Wat u kunt niet weten is dat Texas sommige zeer ongebruikelijke duikvluchten heeft. Drie in deze post, Park van de Scuba-uitrusting van Athene, Centrum Aquarena en Valhalla zijn ongeveer zo verschillend zoals nacht en dag.

Verklaarde naar huis een kritieke habitat in 1980, het Meer van de Lente, het water dat bij de bovenloop van de Rivier van San in beslag wordt genomen Marcos, is aan acht federaal vermelde soorten en wordt gereglementeerd door de bepalingen en de verordeningen van het Bedreigde Akte van Soorten van 1973. Het Meer van de lente wordt ook als Archeologische plaats geregistreerd die door de regels van de staat van de Wet van de Antiquiteiten van Texas wordt gereglementeerd.
So, there is no recreational diving allowed. Aquarena’s 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 1 Scientific Diver Authorization course $220
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 Archaeology- This program will take up where Dr. Shiner left off. The two day program will be taught by Texas State Anthropology staff and include lots of diving and work underwater.
March 17 and May 19
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.
Note: Below the dam that impounds the lake, you may snorkle and scuba dive for miles down the San Marcos River, the natural aquarium of Texas.
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.
