Honestly, with the exception of Miami I can't recommend any city for scuba diving. I'm from Florida, and have lived all up and down the west coast of the state. Even my hometown of Naples is bad for scuba diving. The water is always murky and you can barely see a thing. The only time I ever scuba dived and truly enjoyed the experience was down in the Florida keys. Miami is the closest major city to the keys.
For snowboarding then you will obviously want to live out west. I just moved to Denver, which is close proximity to lots of snowboarding places. But even then, you aren't going to be going snowboarding every weekend. That stuff is EXPENSIVE.
You have a very strange criteria for your ideal city. Lets keep our feet in reality and realize that no one is going to be going scuba diving or snowboarding whenever they want. And no city on earth is close to both snowboarding and scuba diving, as the water close to snowboarding is going to be too freezing to scuba in.
Pick which activity you are want and move close to that activity. And Atlanta and Dallas are close to neither.
Have you ever been to Atlanta??
Have you looked up information about Atlanta?
Could you look up information about Atlanta before you start trashing out?
Don't even get me going. I just escaped from Atlanta after living there for 7 months of this year. And I lived in Midtown which is one of the better areas to live in. The city is FILTHY, and ghetto, and does have one of the worst job markets in the nation. It even has high taxes for gods sake. I can think of no reason for anyone to want to live there.
I try to find the good in every place I visit and live in, but I left Atlanta with literally nothing pleasant to say about it.
I didn't give much credence to the statement "ATL is filty" because every big city has it's filthy parts.
San Francisco is a beautiful city overall but right next to downtown is the Tenderloin district, at night it feels downright creepy with druggies, homeless, vagrants and there is absolute filth everywhere. It is also one of the most dangerous areas in the country.
Los Angeles has it's downtown Skid Row, Watts, Compton, Inglewood, South Central,
this is LA's Skid Row area in downtown, so LA has plenty of filth as well if you are looking for it. Plenty of neighborhoods in LA look just like the one below.
Atlanta has vast swaths of filth just like that all over the city. You have to go out of your way to find places like that in San Francisco and LA. Atlanta is like that even in the "nice" parts of town. Atlanta's downtown district is a disgrace to the developed world.

I'm not the biggest fan of Atlanta either but I loved the lush scenery, the friendly people, and the large upwardly mobile black community. The weather is also pleasantly temperate compared to most of the south.

So, you expect us to believe your opinion because you visited Atlanta for 7 months. Oh, What an expert you are.

Yep! This sure looks "filthy and ghetto" to me ...

Yep! Ansley Park, Druid Hills, Virginia Highland, Morningside, Buckhead, etc. are all ghetto!
Get real, dude. You're not fooling anyone.
(BTW ... does everybody else see the irony of someone from Miami calling Atlanta "ghetto?")
All those old houses and paint on the walls! Get out as fast as you can!
