    Wow, nice video. I remember diving at Comal Park in back in 1972 with a group from San Antonio called the Alamo Baracudas. I was certified at 16 years old. Back then we had steel tanks (72cu ft) with a J valve that would cut off at 300psi, then you could pull a rod open the valve and you would have 300 psi to ascend gracefully, a single regulator, no Buoyancy Compensator. I was certified by YMCA. Also made many dives at North Park and at that time there was a 1930's Ford Coupe at about 45'. Been diving ever since. It is the most relaxing thing you can do. Hope all divers will help clean up all the trash as best they can.

    Beautiful dive. Out of all the dive videos, I have yet to see black coral. My uncle gave my mom black coral before it was illegal to pick them, and that was decades ago. I just moved out of hawaii, and I gave the coral to my dtr. I wasn't going to take the chance to pack it in the POD. Its more sentimental than the value of it.

    Thanks for this informative video. We live in the area and my kids take the boat out all the time, but the lake is so low now. It's sad too. I'm working in Del Rio, contract job, and talked to a man who works at the Department of the Interior, Federal level. He came to my office with some paper work for me to fill out for the city. We were talking about what they did at Lake Amistad. The federal government removed a million tons of trash and debris out of the lake because it's so low. The project is now complete and the reason for the paper work. I was told they take pride in their lake here in Del Rio and want it safe for everyone to enjoy. What a wonderful thing they did for this lake. I wish other lakes would follow suit, especially Medina Lake as it only has 2.6% of water in it currently. So sad. We need rain God, please! Have you dived Lake Amistad? It's gorgeous!!!!
