TSD,

I will have a chance in August to go to Lake Jackson and wanted to finally check out Mammoth Lake dive park.

Anyone been lately? What did you think? What are the conditions?

Is there shade?


Let me know your experiences.

That sounds great. Do you know what time they open for diving in the morning?

Last night I tried to navigate their websites and I did not click on the right area's to find this information.

I think I will be out their the 2nd weekend in August and wonder if I can schedule a night dive also. One of those family in law get togethers in Lake Jackson that will allow me to dive each morning for sure.

Anyone else headed out to the Lake August 9th or 10th?


C-130 will be opened up to do a swim through I assume?

Yes, The C-130 has the window and bulkhead removed and a few other cut outs to allow entry.

Yes, you can make a night dive but be sure to let them know when you arrive that you would like to make a night dive so they can make sure someone will need to stay late. It also isn't a bad idea to call (979) 285-0600.

Let us know how it is. I am planning a trip for the 29th out there. I will be needing to find someone who would like to make a Friday diving.

I will.

Hope I get to do a swim through of that big C-130, I remember doing a small jet swim through 50 seater in a quarry in Ohio years ago. What a blast, got to go into the cockpit with all the instruments, seats and everything laid out, even flight computer was left in the jet for the quarry dive, pretty neat dive experience.

If anyone is heading there the weekend of August 9th, let me know, so I can look you up. Right now I will be solo diving thanks to Mike's rules with the solo certification authorization.
