Georgia

Georgia offers limited traditional ocean diving; the state is better known for freshwater and river environments. While the coastline along the Atlantic is minimal, where accessible, divers can encounter brackish estuary habitats, shipwrecks, and nearshore marine life in pockets near tidally influenced areas. Inland, the state features lakes and reservoirs with warm water in summer and a variety of freshwater species. With several dive centers and a handful of dive sites, Georgia’s diving is more suitable for beginners or those seeking mixed coastal and inland options rather than a classic tropical sea dive destination.
