Hello all. I started jumping in the water in the 90s; did a lot of shore diving in SoFla and the Keys. Life got in the way which took me away from the sport - it happens - but now I'm back to getting under the water. In January I spent some time in the Keys and made some dives and I'm hooked (again). I also jump out of airplanes and now I plan to be scuba diving whenever the wind doesn't allow skydiving.

Welcome from a fellow North Texan! If you ever want to dive locally, hit me up. I'm almost always game to go blow bubbles.

@Cha Wie - Texas Flower Gardens, you'll love it. Far better diving than anything I ever saw in the Keys.

Cool. Where do you dive "locally"? In the Denton area?

In Denton, but just barely.

I just realized I totally read this post wrong. I read as "Where do you LIVE locally?" Oops!

I normally dive at Scuba Ranch in Terrell, but there's also Athens Scuba Park in Athens and a few people dive Wheeler Branch reservoir in Glen Rose. I haven't made any dives out there yet, as there are no facilities out there to get tank refills, etc. But I've recent grown my tank collection to 4 AL80's so I could make a full day of diving out there at this point. Just waiting on the weather to warm up. I think I've heard that you can make deep dives out there to about 80-85 ft. And there are a few things sunk out there for training purposes, like a school bus, etc. Once it warms up I may head out there one weekend to check it out. We like to hike Dinosaur Valley anyway. And I keep saying I'm going to make a dive in the Blue Hole out there.

Yeah as soon as I want to become a PSD, I'll hit you up and start training out there!
