Boerne City Lake

[ScubaTexan]

I don't know; I've never been there. But I've read about the jellyfish and seen them on TV. You're actually not allowed to scuba dive at Jellyfish Lake -- only snorkel.

It is the water supply for the city of Boerne.
Any particular questions yould like answered?

Is it still OK to pee in ones wet suit there?:no

Why can't you scuba there? There must be a reason.

SCUBA diving in the lake is prohibited to avoid disturbing the jellyfish and also to reduce the risk of hydrogen sulfide poisoning.

I think this was a reference to Jellyfish Lake (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jellyfish_Lake). Boerne City Lake doesn't appear to prohibit diving (http://www.ci.boerne.tx.us/Default.aspx?tabid=242).
