Well let's see it, your pics! I found this picture of me gearing up to dive at Scuba Point, Possum Kingdom, September 1998. I was certified in Oklahoma, in August 1998, but dove Possum Kingdom more than 100 times and the majority of those dives were in 1998-2000. Do any other Texas Swamp Divers...

Vis was 10 plus feet, water temp was 60 degrees. I finally made it out to dive, after being out of the water for a couple of months. Since my FG trip got scrubbed with Troy, I was just ready to get in the water, any water. CSSP only had about 20 to 30 people that I could see. There was no one...

Wow, visibility sucked today. I fear this is the way it's going to be the rest of the summer. Good news is there were tons of divers out there at CSSP so the economy can't be all that bad. Lots of classes and it's the middle of the month! Troy, and I and 2 of our friends went out to try out my...
