Feedback on a few Texas lakes?

[oldschool]

This spring / summer, I'd like to take a few roadtrips and dive some different spots. If anyone can provide some dive intel on the following lakes, it would be greatly appreciated.

1. Hubbard Creek reservoir ( west of Possum Kingdom Lake)
2. Proctor Lake (north of Comanche)
3. OH Ivie Reservoir ( east of San Angelo)
4. Navaro Mills Lake (east of Hillsboro)
5. Lake Limestone (east of Waco)

I'd start here. Several of the lakes you list are in the Brazos River Basin (Hubbard Creek, Proctor, and Limestone), where I work. I hope you realize that with the continuing drought, lake levels are at all-time lows in many areas, which may effect things like visibility and even access. I have to say that I am not familiar with diving in any of the Brazos lakes on your list, but can't honestly say that it's not done.

Never took a dive in any of the lakes you listed...but I suspect they are just like the others: Low & murky.

Im curious why not a list like this:

Lake Travis
Mammoth Lake
288 Lake
Athens Scuba Park
Lake Amistad
Lake Alan Henry
Comal River
Balmorhea State Park

Why not any of these lakes:

Lake Travis
Lake Amistad
Lake Alan Henry
288 Lake
Mammoth Lake
Balmorhea state park
Athens Scuba park
Comal river

All good (some low) diving locations across Texas.

Try Blue Laggoon, or Mammoth, both pretty cool places to get wet.

Because these are all well known lakes for the most part. I would like to try other less known territories where "no man has gone before".

There's usually a reason why "no man has gone before", and it's usually because "no man can see past his faceplate".

Yep. Been there, done that, and I do have the T-Shirt that says "good viz is overrated". I've done plenty of diving in low viz / black water. If anything, it has increased my confidence and skills. Maybe it's because I enjoy the planning, process and challenge of the dive more than the sights.

Yeah if you stay shallow enough you don't need to
see your SPG anyway.

I like the way you think os
