Got a link? I found Rock Hole ranch near Houston, and a rock hole swimming hole on the Neches River. There are probly more places called that. There is a camp site by that name in that forest: Official Guide to Texas Wildlife ... - Google BooksI never heard of it till I read your post. So I did a Google search and found a picture. Looks good in the picture. I will have to drive down there next year and check it out. Thanks for the post. It's always good to hear about a possible site around here.
"Holes" are indeed very often spring fed, clear water, colder diving, with enticing niches I'd be leery of. By the time I gear up with a 7 mil, enough lead & pony bottle at Blue Hole in NM, then walk across the parking lot, I am thankful for the concrete stairs and handrails if I can get the gawkers to get off of their asses to let me use it. Some places some people dive, I'd want a mule to carry my gear to the site, a valet to help me gear up without a tailgate, and certainly help crawling out on muddy banks. Had to do that once, on my hands and knees.
I suppose I am overly cautious about emergency risks, but watching half a dozen divers leave sites in ambulances over the years can do that to a fellow.
