I was surprised by the visibility when I first visited there. This year seems to be even better than usual. Now I only wish the depth was doubled... then it would be a perfect little place for some freediving training!
Thanks :) You are right. I didn't know the danger of not taking the snorkel out until I took a freediver course recently - essentially the snorkel keeps the airway open to water. Now I dive with the snorkel out :)
Thank you. No I haven't been to Jacobs well but I heard about and saw videos of people freedive and scuba dive into it. The water is also fed by springs and beautifully clear.. However I heard the underwater tunnels are kinda dangerous - I hesitated about going because of crowd (especially people who cliff jump) and also because I'm not sure if I can resist the urge of entering the tunnels...
Roland Wiederaenders Hey Roland and man liang(sealoving?), I'm moving to Austin in a month and was planning on taking on free diving. I have zero substancial experience other than scuba diving so if you guys know of any place in Austin where to take free diving lessons or if any of you guys would like a dive buddy, I'm all for it. Just let me know through here. Thanks! Irving

wow you can hold your breath a long time!
Fantastic video. Can't wait to go!
Thank you. It's a must-visit place in Austin! The visibility is probably the best in mid week when not many people around.
Holy cow, that is clear!!! Thank you for posting this. This is the deciding factor in whether or not I go to Austin.
Nice! So clear
I went here a couple of days ago and it blew my mind of how awesome this place is. Visibility was low but it was still awesome to check out.
Well done! Just what I was looking for. You are very fortunate to be in such a beautiful place in the springs! Cheers!
Nice! As small as Barton Springs is, it looks like good fun to do a bit of free diving. Great edit by the way.
Thanks! Wish it was deeper/bigger.
Thank you. You have some really nice videos going through the rocks... Dive safe and have fun!

Great vid! I agree about the depth...have you been to "Jacobs Well"? I plan to go soon, It's not real big but decent depth and is super clear.
Thanks :) Glad that you enjoyed it!
haha, on the other side 0% "dislike" so far :P
thanks for watching!
Great video. Do you live in Austin? I just took a freediving class, swim at Barton Springs regularly, am looking for a buddy/training partner.
Thank you. Sorry I'm not doing that much training/diving right now but in summer it might be fun to have some Austin area freediver meetups!

Beautiful video, Super Freedive
Welcome to me
Thank you. The underwater world is so beautiful and different.
Nice location, but please don't freedive with snorkel in your mouth :)
The bottom of the floor looks gross.
Shelly Hughes its a natural site, like the ocean or any lake.
Suck it up and enjoy it
