I was at the Comal, down by Texas Tubes on Tues. May 5th. Something I saw that I was curious about was that there were 3 divers, who seemed to be working side to side and looking for 'goodies'. What I found curious was that they were basically at the surface, with their tanks mostly out of the water, and still on their regs. I think that neither of the three had snorkels, and I just wondered why if they were mostly at the surface, why not use snorkels until they wanted to cruise the bottom - it would save a lot of air. I've been on scuba in the comal a few times, and once with only my spare air. I used my snorkel every time, though I usually hung along the bottom the whole time - with my alum 80's, they lasted a long time... Any info. on these diver's habit would be great. Also, are there a lot of divers working the comal after a busy tubing weekend ? Thanks...

Woo hoo, I'm finally an official Swamper!!! Thanks Ann! It was great seeing you again. I enjoyed the Comal dive... too bad I didn't find that guys keys, I could've had a nice dive and come out $50 ahead.

Maybe they were under weighted I had to pick up a couple rocks myself to stay down on Saturday....who knows... I don't think there are any rules about having to stay underwater while on scuba

Hey, we got out at the end and ya'll were GONE! I still had 1700 psi left and was ready to go again. I think Jeff only had 800 left.
Anyway, I had a great time and lets do it again. Thanks for the invite.
