Diving Lessons in Atlanta

Question
Hi I was wondering if you knew of any clubs or private instructors, for someone in their early 20's looking to learn to dive weather its springboard or platform in the Atlanta, GA area? This is something I always wanted to do and always had the physic for and all I can find is training for youths.

Answer
Lo -

There are diving teams in the Atlanta area at Georgia Tech and Emory Universities but maybe they do not take adults. Often the coaches at colleges only focus on their college divers or age group/high school divers and do not have time for adults.

You should go to the USA Diving's Masters webpage to find out more info on adult diving: www.mastersdiving.com. On the left hand side of the page, click on "E-mail Addresses". I looked there and found some people who live in Atlanta so there must be a pool that they dive at. Look at the cities next to the names of divers. I know I saw two names from your area.

Other diving websites are:

www.usadiving.org - Click on "Find A Club"
www.flipnrip.com
www.usadiver.com
www.aausports.org - Navigate your way to clubs in Georgia

Good luck with your search. I am sure you will find something.
