Dive around Texas

There is a spring/summer long event going on in Texas called dive across Texas. The link and details are above. Yes, you get to pay $25 to play, but it is well sponsored and the party in September promises to be a good one.

Nutshell, 12 dives in 4 different locations in Texas. Verified. When you have made the dives you need to take your log back to your participating shop and get the stamp.

I knew about most of the dive sites on the map. There are probably some missing. One that I don't think still exists unless something has changed is Camp Tonkawa in Nacogdoches. Last I knew that belonged to Ozarka, the spring water company.

Otherwise it was a neat swim spot (COLD!) in the summers.

Check it out.

The site doesn't say anything (that I saw) about diving. It does exist though.

Do sites that aren't on the map count?

I dunno. If they are in Texas, I would think so.

I was told all Texas sites count; the map is just a site suggestion map.

It's not on the approved list but We'll stamp your dive log book here at the Paris Tunnels

Don't forget about Lake Pat Mayse and Lake Crook and the Sulphur River Drift Dive between Mount Joy and the Hwy. 24 Bridge ;-)

For those of yall interested there will be another DAT event this Saturday (5/1) @ Mammoth Lake. I have volunteered to lead a dive on the "New Song" & "Sea Toy" wrecks. "Sea Toy" is a 36' Chris Craft and the "New Song" is a 34' work boat. I am sure there are a few other things that I might be able to point out in that general area also.

I hope to start a short briefing about 1030 and be in the water shortly after.

I am having trouble finding any photos but I will see if I have any on my home computer of these boats.
