Taking scuba students to Comal River and to Lake Amistad.

[Laredo Scuba Diver]

Laredo Scuba Diving Club will be taking four scuba students to practice their open water skills. We will be taking our students one weekend, to Lake Amistad, in Del Rio, Texas and one weekend, to the Comal River, in New Braunfels, Texas. Having a wonderful time with our future divers.

How deep was Comal River?

 

[PeppermintPaddi]

Close to the dam, if you wiggle down into the sand a little, you can usually find 12'. Most of it is 8ish in the middle and 4ish at some of the banks.

Hello Dannod,

The deepest point at Comal River is at exactly 15 feet. That is where I have seen some dive clubs do their check out dives. I believe 15 feet is Padi standard.

Laredo, where is it 15 feet? I usually enter through Prince Solms Park entrance, go to the third set of stairs up river and drift to the first set of stairs right before the tube chute. I've never registered anything over 10 feet on my computer or depth gauge.

We have been chartering OW checkout dive classes to various locations on Lake Travis. Contact us if you are interested in taking out your group. Trip Reports are posted on Facebook at Lake Travis Scuba.

What is the water temp at Travis?

15 feet is located diectly in front of the steps, where the picnic tables are, there is a ring at the bottom, so divers can clip their float for divers. I measured the bottom of the river with my depth console gauge. I sits at exactly 15 feet. I measured this in October.

What is the water temp at Travis?

Looks like 67F, pretty much isothermal to 60ffw.

This is a great site for keeping tabs on water temps near the dam:
