I've only been there twice, both times with a class. The conditions were similar to Lake Travis Wendy Point after a heavy class load. Water entry was alot easier though!

Where is Canyon Lake?

you can see 10 ft. (if lucky) and good luck on not getting an ear infection ...... be sure to bring SWIM EAR and use if after you finish diving .....

The only real diving spot is off North Park near the dam, there are no wake bouys placed off the shore and that is where the local dive shops to Canyon use a couple of platforms for open water dives, vis is usually not that good (10 foot on a good day) and I'm sure the temp is closely folowing that of Lake Travis.

There is also a spot by the public boat ramp a little more difficult to get to but it's free no entrance fee. Lots of fishing lines and lures. There is an old car sunk there.

IMO Travis is better, but for us it is closer

I have dove North Park once. I was warned that dive flags are being enforced.

I didn't get an ear infection.

Vis ranged from 1-15 feet. Depending on if I was following a catfish or carp.

I enjoyed the dive. I would do it again.

I think Lake Travis is better too. But I have only done one dive a Canyon do not think the vis was 10 feet.
