It's a large lake with similar conditions and ecology to other large lakes I have been to like Lake Murray, Canyon Lake, Lake Travis, Lake Whitney, etc. Since the water level is up on PK I see no point (if you are starting in DFW) to go to Travis anymore since you can get the same thing again at...

I always wondered if anyone actually read any of my reports.

I mostly hang at Grapevine Scuba these days.

Y'all are tough. It looks like Norway has great diving as long as you are ready to invest in a dry suit.

Why isn't there no anchor buoys so the pilot can see where the reef is from the surface?

Some dive shops are very monogamous on where they go but others go all kinds of places. Many have no fee. At this point you don't know where you class will be. I wouldn't pay until I enter the park. You can take your OW before next spring. Scuba Toys and International Scuba (and possibly...

That is an awesome deal.

It amuses me when people skip over Spring Lake. The next time I go I'll split the gasoline and hotel costs 50/50 so it will cost me about $50 for three dives and we'll have a great time. Since flying has become so expensive and annoying Spring Lake is a great option for a short dive trip that...

Good point about Texoma. It may be a good choice considering the starting point. I was hesitant to recommend it since I only made it there once and had a great dive. The conditions were good but it might bad most of the time for all I know. (And I know it must have been bad at Texoma this spring...

You can dive anywhere the water is liquid but most of the places in DFW are not very desirable especially compared to Lake Murray. Considering your location (McKinney) and your restriction to day trips you've already found the best spot in your area that is open on Mondays. Other than Murray...

No one needs a scuba park. There are plenty of lakes that are open 24/7/365.

Was it really that long ago? I went to SDM in 2010 and had a great time. Stuart was grumpy but it had no effect on the diving. He did his job well. I'd still like to go back to SDM if I can ever get around to it. Now I feel short changed because my boat didn't sink. I want to be on a boat that...

I think GUE rhymes with church pew.

I wouldn't rent or drive a car in Mexico or anywhere in Latin America because they hold you in jail until you pay if you get involved in an accident. There's no need to take the responsibility of operating a car there during a short term visit. I found there's always buses, taxis, or special...

You can't judge a place based on one day of diving.

I hope the equipment weighs less.

They're hoping you will scare a small fish out of its hiding place that they can gobble up.

You have to have the right stuff to dive in Texas mud water. It's not for everyone.

I've recovered anchors a few times and stayed in the water for at least as long. I have a clip that would attach it to my D ring. Its a bit awkward being so overweighted but it's not that big a deal.
