Dive Ready Night for the Tom's Dive Team (05/08/2026)

Fri, 08 May 2026 23:30:00 GMT

DIve Ready Night

Tom's Dive Team - Education Series

Understanding Regulators & Diver Preparedness

Dive Ready Night is an education‑first event designed to help divers build real‑world understanding they can immediately apply. Instead of focusing on sales or promotion, this evening is about learning how key systems work and how preparation supports safer, more confident diving.

During the night, we’ll break down how scuba regulators work, why setup and design choices matter underwater, and how Stress & Rescue training plays a critical role in diver preparedness. With Mares and SSI representatives on hand, the session connects equipment knowledge, modern regulator technology, and real‑world diving readiness.

Click here for full details on the Tom's Dive & Swim website.

What You'll Learn

How scuba regulators work and what actually matters underwater
Why regulator design and configuration affect breathing effort and comfort
How modern regulator technology (including the Mares Planet 88X) translates to real‑world diving
How Stress & Rescue training supports awareness, confidence, and early problem management

Who Should Attend

This event is ideal for:

Certified divers looking to better understand their equipment
Divers researching future gear decisions
Instructors and dive professionals
Anyone who enjoys learning how diving systems really work

No advanced technical background is required.

Continue the Experience

Want to take what you learned into the water? Join us the following day at Lake Travis for the Mares Planet 88X Demo Day, where you can experience these concepts during guided in‑water demo dives.

Pizza and drinks will be provided.

Mammoth Lake Texas (08/15/2026)

Sat, 15 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT

Come Join Us!

Mammoth Lake Texas

One of our favorite Texas lake dives is Mammoth Lake. An over 60 acres of lake with tons to see. We have dove there many times and have yet to see it all. There are training platforms, buses, train cars, a fire ladder truck with its ladder extended to the surface, a metal mammoth sculpture made from a cement mixer barrel, "boat-henge" (one of our favorites) and a full C130 cargo plane that you can swim through (a crowd favorite), and much much more. One of the great things about diving here is the underwater lines with brass markers stating what's at the end of the lines. So, easy to get around.

Mammoth Lake Texas is a freshwater lake that is completely natural. The visibility will vary depending on where you are in the lake, the depth, and the time of year you are diving. Visibility is affected by weather (temperature, wind, rain, and sunlight). Lake visibility ranges from 5' to 45' throughout the year.

We will have a grill out and will serve lunch, drinks and snacks. Please let me know if you have any particular dietary restrictions.

Please sign up early so we know how much food to bring.

What to bring:

Your SCUBA certification card.
All your scuba gear and tanks. The Mammoth Lake Texas may have some rental gear in a pinch but, it's better that you bring everything that you'll need.
Camp/lawn chairs. We already have a good number of people signed up so, we'll run out of picnic table space quick. Bring something else to sit on.
Extra shade if you have it. An extra popup canopy or two would be a good thing to help keep everyone cool.
Ground tarps to keep your gear clean(er). We'll have a lot of tarp space available but, we could run out.
Also, the unofficial Texas State Bird (mosquito) in this area is amazingly large and equally aggressive. Bug spray is a must.

Valhalla Missile Silo Dive (09/25/2026)

Fri, 25 Sep 2026 23:00:00 GMT

Registration Opens June 1st!

Valhalla Missile Silo

This is the trip that many of us have been waiting the entire year for. On This November, we'll take a trip out to the Abilene area, just short of a four hour drive, which puts you at a historic decommissioned Atlas missile silo. Over a hundred feet deep and a somewhat chilly 58 to 62 degree water will surely put the memory of a hot Texas summer behind us. There is plenty of room top-side so, that's where most of us will be camping. For an extra fee, there are a few beds down inside the silo itself in a common room.

We have the silo all to ourselves for the entire weekend. Come out Friday after 5:00 PM, but no later than 8:30 PM, or Saturday after 8:00 AM, and dive until you're ready to leave on Sunday by 3:00 PM. Dive as much as you want. There are air fills available on site.

Once we get closer to the event, we can get together and talk about meals and other arrangements.

Diving, camping, history, and hanging out with our fellow divers. What more could you ask for?

Note: There are a LOT of stairs from the surface down to the staging/changing area. And more stairs from there down to the water.

