Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at The Scuba Ranch
A great local dive site near the DFW Metroplex. It is a spring fed 22 acre lake/quarry. Visibility is usually good. It is limited to divers and snorkelers--no boating or fishing. Catfish and perch abound. There are a number of interesting objects to discover underwater--an American Airlines plane, a boat, and an artificial shark are all marked with buoys but there is also a casket that you might just find while out exploring. Air fills on site. Picnic shelters. Camping. Hot showers in a bath house. www.clearspringsscubapark.com--is their website
From Dallas: Take Hwy. 80 East to Terrell exit. Once you exit, you will proceed 7 miles passing through the downtown area of Terrell and turn left at the Exxon (429 North). Travel 7 miles to Cedar Grove Road (Cty Rd 346) and tur4n right. Go 1 mile and the gate entrance is on our left. Be sure to look for the Dive Flag sign.

This is nice site for a tuning your skills after a winter off or a few years off. My dive buddy and I enjoy going out for the day just to get away (Since we live in Dallas it isn't far) and hang out and dive. They rent tanks and provide refills. The site has multiple skills platforms along with other sunken items. Since this is a fresh water spring the water is cool to cold so I recommend a wetsuit (even in August). There is a thermal at around 26ft that gets chilly. Highly recommend this site for new divers practicing their skills.
