Hi Yondi! Congratulations on y’all’s certifications. North Texas has a great community we enjoy practicing our skills at the local quarries in Athens & Terrel; both are run by great families. Helping with invasive weeds in San Marcos is a superb experience with just lovely visibility. The Flower Gardens on the Fling in the gulf of mexi is a must! We earned our Deep certs on the Flower Gardens trip from Andy via Gigglin Marlin in H-Town. It was a memorable trip and he’s a good teacher, highly recommend!

You’re pretty far north of it, but as good Texas divers you might head south to Freeport and make the liveaboard boat trip out to the offshore marine sanctuaries at Flower Garden Banks and Stetson Bank, the “Texas Caribbean”.

One of our instructors is planning a trip to the Flower Gardens in March, he said its fantastic! We won't make that one, we have an over seas trip planned that's leaving the day after they get back. I haven't wrapped my head around diving in a lake yet, but I'll get there :wink:

Don’t feel too bad. August and September are warmer, and aside from a Hurricane threat, calmer. So less chance of a weather postponement .
