Scuba Summer Camp 2022

Athens Scuba is proud to announce that we are organizing Athens’ first ever Scuba Summer Camp for kids from age 10 to 17! We are excited to teach children a variety of knowledge and skills around scuba diving, snorkeling and swimming.

In this summer camp, required academics will be mixed with fun facts and educational videos. Water skills will be blended with fun activities, free diving and more, all of which will assist the future scuba divers in developing a better finning technique and airway control.

The camp will not fully certify the participant, but it will cover 2/3 of the full PADI Open Water Diver course. We will finish all knowledge and basic skill training with the children. The four check out dives required for full certification will be offered as an add-on later in the summer because the dives can’t be completed in a pool.

Requirements:

  • Minimum age is 10 years
  • Kids must be able to swim before the camp starts
  • Certain medical conditions will require a physicians sign off

The 5 Day Summer Camp from June 27th to July 1st 2022 includes:

  • Daily Supervision from 9AM to 3 PM
  • Two dive professionals in the water at all times while the campers are in
  • Life guard on duty whenever the campers will be in the water
  • Swim and snorkeling development, supervised by a professional swim coach on days one and two
  • Scuba knowledge development according to PADI standards
  • Scuba skill development according to PADI standards
  • Each child gets their own gear set with a Mask, Fins and Snorkel
  • Snacks
  • Water
  • Grill out Friday afternoon with parents

Parents are invited to join us Friday afternoon to check out the skills their children have learned and are encouraged to hop in and try scuba diving for free with us as well!

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.
