Diving near Austin?

[voodooCatfish]

I'm meeting up with my brother in Austin at the end of July for business and we would love to stay and extra couple of days and find somewhere worth diving. Am I dreaming or what? Where can I get an underwater cowboy hat? ;-)>
Any suggestions/invitations would be very welcome.
Take care,
Jeremy

Lake Travis is about as good as it gets for fresh-water lakes in Texas.

Has Travis cleared up at all yet? I was out there a couple of weeks ago and it was horrible vis below 50 ft.

Lake Travis is still closed to boating from all the flooding, although they have finally closed 1 of the 4 open floodgates on Mansfield Dam. To me the main issue is whether the bacteria counts are still high. And we received more rain in the area yesterday adding to the runoff into the lake. I think I'll be waiting a while before I go back in ...

^^ yeah, when you post, just wait a second or 10 and then back up through the reply boxes to the thread and refresh. Your post should show up then.

Thanks guys.
