Depending on where you live, Balmorhea State Park could be one heck of a long drive. Texas is a pretty big state :) My family and I visited the springs on our way out to California last year. We had a wonderful time..in fact, we didn’t want to leave the springs. I didn’t scuba dive, just snorkeled. Water is pretty shallow (about 20 feet deep max near the spring). The fish are awesome! Lots of black catfish and small silver fish. The diving boards are a lot of fun for the kids (and kids at heart :) I couldn’t believe the clarity of the water. Be prepared for a cold shock!

Here is the dive site on DiveBuddy, I just uploaded some photos from our trip:

I hope you have a great time there!
