All of us from north texas are sending good wishes/vibrations your way.
Welcome to the boards and the swamp.
Welcome. When you get a chance, head on over to Lake Travis for a Swamper's style dive experience.
When you get a chance, head to the Caney Creek and take a look at the Civil War steamboat that is still lying in its waters near Sargent.

HI:
I'm about 30 minutes away from you. We're talking about going to Mammoth Lake in Aug. How was it?
Oh and welcome back to Scuba.
Not bad, visibility is nowhere as good as the rigs, but as I don't have a boat I can get there by car. lol
I just took my Nitrox course from Mike, and will do my Advanced Open Water at the beginning of Aug.
I am up for diving there when ever someone wants to go. Also looking for anyone who has dive around Austin how is Lake Travis?

Natasha,
Yes, there are atleast 60 wrecks. Most of them are between 15'-25' run-about boats. But there are also several cabin boats in the mid-30' range. And my favorite wreck is a 60' 1900s Rum Runner sail boat. There is also about a 80' yellow submarine.
The number of divers have been different just about every day. Seems like Saturdays are the busiest days with about 60-100. Fridays and Sundays normally have somewhere around 30-50 people.
Entry is $20 for diver and $10 for non-divers
Air fills are $6 for up to 80 CF and $7 for larger.
I am not sure about viz cause I was busy diving offshore last weekend. I did notice two weeks ago that the alga was really starting to bloom so the vis might be down a little.
