wuzaracer - 10/03/2016 8:51 AM I went scuba diving here on 10/1/2016. Average viz: Under 5ft/2m. Water temp: 81-85°F/27-29°C. I went with scuba diving with Transformation Scuba and the Project Aware/Dive Against Debris project. The purpose is to document and cleanup underwater debris at the local fishing/scuba dive location. We picked up 80lbs of debris in only a 40 yard stretch of the rocks. Entry/exit is tricky, you have to find a section of rocks that will allow you to gear up and then do a slow control seated entry. Exiting the water is equally tricky. Then add in the complication of waves created by passing boats. There is sea life to be seen, but the day I went the conditions were poor. The sandy bottom near the rocks was about 20 feet below, my max depth for that dive was 21 feet.

rashley - 3/04/2014 10:58 PM I went scuba diving here on 2/15/1990. Average viz: Under 5ft/2m. Water temp: 50-55°F/10-13°C. Certification dive at Port A jetties. Cold doesn’t describe it. Couldn’t take more than 10 min. in wet suit. Got out warmed up, packed up and headed to San Marcos to dive the 72 degree river instead to finish up my cert dives.

fasttalker31 - 8/13/2012 11:33 AM Rating Added: 2 We had 2-6 foot vis in the morning. Saw plenty of smaller fish within the rocks, and stingrays on the bottom. After lunch no vis at all, had the use the compass to get around. There was just way to much traffic with all the barges and smaller boats.
