Where Divers Meet In Southwest Texas!
Enjoying the sport of scuba diving all starts with education. Not just learning about how to dive, but how to be safe, how to be responsible both above water and below. It's about interacting with an environment that not much more than 1% of the world engages in. And every time you dive you open yourself up to learning more about yourself, other divers and the world around you.
One of the main reasons we dive is the adventure of it. Diving brings a whole new twist to travel, experience and connection with the aquatic environment. Since most of the world's species are actually under water, the encounters you can have with animals and plant life you've never even heard of before can be the most exciting and memorable of your life!
Last, but certainly not least, it's FUN! One fact not well known outside the dive community is that you get HUNGRY after a dive. So, rarely do you see a group of divers getting together without a healthy spread of food around. After all, you have to have something to do during your surface interval, right? Well, what better way to spend that time than to relax, eat, re-hydrate and share great stories with each other?
