Lake Travis - Mansfield Dam area

Divers – Danny - paulw

Water Temp - 55

Max Depth - 75'

Vis - 35 - 40 ft above 60 and maybe 5 ft below

Dive Time - 50 min

The visibility was incredible above 50ft, at one point I looked up and saw the boat dock and could clearly see the railing and lights on the pole and I was at 30ft, I dropped a fet more with no change. Just an amazing dive.

Saturday April 5th, 2014. Blue Lagoon, Huntsville, TX
64* in Lagoon #1 great viz
 
Temp: same
Vis: 50-70'
Springflow: Call it 135cfs

Hit Deep Hole for about 20 minutes and moved on to Arch Site. 40 minutes later, it look like it should.

The hump between the site is VERY shallow. Get your bearings right and be super cautious of boats.

Private OW class using the TA this morning. Talked with Ron Coley after the dive. Apparently Ron is enjoying retirement and spending a lot of time in the Banana Republics down south.
 
Stillhouse Hollow Lake - 4-26-2014

Began the dive on the marina side of the penninsula. Dropped down to 25 ft and swam following the shore incline to the point and returned. Plenty of fish activity. Very decent conditions for Stillhouse.
