I'm finnally going to Lake Travis!

[rcain1]

After being in Texas for some 5 years I am going to go down to Lake Travis. I plan on doing some diving and checking out the lake. I have been looking at and adding my comments to the SB/ Texas Swamp Divers board over the past couple weeks.

Any comments or advice on this board will help me or if you see me and can give me some advice on where to go and dive I would greatly appreciate it. I plan to be on the lake Saturday afternoon. I have a 22’yellow Stingray with a tower.

I am just looking for a nice dive and stuff to see. I have been diving for years (15+) but my wife is a new diver and I want to keep it simple and not to deep. I am not a diver who thinks you have to go down a mile to have a good dive. Personally, some of my best dives have been around 30 feet.

Thanks for any input!

PS. I am coming from the Killeen area so I have no clue where to launch my boat at.

Best advice I can offer is that if you're near Windy Point on Saturday or Sunday, watch out for this n00b here doing his checkout dives for OW... :11:

I am trying to locate some of the maps that I have found for spots on the lake.
Mansfeild Dam has a place for you to launch your boat, but it also has a dive area
the you walk down to and has some interesting objects down there.
I will post the links to the maps when I find them.

Fore treasure check Hippie hollow (on one of the deep blue scub maps, and Devil's Cove (if there are boats in there you might not want to dive here)
