American Diving - Dive trips?

[jeffro360]

hi all.. just wondering if any of you have been on trips with American Diving and if so, which trips?

My buddy and i are thinking about the Clipper, and/or the Texas Underwater Park trips... any feedback/opinions are appreciated!

Hey Jeffro, you definitely want to head down and do a dive or two on the Clipper. The underwater park is at the mouth of the Rio Grande and viz is typically not very good. I know Oak Hill Scuba is coming down next weekend for a 3 tank dive. 2 on the Clipper and then we pull up and head over to one of the nearby oil rigs for a 3rd dive.

We've got a trip on the books for Aug 2nd. According to Capt. Lonny, the boat is a go. We're just looking into a place to stay, other than a tent. We're actually looking at renting a motor home for the trip down.

We'll be booking additional trips there as demand warrants.

yes, I was out with them a couple of weeks ago diving the clipper. They are a first rate organization. I would have no problem recommending them...

I dove the Clipper with American Diving in Jan 08. Tim (Owner) was the Capt. on the boat. I will say that they are definetly the company to dive with!

The boat was awesome, the Divemasters were awesome, and Tim possesses a vast amount of information from his many years of diving.

I would recommend American Diving and I am looking forward to many return trips to dive with them again!

Mack...

We would be interested in a late September 3-day Friday-Sunday trip that included a bus ride down and back. If we got back mid afternoon the 4 hour drive home would not be too bad and the earlier it left on Friday would be OK cause we would have to come on Thursday nite anyway...

Just my thoughts

The Texas Clipper is definitely a great dive. You can make many dives on the wreck before seeing it all. Seana's rig is another great dive, especially getting into August and September for the possiblility of seeing whale sharks. They do offer a three dive day; two dives on the Clipper and one on a rig.

I'll check on a late September trip and see what I can put together. The only issue with the bus is finding someone with a chauffeurs license.
