 Texas is not well known for its crystal clear lake water, but that does not discourage the very large and active community of Texas scuba and snorkeling fans. The Lone Star State is known for it’s diversity and the same is true for Texas diving – clear water can be found in natural springs, in any of the seven major rivers, at some of Texas lakes, and in the Gulf of Mexico.
According to Dive Texas, here are the top 10 ways to recognize a Texas Diver:
- Their weight belt has a huge silver buckle
- They wear cowboy boots with their fins cuz “they are broke in”
- They have long horns on their masks
- They wear a shinny bowie knife on their thigh
- Their fin spurs have a star with five points
- They wear Levi 501 button down jeans (with heavy starch) as a wet suit
- They wear straw cowboy hats underwater
- A 30’ lasso is attached to their tank
- Leather gloves dangle from the shoulder straps
- They learned scuba diving to lasso and ride a sea cow
- Dive Texas has great scuba content on events, news, clubs, and other diving resources
