New to the board

[SASubaru]

Hi all, just wanted to introduce myself. I'm new to the board and from San Antonio. I just got back into diving after a long layoff. Went to Medina this weekend and had a great time. Any suggestions for places around here to dive after I knock the rust off? I know about Medina, Canyon, and the Comal. Thanks and I hope I see you in the water!

lake travis and aquarena springs have the best depth & visibility, respectfully. don't forget to visit the texas flower gardens national marine sanctuary just offshore, the northernmost coral reef in the world!

Welcome to the Swamp! You are certainly situated in a great place to make contacts with a lot of friendly divers, that's for sure. The primary dive sites have already been listed, but that's only a part of the story...the best part is the people you'll have the chance to dive with "down yonder". Take advantage of the opportunity, and have a great time underwater! Hope to see you on a Swamper outing soon.

If you're up to a drive to Austin, Lake Travis is a great place to practice skills. Windy Point Park private is a private dive park with carts to haul you gear and has air fills, Windy Point Park.
Lake Travis Scuba has charters on the lake that are only accessible by boat, Welcome to Lake Travis Scuba.

If you're up to a drive to Austin, Lake Travis is a great place to practice sills.

What exactly are you doing when you practice "sills"?

To the OP, if you are ever headed to the northern part of the state, give us a shout. I'm sure we can hook you up with some diving. Welcome to the board!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. Lots of great suggestions for dive spots here. A coworker of mine and I are planning some dives this summer so I think we'll hit some of these places up.
