What dive clubs are there in the Houston area? Relocating to the area, can't wait to get away from these dirty old lakes here in Kentucky. Also, how is the visibility in the Gulf in this region?

I lived in Houston for two years and well, I have good news and bad news.
Bad news is the diving community isn't very active. I had a lot more going on when I was in the MidAtlantic. Down in Houston a lot of people are vacation divers only.
I did a number of trips to the Blue Lagoon and Twin Lakes. There was a nice group of people down at Twin Lakes so that's probably the best place to start your search. I went to a few meetings of the Houston Hammerheads but they were really a travel club like I said above.
I did start to get my grove on by making a friend with a boat and getting out to the oil rigs on a regular basis. But that's a rare find. Thankfully I worked for Continental Airlines at the time so Cozumel was but a (mostly) free flight away.
Hope things have improved.
