Why Choose Big Guy Scuba?

For more than 20 years, Big Guy Scuba has been helping people take that first breath underwater and fall in love with a whole new world. From our shops in Ellijay, Georgia, and Live Oak, Florida, we've taught everyone from curious first-timers to seasoned divers, and we still get just as excited as the day we started.

Maybe you've never even snorkeled before. That's perfectly okay, and honestly, it's our favorite place to start. Our beginner scuba courses and snorkeling classes move at a pace that feels comfortable, with safety, education, and fun at the heart of everything we do. If you're already certified and itching for more, we've got you covered there too, from advanced training all the way to cave and technical diving. You'll be learning from people who have done the real thing, with decades of hands-on diving experience and cave diving credentials among our team. 

Learning doesn't stop when class ends. We lead guided dive tours, carry the gear and apparel you'll actually want to use, and offer underwater photography so you can bring home the memories. We also take our community on trips to places like Bonaire, Fiji, and Egypt's Red Sea, with familiar faces you already know and trust right there beside you.

This is a family kind of place. We love seeing parents, kids, and grandparents share the water together, because those are the memories that last a lifetime. We don't just want to teach you a class. We want to be part of your diving life for years to come. We love our customers!
