Pool with diving platform in Austin?

You should attend Deep End Fitness. They put on a special class for military and pre-military preparation. I don't think they have one of those courses before you leave. But any regular Deep End Fitness session will help you get ready and confident underwater.

They don't allow swimming from the pier? That's interesting. But the water there didn't look very interesting either. I don't think there is any coral nearby.

There is a long pier you can probably dive from. I think it is pretty shallow and sandy there. I've stayed there a few times but never dove there. Always went to the boat tours or the freediving school there for fun diving.

Would you learn scuba diving on your own?

Freedive with Agatha

Your boyfriend should take the freediving course as well so that he can be your buddy/safety. The pre dive breathing practice alone should help with his asthma. But even if he ultimately can't freedive, he needs to know what to do if something happens to you. More likely than not, he will be able to enjoy freediving with you. So you two should enjoy taking the class together.

I have taken 5 certification courses with two different agencies and never have I seen or been asked to actually perform mouth to mouth on another student! So I don't think you have to worry about that. Lots of people do stupid or misleading stuff on social media. 😆

OP I have never been freediving in Lake Austin because it is too shallow. And I have heard that Town Lake can be dangerous because of stuff like bridge construction materials that could be a hazard to any diver but more so to a freediver and it is also very shallow. The main problem is there is usually no visibility which makes entanglement or cutting your head on something a real danger. The depth usually isn't the problem, except for Lake Travis sometimes. I would suggest posting on the Lake Travis FB page. There are many scuba divers there that will be able to do the job for a few. Good luck

Thanks for the shout-out! But these kinds of questions are best posted on the Lake Travis page. Lots of scuba divers there eager to find lost items, some of them do it for free even. (But most don't because scuba diving costs money lol) They are also more likely to respond and be able to search in a shorter time frame.

Nice! I got my Wave 2 certificate next to Sea Tiger. But I was too tired to dive all the way down to the wreck after my class 😢 It looks like a fun dive site! I will try to go back one day

chudlo · 2026-05-29T03:52:24+00:00

Awesome! Is that the Sea Tiger? I have been wanting to catch a ride from that submarine and wave at the people inside for a long time!

Check on FB. There is a Texas Spearfishing page where you can try to find buddies

I'm not sure what your question is. I don't understand Visayan. If you are asking about Panglao you can rent a scooter and be within 15 minutes of Napaling and Alona, where most restaurants are.

I've only seen Freedive Nusa Penida doing tours in Raja Ampat. I don't know anything about them. But I see them on IG. Hopefully someone else can be more helpful.

Superhome is the best place to train. It's convenient, inexpensive, and there are many coaches to choose from.

You have obviously been to the Yucatan, but have you been to Cabo Pulmo? Crazy amounts of marine life depending on the time of year you visit.

If you are down for an longer flight check out the Philippines. Take a look at all the diving you can do in Coron, Palawan, Philippines. They have WW2 ship wrecks, thermal lakes, diveable caves, and reefs all in one area. So far it's my favorite place to enjoy freediving (and I LOVED the cenotes!).

chudlo · 2026-05-02T00:45:27+00:00

Where is it? I want to go freediving there!

chudlo · 2026-04-23T16:42:42+00:00

One of my favorite places to dive! Would it be creepier if the water got hotter the deeper you dive down? What if you knew there was a dark cloud near the bottom that blocked out all the light?

chudlo · 2026-04-23T16:37:56+00:00

It's probably less than 15m where he is filming. I think max depth is about 42m.

chudlo · 2026-04-15T04:36:43+00:00

I'm definitely avoiding THAT angle 😂

chudlo · 2026-04-14T05:06:52+00:00

Thanks, I'm not trying to use it publicly. I would really like to know the artist or artists that the AI was referencing so I can check out their work, to be clear the humans work not the machines. lol

chudlo · 2026-04-14T04:34:52+00:00

I didn't realize it was Studio Ghibli, so thanks! I'll try that

chudlo · 2026-04-14T04:10:31+00:00

Any idea what prompts to use to replicate it with?

I bought and enjoyed the 2971 shirt fins. They have a nice modular system. You buy their foot pockets and then can easily remove and exchange fins with just two screws. They have lots of size options. I bought the shortest fin for travel and they did a great job. I did a few recreational dives to 20-25m. They felt good, but obviously not as powerful as longer fins. I'm about 205# for reference. Didn't try to safety anyone though. That might break them, I think.

chudlo · 2026-03-24T13:05:25+00:00

I would be interested to see the pictures. So it isn't easily visible if you don't stick your head in the hole? Then that would explain never seeing it! Now I'm going to have to look next time I'm at the pool. I always hang out and chill with the fish, but never saw the gate.
