Although I have been on ScubaBoard for quite some time, this will be my first post in any sort of official capacity, so let me introduce myself:
My name is Chris Ledford and I am the Diving Safety Officer and Artificial Reef Specialist for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Artificial Reef Program.
I am currently compiling a list of diving operators along the Texas coast, and would love some help from my fellow swamp divers to create as complete a list as possible.
Professionally , I am doing it for a couple reasons: First, it will be a step in establishing the extent of “loss” due to the Deepwater Horizon spill, and second we would like to figure out how the artificial reefs in Texas are being used. We can get decent fishing data, but diving information is much harder to come by. A list of operators would be helpful for both of these objectives.
Personally, I just think we should have a running list of people that are willing to take divers out diving.
So if you have any additions or updates to the following list, please let me know, or post below.
Thank you,
Chris Ledford
