I just learned about this diving site last night. This diving-only lake is located in Huntsville, TX, about 65 miles north of Houston. It was built and is used only for diving classes and open water divers. There are actually two lakes for divers to enjoy. Accommodations are taken to help keep classes together and confusion to a minimum.
Upgrades to the site are always in progress. They are looking for more wrecks to sink for open water divers. The most inviting thing about Blue Lagoon is the clear water. It has been said that Houston area divers think the only place to go for clear water diving is Cozumel, Mexico. Many have been surprised by the clear water of Blue Lagoon. The water here stays clear because of the low pH, brought about because the water is filtered by the pine needles that surround the low land area of the lake. This lowers the pH, keeping the water free from algae, making visibility clear. They have tried to raise the pH before to bring in fish, but the algae became a problem. They decided the trade off for clear water was worth it.
That I'd like to see.
