Windy Point Park Lake Travis scuba dive 7-23-16

Lake Travis, Austin, TX. Temp @ 130' depth 74 F, vis 20-30' at deep depth, only 6-8 feet at 30'
Went to 125' and found edge of pecan grove but was too spooky for me. Small fish were plentiful at shallower depths

Oxygen-depleted water below the thermocline, no fish at that depth.

thank you for the video.
We dove this lake for the 2nd time this past Sunday (8/19/2018), Treasure hunting (mostly lost Sunglasses and anchors).
My wife and I first dove the lake from Windy point, and possibly that same platform for our buoyancy certification (transfer from NAUI/YMCA to PADI) while our two sons completed their dives for their open water PADI certification.
The lake level was so low back in 2014, that the Shark, toilet, and other structures were "up" on the rocky bank, some 30' to 40' above the water's surface when we dove it.

That's SO COOL! And great video! I've always wanted to do that in the lake, but I've only done free diving at depths at only 20-25 feet. I really want to go at the depths in your video. Just one question, do you know the deepest point? Of so hoe deep?

[@thediveshoplufkin2902]

the deepest that i went on this video was 120 feet- i know the lake is much deeper than that

The Dive Shop Lufkin Wow!

I've heard the lake goes 300+ feet deep, but recreational scuba limits are 130 ft. I believe you need special gear/training to dive deeper. I'm going there Saturday, can't wait!
