    Seekin shore dive buddy in May?

    I called the Friday Harbor operation and confirmed that I can get tanks/fills from them, but not much else by way of diving operations (since I'm not able to skipper my own rental boat!) or finding a buddy. Previously had asked Anacortes dive charter if there might be a charter on the day...

    Diving in Cuba

    Thanks for all the information on Playa Giron. I am looking at going there for a week toward the end of April, by myself. Wondering what you think the prospects are for hooking up with a dive buddy for shore diving there?

    There is a spot in the Comal 18' deep across the street from Wursthalle. That's UPstream of Landa Falls, just below a small waterfall. Dove there once, not knowing it was off limits and didn't ask. Loads of crawfish. But last time we were politely advised by some park police to not dive...

    Rookies looking for a little help

    The Comal is very good in every respect ... except depth. You'll find 12' right in front of the steps at Hinman Island park. Great place to work on your buoyancy -- which is most challenging in shallow water. Or book a boat dive at Lake Travis with Lake Travis Scuba. You'll need a dive light...

    San Marcos / Comal River info

    Dove the Comal this past Saturday morning -- just the section above the tube chute, along Hinman Island Rd. Water level and flow were good. Vis was under 10', but may have been due to the rain that had been coming day for a day already at that time.
