Hey everyone,
I'm going to stay in Uvalde for a week in September at a place called Park Chalk Bluff. The have, cabins and campsites, etc along the Nueces river, very nice. We've been going there for years, and we usually just snorkel there but this year I'm going to dive it. Visibility is about 40 ft or so, but it's only about 20 ft deep at best. It's very clean though, and full of fish, snakes, turltes, and large boulders etc.
Anyway more to the point, I'm trying to find a nearby shop to rent/fill tanks, and the closest I've been able to find is in Del Rio for a place called Lake Amistad. So, I was wondering would that lake be worth diving? It would be about a hour and half ride to get the tanks filled, so I thought maybe I'd do a dive there get a refill and head back to camp for an afternoon, or even better, a night dive.
So, does anybody have any ideas on a closer place to fill tanks, or has anyone ever been to Lake Amistad?:banging:
Here's a link to some pictures of Park Chalk Bluff
