New (Soon to be) Scuba Park Near Houston

[Daylonious]

This had a blurb in this months Scuba Diver Magazine.. so I wrote to the guy and he emailed me some pics as well as links to what they're planning for the site. GREAT news for people in Texas.. If you're not familiar with this project they're doing it a little differently, they have a sand quarry pit that they're going to put all the cool stuff in first, THEN fill it up with water. Should allow them to do some nice contouring and precise placement of u/w structures... I understand that they're trying to get an old military tank to toss in there...

Hi Daylon,
Yes, there will soon be a Mammoth Lake Scuba Park! I am going to forward you a link to look at photos of the empty lake, and some of the objects in it. You can also Google News and type 'Mammoth Lake + Texas' and it will bring up a lot of articles about it. Look at the photos/articles, and then I will answer as many questions as I can.

Woohoo! We need more good places to dive around here. Thanks for info. Any idea on ETA on grand opening?

I think the articles say it'll take a year or so for the groundwater to seep in and fill it up.. should have plenty of time to acquire some good stuff to dive on.. they're going to stock it with fish as well..
