I think Canyon Lake is within a 45min drive or so. I've only been there once and don't remember exactly.
if you're on the wrong side from where you're going..
but the list you have looks pretty good as you head to the north. [all mileage #'s following are guesses formed from Austin-SA minus Austin to site]
Canyon Lake - ~20 miles out - Lake Diveing - 5-15 ft. vis, low 80's
Comal River - ~ 30 miles our - shallow, cool river [70's] -- tubers to dodge
San Marcos River - ~40miles out, similar to Comal
Aquarena Springs - source of the San Marcos, 72 degrees, 30-50 ft vis - BUT -you need both permission & qualification to dive. Nice facility for changing etc.. - "The" SCUAB shop is local LDS, 10 minutes away
Travis Lake - ~70 miles out - Lake diving - 10-20 ft. vis, low 80's, 2 SCUBA parks, lots of LDS's 10-30 minutes away
Hopefully some SA folks can correct my milages and/or opinions - - and tell us all if there's something to the West or South!
