This dive site is truly unique, offering certified divers the opportunity to plunge into the massive Ocean Voyager exhibit at the Georgia Aquarium. It's not a natural reef but a meticulously maintained, man-made ecosystem designed to replicate an open ocean environment. Navigation is simple, focusing on observation within the enormous tank rather than complex topography, allowing divers to immerse themselves in the incredible marine spectacle.
The primary draw is the guarantee of diving with whale sharks, a rare experience only consistently available here globally. Alongside these gentle giants, divers will encounter various other large shark species, including hammerheads, majestic manta rays, and an abundance of other sizable fish, creating a vibrant and densely populated underwater world.
Dives are offered year-round, as the indoor setting is unaffected by external weather conditions. This makes it an ideal destination for divers seeking a guaranteed encounter with pelagic species regardless of the season. It's an exceptional experience for wide-angle photography due to the unparalleled visibility and large subjects. Booking well in advance is essential due to high demand.
