    The folks at Dolphin Dive Center are great! I went through the SCUBA certification class and they made everyone feel at ease throughout the entire process. I highly recommend using them if you are going to try out SCUBA for the first time or even going on one of their monthly trips. All around great experience!

    This is the BEST dive shop in the area. I learned to SCUBA dive with the Dolphin Dive Center affiliated class at the University of Georgia, MARS 4740L, which was taught by Dr. Scott Noakes. I have been on three dive trips with Dolphin Dive Center (24 of my 26 dives), from which I have received my Scuba Schools International Open Water and Advanced Open Water certifications. Two of these trips have been to the Florida Keys and the other to Vortex Springs in Ponce de Leon, FL.

    The instructors at Dolphin Dive Center are second to none. They are very knowledgable and very informative. I have taken my open water course as well as the navigation, deep diver, reduced visibility/night, and wreck specialty courses from them. Tim Bridgham, the head instructor and owner of this fabulous shop, stresses safety and fun. If you want to just do the minimum to dive and have no regard for safety, fun, and technique, this is not the shop for you. If you want to dive in a fun and safe manner, this is the shop to go to! Shout out to the other instructors that I've worked with: David Baldwin, Nicole Ducleroir, Jeremy Reaves, Brent Hix, and Jay Cavanaugh.

    In addition, Dolphin Dive Center sells top-notched gear. I purchased all of my gear from Dolphin Dive Center. They were very knowledgable and knew the pros and cons of each piece of equipment. They are a AquaLung dealer and service center, and my gear was masterfully assembled and serviced by Jay Cavanaugh, the resident technician.

    If i could, I would give this dive center a 6 stars/5 stars because of their knowledge, training, expertise, and always positive experience. BEST DIVE SHOP I'VE EVER USED!

    P.S. They are getting rid of their tanning beds and specializing only in diving instruction.

    First class dive shop. Great instruction. Great people. Great experiences all around. Why dive with anyone else. Tim and the gang do more than teach SCUBA. They make diving fun and help you each step along the way. What do you do for fun?

    This is a very nice place for Athens-Clarke County, as well as any other local SCUBA divers to come and be a part of a larger community. Although I am technically PADI certified and they are part of the SSI Agency, I felt right at home when I went on some dive trips with them. They have many nice and extravagant trips during the year. But if your a budget strapped college student like myself, then they also have monthly trips to Vortex Springs in Florida and Lake Jocassee in northern South Carolina, both of which are excellent places to bone up on one's skills and have a great time with fellow SCUBA divers. Apart from their dive trips, they have a wonderful staff and a very nice selection of SCUBA gear to choose from and very reasonable prices. Aside from all that, they have a Dive Club that one can join that has monthly meetings on various subjects and great guest speakers as well.

    The first time through the doors at Dolphin Dive Center, my husband and I were met by a friendly and professional staff that provided all the information we needed to begin our next great adventure: scuba diving. From helping us choose the best-fitting equipment to excellent classroom and confined water instruction, owner Tim Bridgham and his instructors guided us through the certification process. And we enjoyed ourselves so much, we enrolled our kids, ages 14 and 12. Now our family vacations center around scuba diving. We highly recommend Dolphin Dive Center for all your scuba needs.
