Scuba Info: Not sure what the whole story is here yet about scuba diving. It’s not deep and has a lot of hydrilla plants growing. Lots of canoes and kayaks on the water. Dove here once near Texas Rowing Center to recover a lost cell phone. From kayaking here, I can see there are some spots below that appear to have good vis.
