Certification Locations

 LAKE JULIETTE - Open Water Certification Location - The lake is 3,600-acres and is maintained in cooperation with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. The area we train in has an average depth of 20-25 feet with a sandy bottom and visibility in the lake during the summer averages about 5-8 feet. There is not anything to see at the lake other than a passing fish every ounce in a while. This is a lake that offers a convenient local option for us to do training. Before choosing this option, please be sure that you will be comfortable diving in a low viability environment.
