Athens Scuba Park

I've never been to the Athens Scuba Park .

I just learned about this diving lake located in Athens, TX. The website looks great! The water looks nice. Spring fed warm water, visibility averaging about 35', 25' deep, 12 docks and lots to look at. There are about 30 underwater wrecks to swim through, there is a Greyhound bus, a double deck houseboat and a C-140 Jet Star plane! There is a fully stocked dive shop on site from which to rent gear as well as tanks. There is camping RV sites available, a pool and hot tub, and bath house too.

That I'd like to see.

Blue Lagoon

I've never been to Blue Lagoon.

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.

Mammoth Lake

I've never been to Mammoth Lake .

This is a newly opened lake for scuba divers in the area. Here they found the tusk and skull of a mammoth, along with remains of a five foot armadillo and giant sloth. They have added some features for underwater viewing.

Each section of the lake will have a theme. There is a Bus Stop with old buses to view. There is a space themed area with an F-5 fighter jet and other NASA remains. There is also the old Looping Starship ride from Astroworld.

Another Astroworld attraction has found a new home in Mammoth Lake. Some track from the Mayan Mindbender can be found here. There will be a Bermuda Rectangle and a Jurassic area as well.

The dive site was opened as a need was seen for local divers. Many people living here on the coast get certified to dive, but then had no where to go. This new lake will house a full service dive shop as well as give lessons and do the open water dives all on site.

Scubish.com

I had never been to Scubish.com before.

This new website would have been perfect to help us plan our very first scuba diving trip this last summer. I hope to be able to put this site to use in the near future. My husband and I loved our "discover scuba diving" class so much that we hope to get certified, along with our kids. Then we can begin planning family Scuba Diving trips!

That I'd like to see.
