The Comal

What are the temps like now? We may be heading down there on Sat or Sunday (16th or 17th) for a little diving adventure.

Comal is around 70 year round

Where do you dive in the Comal? How deep is it? What's the vis?

I've been in the San Marcos River....but not the Comal......

Last summer I did a night dive in the Comal between Garden Street and Union Street. Temp was 73 degrees, max depth was 15 feet. There's a current that will sweep you along but if you want to linger, go to either bank--current's not as strong there--and check out the wildlife.

Cruiser hit it. Temp is pretty stable, the vis is very acceptable (10-20, depending), and it's effectively a "drift dive". Just relax and steer. We went in the early summer, so there were tubers everywhere, but that just made it more fun. Every once and a while, we'd pop up and surprise a few folks, strike up a conversation, etc--remember the average depth is under ten feet. We also found quite a few pairs of sunglasses, some money (a few bills, in fact), a set of car keys (didn't find the owner), and a bikini top (couldn't find the owner of that, either). In short, it's a good lazy dive that I consider worth doing once in a while.

Last Saturday and Sunday (Feb. 9-10), it was 72-73 degrees. Was there all weekend. Quite nice.

Yeah, I've found a few dollars down there, a ring, lots of glasses, and more beer cans than i could ever bag up. But right now, I just need to get wet, and wet and 70 sounds a lot better than wet and 54 (degrees).
