Where Can You Scuba Dive Near Houston?

Texas isn't known for diving, but you can get in the water close to home. If you live in Houston, The Woodlands or Spring, you don't need a plane ticket to start.

These are the sites our students use for open water dives.

Mammoth Lake

One of three sites students pick from for their checkout dives. Entry fees apply. [ADD: your tips, depth, what divers see]

Blue Lagoon

Another choice for open water checkout dives. Entry fees apply. [ADD: your tips, depth, what divers see]

Spring Lake

The third option. The Spring Lake fee is $50 and is seasonal. [ADD: your tips, depth, what divers see]

What you need to dive

You need to be certified. If you aren't yet, our Open Water Diver class covers it. Classroom and pool sessions happen at the shop, and your open water dives happen over one weekend.

Already certified? You'll need gear. We offer rentals if you don't own it all, plus air fills and nitrox fills.

When local diving isn't enough

Local lakes are great for training and practice. When you want reefs and clear water, take a trip. Read our guide: Cozumel vs. Roatan vs. Bonaire.
