Dive Wimberly?

[naimis]

I haven't been out to "Blue Hole" in Wimberly since long before I started diving, but the recent "extreme cave diving" episode on NOVA made me think about it. Has anyone been diving out there? A quick search turned up a smattering of comments about Jacob's Well, but I wasn't able to find any mention of Blue Hole.

I found this information Blue Hole, a Texas Treasure, Wimberley, Texas which looks like what you are talking about. No mention of diving, but you never know. Says they're open summers.

It's not really deep enough to dive. Good for a swim on a hot summer day though...

That said 13' max. When I was there last summer (drought) Cypress Creek and the Blanco were both just strips of mud. There were small trees growing in the middle of the river, so there hadn't been much water for a good while. Haven't been back since it started raining.

Enough to activate your computer or cover your tank, whichever comes first.

I thought it was a lot deeper than that. Oh, well. Disappointing, but at least it saves me from making a pointless trip.

A dive is at least 15 feet for 15 minutes.

Does that mean that "Bathtub Specialty" doesn't count as a dive? I can get the time but not the depth. And I already have the patch sewn to my jacket.
