Many years after becoming certified, I started diving again last year, and my dive experience is less than 40 dives. I dive in a shallow spring-fed lake near my home. The maximum depth is 23 feet and we are usually at 8 to 10 feet, so the surface is nearby and it is not too scary. Last...

...if this has already been addressed somewhere else, please send me the link. I purchased older, used equipment which I use to dive in a very clean, spring-fed lake (freshwater). I haven't been really cleaning anything since the water is so pure. When I dive, I wear a tank, BC, regulator...

Aqua Ruins: Old resort is fading as new incarnation nears Local News San Marcos Record, San Marcos, TX

Just wanted to review the basic concepts of SCUBA at home. I didn't keep any of my notes or books from my certification class. Thanks!

I didn't dive for 8 years after getting certified, then after that trip I didn't dive for 16 years. This year I got back into diving and have logged about 10 dives. Am I missing anything if I just keep getting my diving experience in the water? Should I consider getting re-certified...

I understand that YMCA is no longer certifying divers. I still have (and use) my C-card, even though I don't have a lot of dives under my belt. Should I seek out any training to supplement what I learned from YMCA back in the day? Any thoughts appreciated.

I am a SCUBA diver; my husband is not. We both enjoy snorkeling the crystal-clear San Marcos. We usually get in near the Lion's Club tube rental area. Anyone else enjoying this? What is the strangest thing you've found in the river?

There were a lot of open water classes that day, as well as the diving for science class I was taking. Would be glad to get the bag back - I had borrowed it from my husband and he is grumpy about it going missing. :-)

...there were a lot of divers around due to open water classes going on, and I was in the Diving for Science class. Someone accidentally picked up my mesh dive bag, which had a new "dive towel" in it that came with my wet suit, and maybe a couple of other small items, I don't remember. It...

This website has a lot of help on identifying aquatic vegetation of Florida (which overlaps quite a bit with the plants in Texas waters), including short ID videos (!): Plants by Scientific Name | Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants Does anyone have other sources of info they are...

Quickest = easiest = cheapest way?

Last I heard the dive program would be suspended in November for the removal of the submarine theater.

It's a pretty old set I bought used. If I needed to help a buddy, they would have to breathe off the mouthpiece on my BC, which is attached to a short hose. I dive the same shallow spring-fed lake all the time, so there isn't much call for buddy breathing. Should I buy a new octopus-type...

I need some shorter fins to snorkel in an area where I want to do the least damage to the bottom, should I touch down. I would not be covering long distances or battling a strong current, so I can give up power in exchange for the shorter fin. Thoughts?

I got certified back in college but haven't dived much since. I recently got authorized to dive as a volunteer in the Spring Lake program in San Marcos, Texas. I plan to get out there at least once a month and help remove nuisance vegetation, clean and do other volunteer tasks in the...
