seeking bdy 4 Day Dives at Travis 5/13- 15'm '

[pottflan]

I'll be in Austin for a week while on a working US tour. I've been wanting to get a chance to dive while traveling so I hope to go to Travis. A person at the dive shop recommended ScubaBoard posting.

I don't have gear with me so I'll rent from a nearby shop. I'm an experienced sports diver with just under 500 dives.

Maybe you'll want to do a day dive (morning is best) from Wed. 5/13 through Fri. the 16th? I'll be staying in downtown Austin. Thanks.

PM me, I might be able to peel away for some diving. What area are you looking to dive?

I'll be in San Antone for that week as well. I'm game for a dive at Lake Travis on Wednesday morning. I don't know what area specifically because I don't know the lake, but hey, it's water and I'm good. I'll leave it to the local experts to point out some good dive sites.

I can make it out Wednesday and probably Friday.

 

[Lake Travis Scuba]

I am available Friday to run a dive charter for three or more divers. If interested, send a reservation request from Welcome to Lake Travis Scuba.

For shore dives, go to Windy Point Dive Park. You can get information at Windy Point Park.

I'm on vacation, so I can dive any time, any day that week.

I am open Wednesday afternoon and maybe could arrange Thursday, I would love to burn a tank.

I'm curious but are there any marine life to see at Lake Travis?

Well... Perch (sunfish) bass, catfish, carp and crappie depending where you dive but you do not always see them. I have not been in the lake yet this year but I have seen reports that make me believe the water temp is 72ish at the surface and 68ish below say 50' with a vis of 5 to 15ft.

That's right.

I dove at windy point a few weeks ago at the DUI drysuit demo, and according to my computer the temps for the dives I did were 60 to 62. It has warmed some since then, which is nice.
