I am newly authorized with the Diving for Science program at Aquarena Springs (San Marcos), so that will be my new underwater home away from home!

I have really enjoyed diving a few oil rigs over the years, as well as Stetson Bank and Lake Travis.
Happy Diving to All !!

I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the "blue hole" in Wimberly? Do they have diving there? How deep is it?
Recently dove at Chalk Bluff [just north of Uvalde; on the Nueces river].
Only 10" deep, but viz was 40+ consistently at 72 [night] to 75 [day] *F over three days!
Lotsa fish, some turtles, boulders, plant life, artifacts [people lose some WEIRD stuff there], etc.
A great way to make a single tank last all day.
Amazing view, a great place to go with a bunch of friends and camp out all weekend. Which is what I did.
Very inexpensive, I believe my entry was $8. Camping was ... about the same?

The Blue Hole, If we are talking about the same place(below an RV park), is narrow and deep. It has been a long time since I have been there, but you have a lot of people rock jumping into it. To dive it would mean to do so without a lot of people doing cannonballs into the middle of it.

I'm about to start my first scuba class in a few weeks, and I'll be doing my OW cert dives out at CSSP. I'm really glad to hear so many good things about this location since it's likely that I'll be driving out there at least fairly regularly to get in some dives.
PK seems to be getting a lot of good feedback also, and that isn't too far to make it a day trip.
I'm definitely interested in the Aquarena Springs and Comal dives, but those are going to be a bit more involved trips for me from the DFW area.
Any other spots to hit around the DFW metroplex? I assume nothing good about the local lakes like Grapevine, Eagle Mountain, Lewisville, Ray Hubbard, etc. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
If anyone might be looking to buddy up for something here in another month or so and don't mind being slowed down by an utter noob, let me know.
