    Divers North-Northwest-West of Ft. Worth

    I would definitely be interested as I'm in the Saginaw/Lake Worth area. I'll keep checking back to see if something is up here.

    Dive buddy(ies) needed for this + next weekend?

    I'm hoping to get out to CSSP next weekend myself. My back decided to start acting up again today though, so I'll have to see how the next week goes before I make the 3 hour round trip.

    Newish lake out west of Fort Worth???

    I remember hearing about a year ago that there was a new lake flooded in about a year or so ago somewhere out west of Fort Worth. I really don't remember anything more about it but I'm definitely curious as to if it's dive friendly or not. Being on out on the west side myself it would be great...

    Best motion/seasick meds for divers...

    I'm going to be heading out on my first potentially rough water ocean diving this coming weekend. A group of us is heading down to S Padre, TX to go dive the Texas Clipper and one of the oil rigs. I've heard the Gulf can get rather rough so I figure better to be safe than sorry. I've been on...

    What to wear at Aquarena???

    I'm heading down to Aquarena for the Scientific Diver cert this weekend. I'm wondering if most people down there wear just a shorty or if they go with a 3 or 5 mil full? I think it's about 72F year round, and this seems like it might be cool for a shorty, but I'm not sure.

    Best noobie setup around $800 or less...

    I'm looking to getting an underwater camera mainly for vacations and such. I've been thinking about the SeaLife DC12000 Elite system which is about $800. I also saw an add for the Nikon Coolpics L24 with housing and a strobe for a little under $800. Would one of these be a better option than...

    Mammoth Lake

    I think I'm going to have to try and get down that way sometime this summer. I need to try and hit a lot of new places to complete the Dive Across Texas thingy anyway. I really hope that the vis holds for the coming months as I know it's probably going to be mid to late June at the absolute...

    Flower Gardens Trip - June 2nd - 3rd 2011

    I'm seriously jealous, but I'm pretty sure the budget won't cover that. We just got back from a Disney cruise to St Maarten, St Thomas, and the Bahamas. I was able to get in my first ocean dive down in St Thomas, so that was pretty awesome. Unfortunately, even if the fundage wasn't a problem...

    Grand Cayman next summer...

    The wife and I are beginning to plan next year's vacation to Grand Cayman probably in July. We are looking at staying at the Morritt's Grand, and we found some dive packages with an outfit called Red Sail Sports. I'm looking at their 3 day dive package, and the we are also planning on some...

    When does Travis warm up???

    For those veterans out there... When does Lake Travis typically warm up? I'm curious because I want to hit the water as early as possible this year. We are taking a Disney cruise in early May and I'm signed up for a dive excursion in St. Thomas. I really want to get my feet wet again as...

    Good winter diving in Texas

    I've never been, but I hear you will enjoy the climb also. I've heard it's like 4 stories, but that could be an exaggeration.

    Where to dive Lake Murray???

    OK. How do I get to the park? Google Maps is letting me down. I'm not having any luck at all finding where I need to be going once I get in the area of the lake.

    Where to dive Lake Murray???

    I'm planning on heading up to dive at Lake Murray this Sunday. The problem is I don't have a clue WHERE to dive at Lake Murray. Can someone hook me up with some info on where to dive there? Lake conditions would be great to know also. Thanks in advance.

    Stillhouse Hollow recommendations???

    A buddy and I are planning to head down to dive Stillhouse this coming weekend and neither of us have ever been there before. Anyone have any recommendations as to where to dive? Having never been there, I don't know what there is to see and from where. Ideally I'd like to see any goodies...

    Official Swamper Campout Sept 10-11

    It was pretty good. The scenery was really awesome, but I wasn't overly impressed with the food. It's definitely not bad, but I probably won't go out of my way to go there.

    Just got certified in Monterey!

    I tend to agree with this logic myself, and this is the plan I'm following also. I just completed dives 11 and 12 yesterday morning. These were my first dives at a location other than where I certified, and were also my first boat dives. This was also my first dive into chocolate milk, and I...

    Official Swamper Campout Sept 10-11

    I wish I'd had the time to make it over there to Windy Point to at least say hey, but after the diving we headed straight for Iguana Grill for some grub. From Iguana, it was on the road for the long drive home. I really hope that everyone had a good time and has fun at the cleanup tomorrow.

    Official Swamper Campout Sept 10-11

    Well, today was a great day out there on the Giant Stride. We got out to Starnes Island and the Cypress Wall. The vis was actually pretty good, or so I thought with about 8 feet or so down to about 35 to 40 feet. However beyond 40 feet it turned into chocolate milk with vis under 2 feet. I rode...

    Official Swamper Campout Sept 10-11

    So anyone been in the water to checkout the vis today? I'm definitely curious what it's going to be like tomorrow.

    Official Swamper Campout Sept 10-11

    I was wondering if anyone was planning on getting together Friday evening maybe for dinner. I'm going to suggest the Hooters in Round Rock right off I-35 and Louis Henna Blvd. I'll be heading there from Fort Worth and probably getting there between 7 and 8 depending on traffic. Just a thought.
