Ocean water around Texas is not really clear, however, do you know if people shore dive still?

8 locations listed for Texas, 7 of them fresh water, some of those dedicated scuba parks.
That same website lists 97 shore diving sites for California, every one of them Pacific ocean.
I did a 3 Tank 3 Rig Dive out of Port Aransas with Out to Sea Adventures on the Orion, nicely priced ($275) and 30 miles offshore, Dives were nice but the Boat is SLOOOOooooooooowwwwwwwwwwww (saving fuel). Lots of fish, great spearfishing, good dive master & Captain. They are not a "hold your hand" operation.
Most people consider "shore dives" to be beach or jetties, not freshwater lakes.
