Hi UB... I'm glad you're only looking for half-decent vis, 'cause that's all you're gonna find in the Atlanta area. I see you're from Texas, where do you usually dive? The nearest place to dive from Atlanta will be Lake Pirkey, close to Marshall. Well, the more I think about it, Murkey Pirkey doesn't have half-decent vis... (sorry Tony, but it's true!) Its' best claim to fame is being a power-plant lake, and warmer in the wintertime when the generators are running. You can drive a little further west and go to Tyler State Park, which can be a fun dive, and occasionally has half-decent vis- this time of year should be a pretty good bet. In order to dive Clear Springs, you will need to go even further west to Terrell (I-20), probably a couple of hours from Atlanta, possibly further. Are you just visiting there or putting down roots?
Thanks Foo. I currently live near Commerce Texas and have been to CSSP and Athens many times. CSSP is tolerable most of the time and I have seen Athens with near 50' visibility. I am putting down roots in Atlanta. How deep the roots will grow is an unanswered question, but I am in the process of buying a house and plan to stay for years. Where in the world do you get tank fills? Surely I don't have to go all the way to Shreveport???
