Windy Point - Then and Now

[Lake Travis Scuba]

Photos taken of Windy Point last year, at third lowest lake level on record, and taken today while motoring to place the mooring line at Jungle Gym. Water was lapping over the edge today from our wake (Giant Stride does not put out a large wake).

Richard (Windy Point) and I look forward to having you out for a dive.

Lake is full, POOL IS OPEN....

Is that one of the dive platforms on the right in the first pic? Wow, I've never seen them from that perspective. (Haven't seen them in 15 years either way....but will be returning the first weekend in May )

Who needs stairs?

Here are two closeups of the platforms, one with the jetski floating at the surface.

Remind me, what is the depth of the platforms when the lake is full?

Very nice pics.

That'll make the DUI demo a bit more fun -- no walking up and down the stairs all day!!

The platforms at the bottom of the steps are at 30', the other platforms are at 60' and 100'.

That's what I thought. From the pic they didn't appear to be that deep. I have a hard time guaging distance in pics though.


Edit: looking at them again I can see it now.
