This is not a recommended place to dive! Many divers have died here! But swiming and free diving are allowed.
One of the world’s most dangerous dive sites:
m.chron.com/news/houston-texas/texas/article/One-of-t...sites-is-5055541.php12 scuba divers have died at the site. The dive was eventually declared so dangerous it was sealed off. "You can go down 40 feet but then you hit a metal grate," says Paul Hesley of Canyon Lake Divers. Only specially permitted scientific divers are allowed in now.
