The 2.5-mile Comal River is one of the largest springs in Texas with 8 million gallons every hour. The water is pure, clear, and about 73 degrees year round, and attracts thousands of tubers.

Up to eight (8) people per team - divers and non-divers are welcome.

Team members may rotate between diving and grounds crew, as long as at least two members are out of the water at all times.

Look for this truck and sign in the fair grounds parking lot...meet near the divebuddy.com sign in the morning for registration!

Hey Mike, Becky ordered the DiveBuddy flag, we’ll bring it with us to fly on the back of one of our trucks in the parking lot...that will be our meeting place in the morning.


Also, send out an update to everyone that has RSVP’d and ask them to buy a divebuddy t-shirt if they don’t already have one: http://www.cafepress.com/divebuddy


They should get the shirt in time for the trash fest. It usually only takes a couple days for them to arrive after the order is placed.

badintexas...you’re the best (and hottest looking) surface support that any dive group could hope to have. And don’t worry...one day you’ll become a diver!

I RSVP’d but I’m a non diver.
