Both of our freshly certified PADI divers will join us on our trip to St. Croix in the end of this month.
Group DIVE Trip to St Croix
Athens Scuba is excited to announce that we set up our first dive group trip. From November 28th to December 5th we are going to St Croix in the US Virgin Island.
This will be a fun and relaxed getaway that is great for newly certified divers and experienced divers alike!
St Croix is an uncrowded and beautiful island, that offers great reef- and wall diving, from shore and from boat. It is US territory, so no passport is needed and travel restrictions for COVID are easier to manage than many foreign countries.
The trip includes accommodations at Holger Danske Hotel, diving and rental cars (cars will be provided on a shared basis with designated drivers).
The hotel is conveniently located for diving, dining and a great time while being on your dive trip. There is an on-property restaurant and lots of other options around. The hotel has different room options.
We included the standard room. You have the choice between the one (King or Queen), or two bed (double) setup.
We can also accommodate checkout dives, refresher courses, and some specialty courses on this trip, please inquire separately for any course options.
Everyone at Athens Scuba is very excited to go on our first dive trip with a group and we can’t wait to introduce you to the fantastic underwater world surrounding St Croix.
