Just moved here from So Cal and am I bummed about the local diving prospects. Maybe you can give me some directions as to what is worth diving in Texas and what to avoid.
**Nice boards!**

When the North California fishery crashed in the 1940s, everyone in Monterey wondered where the sardines had gone, Ed Ricketts, marine biologist and colleague of John Steinbeck had the answer, "They're in cans."

I am in Arlington,,,,do alot of diving in Ok.,,,,better water conditions over this past year....just up the road from you is Lake Murray....great place to dive with many options.
Lake Murray is good for diving? No kidding? We used to go up there a lot for family reunions when I was a kid. I guess it's too cold for diving up there this time of year...for most people, but I used to diving in the Pacific. Usually 53 degrees is about as cold as it gets around the Southern California Islands but I've been in water as cold as 48. Anyway, I have a drysuit so that makes a big difference.
Where else in OK, do you go?

Sure are y'all! We do our dive training in several places, but for fun diving they're OK for a couple of day/weekend trips. From Dallas there's Athens Scuba Park; http://www.athensscubapark.com/ and if you haven't been and seen what's there it's fun. At Terrell there is Clear Springs Scuba Park; http://www.clearspringsscubapark.com/ Terrell is a better choice, deeper, colder and with real fish! Lake Travis (Austin) offers some good diving at a couple of locations, Windy Point and Mansfield Dam. Obviously lakes are still pretty cold right now and our first "lake weekend" is April 23rd at Athens. I'll be wearing the 3mm and the 5mm over the top, hood and gloves!
I know there are loads of TX divers as we meet them all the time on our travels - maybe they're just shy. What Texicans, shy????
