If you’ve ever seen divers in an aquarium, visions of what a cool job that must be had to have crossed your mind at least once. Many of these divers are, in fact, volunteers, and do it for nothing more than their love of SCUBA diving and being immersed in the marine world, or at least a simulated one. But did you know that you don’t have to volunteer or be an employee of an aquarium to get the chance to dive one yourself? Not at the Georgia Aquarium you don’t! Yes, the staff and trained professionals at the Georgia Aquarium invite you to participate in an experience of a lifetime in their 6.3 million gallon tank, where you can personally observe thousands of fish and other marine species up close and personal. Here you’ll find zebra sharks, whiprays, cownose rays, guitarfish, hammerhead sharks, whale sharks, humphead wrasse, and more! Check out this truly amazing video of the experience waiting for you at the Georgia Aquarium.

Yes, I got to dive with the whale sharks summer 2010. Amazing experience! Staff was great and being able to see the kids faces light up as we swam over the tunnel was so much fun! You can also interact with people in the large viewing room. They were really thrilled to watch us dive. Also get a cool behind the scenes tour with your dive.

Amazing experience, and the people who work for the aquarium make the experience even better.
Yeah that place is awesome and yes I have dove there. One of my favorite places in the world. The whale sharks are amazing, and everything else is too. Have it all in DVD too. Plan on going back real soon
Took a cancer survivor on that dive as part of Fin Forward and partnered with them for a virtual dive (picture cut-out) for a U.K. survivor! It was incredible but we’ve decided to focus more on wild encounters outside of captivity, like whale sharks in Mexico this July!
I just dove there in December! Such a great experience!
Felicia…what was the cost? Was there a waiting list? Thanks!!
I have not done this aquarium, but I have done the National Aquarium in Baltimore and the one on Siam Ocean World, Bangkok. They were both great – not inexpensive – dives.
I did! I was so close to those whale sharks I could reach out and touch them Do it it was worth the money.

I did and it was wonderful, I loved the while sharks and the big manta swimming over my head!
I’ll have to add the Georgia aquarium to the list. I dove at the National Aquarium in Baltimore, which was great.
I want ti do it!
We went a visited last weekend but didn’t get to do it… There is a waiting list… Plan to go back though… Did get to see the dolphins show which was awesome… We adopted one too :0)
did the NJ Aquarium for two years and loved every minute of it.
