Would Any Austin divers like to head out to CSSP?

Some basic questions: Where is CSSP in relation to Austin? What's the water temp?

If you look on a map of Texas, CSSP is located on the east side of Terrell. Look where IH 20 and US 80 intersect east of Dallas.

As far as temps, the lake is spring fed from a deeeep spring. Surface to 26 feet has been in the 80's. 26-28ft is the edge of the thermocline. And it drops dramatically from there.

So if you want to keep to your 3mil, you can be very comfortable in the 0-30ft range. But if you want to explore the deeper section, I recommend thick 5-mil w/hood & gloves, or a drysuit with hood.

I'm thinking of drysuiting this weekend to get my skills back up to speed. Plus re-figuring out weighting.

Here is a link to the CSSP website. It has contact info, a map, and other useful information that should help.