Recommended Training for Advanced &
Unique Dive Environments

Some dive environments demand more than basic experience—they reward divers who understand depth, darkness, and planning beyond sea level.

To support advanced local diving and our upcoming Valhalla Missile Silo trip, Tom’s Dive & Swim and the Austin Aquanauts are offering three key SSI specialty courses that build confidence, judgment, and capability in very different—but often overlapping—conditions.

Deep Diving

Learn how to plan and execute deeper dives safely, manage gas, and understand the physiological considerations that come with depth.
This course is offered regularly throughout the year.

Night & Limited Visibility

Develop comfort, communication skills, and situational awareness when natural light is reduced. Ideal for night dives, overhead‑influenced environments, and low‑visibility conditions.
This course is also offered frequently.

Altitude Diving — Special Offering

Altitude diving changes how pressure, nitrogen loading, and dive planning work—even at inland sites that don’t feel extreme. This knowledge‑based specialty focuses on correct planning and dive‑computer use for dives above sea level, including sites like Balmorhea State Park and the Valhalla Missile Silo.

⚠️ Important:
The SSI Altitude Diving Specialty is offered only once this season — on September 12th — specifically to support the Valhalla Missile Silo trip. There are no additional Altitude classes scheduled at this time.

While Deep Diving and Night & Limited Visibility are offered regularly, Altitude Diving is the one course with limited availability and is strongly recommended for Valhalla participants.

The Scuba Ranch Dive (10/10/2026)

Sat, 10 Oct 2026 15:00:00 GMT

The Scuba Ranch
Formerly Clear Springs Scuba Park

Come join us in visiting The Scuba Ranch in north Texas. Located just east of Dallas near Terrell, on 22 acres, it's about a 3 1/2 hour drive from Austin. This is a spring fed quarry that has multiple wrecks, a Cessna airplane, and the largest fresh water shark in Texas for our underwater adventurers. Though this is an inland lake, with their usual visibility expectations, The Scuba Ranch has been known to have up to 25 foot of visibility at times. Wait until we brief you on the fresh water jellyfish sometimes seen in the shallows of this lake. (Don't worry, they don't sting...which makes them even better!)

We will be bring the grill with hamburgers and hot-dogs for lunch. There are vegetarian offerings, as well. We'll also be providing plenty of water and lemonade to keep us hydrated. Bring your own reusable cup if you'd like to be a little more environmentally friendly.

Your entry fee includes lunch as well as entry into The Scuba Ranch. When you arrive and check in, just tell them that you are with the Austin Aquanauts and they'll verify you've already paid.

We're really looking forward to this event.

See everyone there!

Season Finale! Underwater Pumpkin Carving Contest and Fun Dive (10/30/2026)

Fri, 30 Oct 2026 22:30:00 GMT

Season Finale
UNDERWATER PUMPKIN
CARVING CONTEST

AND FUN DIVE

Show off your pumpkin carving talent at this years Austin Aquanauts Underwater Pumpkin Carving Contest. Or, just come out and have a fun dive and watch the festivities.

The contest rules are simple.

Bring your own pumpkin.
Only one pumpkin used per judged entry. We're not building Frankenstein here.
You must use a blunt tipped diving knife for carving. No specialty tools or pointed dive knives. Consider a lanyard on your knife so it does not become lost if dropped. Allowing your pumpkin to carve you with your own dive knife is considered poor form.
No markings of any kind on the pumpkins before they go underwater. The horror begins below.
Pumpkins are very buoyant. Please take that into consideration when planning your dive weights. Consider a bag with weight for your pumpkin.
One small hole, no bigger that 2" in diameter, may be cut into the pumpkin to assist with submersion of the pumpkin.
Once initially submerged, any pumpkin that touches the surface is considered complete and must be presented for judging. Whether it is actually complete or not.
Pumpkins arriving on the surface without their divers will be considered rogue fast moving zombie pumpkins and not eligible for judging. If you are making a zombie pumpkin, it must be of the slow moving variety that ascends at 30 feet per minute with their divers. This goes for pumpkins of the non-zombie variety as well.

We'll have great prizes for the Best Pumpkin, Spookiest Pumpkin, and "Oh, Good Try".

We'll provide drinks and snacks as well. We're not sure what the food will be yet though.

Come and check it out!

See you there!
