Who all is doing the Dive Around Texas program?

[Texas Torpedo]

I signed up about a month ago for the Dive Around Texas program and have 4 destinations knocked out thus far.. I was wondering how many people are actually participating in this program?

I haven't signed up yet, but I'm sort of planning to. I understand the prizes are nice.

[Zinc]

I've been meaning to, just need to get by the dive shop and sign up.

Wow, great list of prizes!

 

[oldschool]

I signed up a few weeks ago. Come to find out, I had most of the needed dives already logged. I had already logged dives at the Comal, Travis, and Stillhouse so just to get the fourth location, I made a couple of solo dives one Saturday afternoon in Lake Belton.

 

[navychop]

I did.
So far:
Mammoth Lake
Windy Point
Oasis Bluff
Tom Hughes Park
Old Scubapark
Bob Wentz park
lots of time left
Navychop

 

[sandys1184]

I've got one more location to get to...(well, hopefully, I'll really get to more then one, but I need one more to qualify for the drawing) so far I've been to Clear Springs, Blue Lagoon and Aquarena Springs. My dive club is going to Mammoth in a couple weeks.

 

[Texas Torpedo]

Mammoth has weeks worth of things to explore and from what I've heard the viz is getting better with time. Enjoy it!

 

[carrielsal]

I'm thinking about signing up. That's a great list of prizes. So far this year I have 24 dives in 4 Texas locations,the Flower Gardens, Lake Travis, the Comal River, and Aquarena Springs. Drop me a PM if anyone wants to get together to try another site.

Speaking of Texas - I'll be visiting my sister (in McKinney) in late July. Any dives in the area that are good for newbies?
