Stopped by there today and it looks about as clear as Lake Travis. I was wondering if anyone had ever dove there or anywhere in the San Gabriel river around Georgetown.
Anyone dive Blue Hole in Georgetown

Thats a great question.
I used to go there all the time to jump off the cliffs before they closed that down. Was a really fun place back in the day....

'Cause it's a deeper hole in the river that looks blue? Or green. 
According to
San Gabriel River of Texas one of the last alligators on the San Gabriel was trapped in the Blue Hole in 1897. Alligator Creek feeds the San Gabriel.

A friend and I dove it back three or four years ago, not much to see but feet and mud inches in front of your mask.

Yeah, probably not worth wasting a tank of air to check it out.

So, I stumbled upon this thread today after a google search. I was just there and the water is clear enough for a shake down. I would like to head out there tomorrow morning for the firsh check dive of the season. Anyone want to join? I know this is a dead topic, but hopefully this will get it back up to the top!

Noone showed up, but I didnt dive because my octo purge button is frozen solid. I will be back out there this afternoon.

Did you ever get to dive in?
Long time passsed since last thread but just saw this and I'm planning on going down there this Saturday. I dived it several times during the spring of 2012. Viz ranged from 10 ft to 20 ft easily. Max depth is 14 ft. You can swim up stream as far as you want. No current. Plenty of fish and plant life, especially on the wall where folks jump. It was just as enjoyable, maybe even more than the Comal and a lot closer for me. Beginning of summer though, the algae forms on the surface and not very inviting.
