Hey divers... Buoyant Life Scuba Diving and East Texas Scuba Divers will be heading to Broken Bow Ok on May 21st to have a little R&R. This will also be a Project aware DAD dive trip... but will mainly be a chance for divers to get out and start the season off.

We hope to see you there!!!

So being an EMT, I live by the philosophy that if you don’t write it down, it didn’t happen. That being said, I currently have 995 dives logged so I will be logging my 1000th dive this weekend at Athens Scuba Park with the help of my DMs and a few students. If youre in the area, come by for a vist!

Been hitting Athens Scuba Park a lot lately, and will be there again this weekend for anyone who wants to join. Ill have a class of 5 OW divers but will have time to play outside of their dives.

Valhalla missile silo will be in August as well, so if anyone is interested... PM me!

Keep diving my friends!!!!

Hey group... just wanted to let everyone know we will be at Lake Hawkins (in Hawkins Tx) this Saturday the 12th for some training. If anyone wants to come out and check out the site... let me know. Last week the viz was poor... but it still offers a great place to get some training if youre in the market. Water temp was 62 degrees. Hope to see you there!
Badlander316 - 9/02/2015 2:59 PM
So... me and the Buoyant Life Scuba Diving gang will be at Clear Springs Scuba Park this Saturday from about 10AM until 5PM. Come out and visit us and lets get together and make some bubbles!!!

It should be great conditions there this time of year. The water will be as warm as it gets. Have fun.

So... returned from our Honeymoon in NASSAU and I must say congrats to my wife Bregan and my buddy Scott Morgan for completing their Master Scuba Diver Certification. We had such a great trip... hated to leave. Wonderful shark dives and lots of beautiful aquatic life to see. Highly recommend the crew of the Sea Explorer from Blackbeards Cruises.

To all my diver friends out there... we will be making a dive this Saturday (10th) at Broken Bow lake in Ok. If youre interested and need some info, let me know. Hope to see you out there! Bryan

I hope y’all had fun. Maybe someday I’ll find someone who wants to carpool from DFW to dive it.
Badlander316 - 5/10/2014 8:35 PM
It was pretty good... Great weather, decent viz, and lots of wildlife
Nitediver - 5/07/2014 11:17 AM
Thanks for the add!
Nitediver - 5/05/2014 4:45 AM
Did your friends dive this? Have you gotten any feed back from them. Me and a buddy plan to dive there Tuesday May 6 2014. Wondering if it was worth the dive and if so a good/bad entry point.
Thanks

We dove it Saturday... Id say for the trip, i would dive somewhere else. The vis was terrible. Several boats said it was the worse they have seen. My fiance believes its probably turning, so itll be normal in a couple of weeks. Tempatures were great though.
Badlander316 - 5/05/2014 5:39 AM
We entered at the boat ramp. We just parked off to the side and walked in. Drops off quick, but never gets below 8-10 ft in the boat launch cove.
