I like camping there. When I get hot I go for a dive to cool off. The pine forest that surrounds the park is easy on the eyes.

Bummr about the knee. problems like that hold many back. Some of the funnest dives I have been on I had no one to guide me. I really had no idea what to expect. Perhaps I had a vague idea what to expect based on a textual reports from the Internet but that's about as far as it went. My point is...

Lake Murray isn't a big deal. There are easy and difficult entries. Saying it's a difficult entry shows that whomever said that doesn't know it very well at all. The worst exit I've seen is Comal river at Lincoln St. I had to hike (with all my equipment) eight blocks to where we could legally...

I'm sure by buddies think of themselves as victims after a Lake Murray trip. The vis may be crap, they have to haul their equipment up/down steep hills, and I put them to work hauling 50lb bags of trash out of the water. I feel so hurt I don't hear back from them ever again lol. Diving in Texas...

I've never seriously thought about getting a dry suit. The reason is I only know one person that has a dry suit that will dive in the winter. In the winter I just wear my 2.5mm shorty and 5mm full suit. I can last 45 minutes or so. I have a 7mm now that I want to try out when the conditions...

It's hard to describe in words how to get to Sharky's Cove. But If you drop by Scuba J's dive shop (he's in Lake Murray's marina) he'll draw you directions on a free park map. He's a full service dive shop that rents and sells equipment, does PADI training, and provides air fills. He's only...

Nice pix.

Like.

Dos anyone ever see good vis there?

Please read the M/V Fling's FAQ. Yes. Please read the M/V Fling's FAQ.

Thanks for finding that link.

Sorry. This question has been asked many times and is answered as part of many other threads. I use Bonine (a generic Meclizine). It works for me. It's a pill. I start taking it the night before. If you wait until you start getting sick it won't help since you'll just puke up the pills. I've...

Bruce is baaaaaack!

I think it's pretty easy to find these rigs. I've studied his videos closely. (There's only 30-40 minutes of video after all.) They show glimpses of the rig when he's clearly still standing on the park's beach. And there are some shots while he's at the rig you can see they're not that far from...

There's a guy that loads his scuba gear on a kayak and launches it right off the beach of Mustang Island State park. He says it takes about 20 minutes to paddle out to a small rig. (I call it that but I'm not sure what it's purpose is.) If I read his videos correctly there's a 2nd rig he's...

It would be interesting to see the effect of making something similar to Panama City Beach off the coast of Texas somewhere that is central to the dense San Antonio- DFW-Houston population centers. Freeport perhaps. Even in the winter the vis was pretty good only 30 miles off of Freeport. Not...

I use Windows 7 and it comes with Windows Live Movie Maker. It works well for me.

Trip #1: Weekend trip on small boats as day trips to remote Gulf sites Drive down on a Friday night. Eat dinner on the way at a quick food place for $5. Spend the night in a local hotel at a cost of around $60. Get up early on Saturday and eat the hotel's breakfast. Do two tanks on...

Oh I remember the two trips I was able to make to rigs on Captain Beard's boat. It was a blast. I saw he went to star reef last summer but I couldn't make. Make this year I will be able to make it if he goes back. I WANT to go. I submitted a comment. I told them I was against the Galveston...
