Greetings from San Antonio

Hey all, new diver based out of San Antonio. I'd appreciate recommendations of good ways to find groups/buddies to dive with locally!

Welcome to SB. Ask around you local dive shops. There are lots of dive clubs in Texas, most seem to be affiliated with shops.

Welcome to the forums! In addition to the above, I'll add that there are a lot of groups/pages on Facebook for dive buddies. You can also post in the regional forums here to connect with folks in a lot of places.

Thanks all!

I second visiting some of our excellent dive ops in the San Antonio area to find dive buddies and join their local and extended trips. I also strongly recommend looking into getting certified to do volunteer diving at Spring Lake, The Meadows Center for Water and the Environment, which is part of Texas State U at San Marcos. The lake is fairly shallow, but beautiful beyond your expectations, and the diving is fun as well as a great opportunity to meet divers from all over Texas. I live at Canyon Lake, and feel free to DM me with any questions. Welcome to SB.
