Yes, I dive both 3 to 4 times a year. For the most part Clear Springs I think has a little more visibility, but Athens has a few more things to dive and it is for us more convenient. However, Athens has NO fish and Clear Springs has some pretty big cat fish, bass, and bream. The thing that I don’t like about Clear Springs is that most of the “good” entrances with shade and accommodations are reserved by the dive shops out of Dallas most of the season. Both provide good diving if you are looking for something close and for the weekend.
