Texas Fluss-Mitte an den Aquarena Frühlingen

Aquarena Mitte

Erklärte einen kritischen Lebensraum 1980, Spring See, das Wasser, das an den Oberläufen des San Marcos Flusses beschlagnahmt wurde, ist zu acht föderativ registrierten Sorten Haupt und wird durch die Richtlinien und die Regelungen der gefährdeten Sorte-Tat von 1973 geregelt. Spring See wird auch registriert, wie ein archäologischer Aufstellungsort durch die Richtlinien des Zustandes des Texas Antiquitäten Gesetzes regelte.

So gibt es kein entspannendes erlaubtes Tauchen. Aquarenas Diving for Science program is a great way to dive in the cleanest and clearest water in Texas while helping with one of the largest habitat restoration projects in the country.  The water is crystal clear and 72 degrees all year.

LEVEL 2 $220

April 21 & 22 and June 9 & 10

Underwater Photography-Taught by David Eation of wetdigital.com, the training will focus on digital photography and computer editing.

Underwater Naturalist- Taught by Aquarena Center Staff, the training will be Aquarena/San Marcos Springs specific and the flora and critters of San Marcos System.

Atlas Missile Silo dive site

Dive Valhalla

The water is 60 degrees, 130 feet deep and crystal clear. The scuba experience is enhanced by realizing that you are diving in an Atlas ‘F’ Hardened Missile Silo that used to store Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs). The silo is 60 feet in diameter and everything is 50-70 feet underground.

Dive Valhalla is not open to the general public, but dive reservations are easily arranged through Family Scuba Center. To reserve, a group must consist of an instructor or insured divemaster who will be responsible for coordinating the diving activities and maintaining safety divers ready for any problems. Dive Valhalla staff help coordinate getting the gear and divers from the dressing room level to the water and back safely, as well as doing some of the underwater photography and videography.

Divers should have prior deep diving experience, or be in an advanced or master class with this as your deep dive. Divers should be in good physical condition and habituate themselves to cold water dives in full gear. Divers from all over the world use Valhalla for advanced open water training in deep diving, altitude dives, nitrox, rebreathers and for other specialty courses. There is no light underwater, so you need a dive light, backup dive light and marker light.

For your convenience, Family Scuba Center has training facilities in one location. Five heated indoor pools (4-17 feet deep), class rooms and scuba shop. Family Scuba Center also conducts open water training in Texas lakes and springs and in the Caribbean and Pacific.
