Windy Point Park is one of the top diving "hot spots" in the Central Texas area. It has been recognized by various divers and instructors from all over the state. Locally, several Fire Rescue and Underwater Rescue Operations use Windy Point Park as a training ground to help save lives.

We offer a wealth of items to find, explore, and seek out in Lake Travis. Divers will find boat wrecks and unique metal sculptures of a scuba diver, a sea turtle, a shark and a manatee along with other interesting objects. There is a jet ski, some small boats, a larger sailboat, a Pinto, and more! ( See the detailed map. ) There are six platforms available for instructors to use for training.

Divers with advanced training and experience, can enjoy the deep underwater canyon wall, plunging to depths well over 100 feet. Dress warmly however- the temperatures at that depth can differ 30 degrees from the surface

Search_Find_needed4me - 7/25/2012 2:51 PM A search and find reward offered on Lake Travis/ Pace Bend Park. I am offering a $200 cash reward for the finding of a waterproof camera lost this past weekend,  07/20, in PACE BEND Park on Lake Travis.  I am solely interested in the photos that I have on this camera. I have created a detailed map and can make myself available for a large group dive in this area as I know the specific area in which it was dropped.  The camera was lost in the specific spot 07/20/2012.  I need to get this camera out before its compartments loose its waterproof capability. I estimate the water is 20-35 feet at most in this area where the camera was dropped. Let me know... Best regards, Chris Clark chrisclarkalways@yahoo.com Richmond, TX 713-927-1860

scubacarly - 6/26/2012 8:01 AM Rating Added: 3 This is where I got my advanced cert. The vis was only 3ft at the time, so not that great for me. Hopefully, if I go there again, the clarity will be better.

badintexas - 8/25/2011 11:29 AM Even swimming along the shore is tough because water is so low. You have to climb over rocks to get to the water.

Greg - 7/24/2011 7:28 PM Viz between 2-8 feet. The deeper the better. Close to shore is very bad viz.

Greg - 7/24/2011 7:27 PM Water level about 35 feet lower than normal. Deepest platform is only 65 feet under water now. Temp: 80 surface, 75 at deep platform. No wetsuits needed right now.

Greg - 6/21/2010 8:40 AM Water was about 80 degrees on the surface and 59 degrees at 100 feet. Viz on the surface was about 5 feet...10 feet of viz around 40 feet and back to 5 feet of viz at 100 feet. Really dark once you start to get past 60 feet, take a flash light or two with you. At 100 feet, I still wasn’t in the trees so the water level was nice and high. Platform 1 is about 25 feet underwater. The first large sailboat moved down further thanks to shifts in the water level last year. It’s now resting on it’s side in 80 feet of water, really dark down there.

Greg - 6/15/2010 10:12 AM Going here this weekend, June 19th and 20th for advanced class. Richard says water level is good.

Divemedic - 7/21/2008 3:55 PM Wendy Point on Lake Travis is a great dive. If your from the Houston area and haven’t visited (camping is the best way to visit), then your missing out. There is a great resturaunt at the top of the hill and your close enough to town so that non-divers can find things to do while your taking care of business.

vyvial - 7/15/2008 2:32 PM This is a great park! There are some pretty cool things to find and the underwater grottos are interesting when you fill them up with air from a pony tank.
