loosebits:Man, 20 mins with doubles... hmm.. that doesn't jive with my definition of "accessible".
Andrew, want to help me set up a side-mount rig? Two 20 min hikes sound a lot better

amascuba:you *******s! Can I say that? I guess I'll find out when I post. I'll make a trek up to austin to go dive the hole and while I'm there I might as well dive the Lake. If anybody is interested I can show somebody my funky work schedule and make some plans.
Edit: The bleeped out word is supposed to be b-a-s-t-a-r-d.

If it's as deep as previous posted, it'll be something special, I think. And if there are active springs, it may be clearer at depth than you expect.ianr33:I really dont think this hole is going to be anything special.Probably just a silt filled bowl.Something different to do when you have dived Windy Point a Gazillion times.
ianr33:Well y'all piqued my interest so I went exploring today and found Bluebonnet Hole. ... Can be accessed from shore with a bit of a hike. Figure 20 minutes+ ...
I made an exploratory trip on 3-13, no diving, just looking. I took the attached photo from up by the dam. I am also attaching an aerial photo that I got out of a book at the library in Marble Falls. The caption of the photo is the only reference to this spot I have been able to find. The caption readsJonAustin:Sooooo... Anybody been out there yet? Inquiring minds, and all.
rafaelaustin:I think it's time to rent some kayaks!
The expedition for this weekend has been postponed. I was going to play sherpa, but that'll have to wait for a better weekend. The photo does have me intrigued...
Edit: According to GIS data, the distance from The Ramp fishing camp to Bluebonnet Hole appears to be about 2200'.
Ian said it was about a 20 min hike. Maybe we can find a better way to get in before next attempt.rafaelaustin:According to GIS data, the distance from The Ramp fishing camp to Bluebonnet Hole appears to be about 2200'.
