Scuba Diving, Wine and Steaks at the Lake

wine, steaks and scuba diving at the lake

Remember, diving in Texas is a barbecue interrupted by diving.

I like to say diving in Texas is a barbecue interrupted by diving.  This works well for me because I love to cook and eat in addition to diving.    Several years ago our rebreather and technical clients wanted to head out to the lake for a practice session.  They are a fun group pf divers and love diving and wine as much as I do so we came up with our own diving event — “Wine and Steaks at the Lake.”  Wine and steaks were part of the theme that first year but are not a requirement.  In fact, we have several vegetarians who join us every year so even the consumption of steaks is not a required nor us the wine.
Over the years, the scuba divers participating have changed and we have both our technical divers and recreational scuba divers joining us for the outing.  The real purpose is to go diving and practice skills including buoyancy control and navigation.  There is no set plan other than you have to finish diving before any wine.
If you want some help in deciding how to focus your dive send me an email message and I will send you some skills to try in the lagoon. If you need a buddy, no problem; we will find you a buddy up at the lake (just remember to that diving will be winding down around 12:00).
Join us for a fun day of diving and dining as we have our Wine and Steaks at the Lake event. Everyone in welcome whether you are a technical diver or a recreational diver.  We will be diving at 9:00 AM and then the grills will fire up at around 12:00 just in time to grill your favorite meat or vegetable Bring your own main course and something to share or have Eric bring you a steak with his own special rub (call Ann for details). The Blue Lagoon closes at 6:00 so you will be home in plenty of time to clean your equipment.

Please come and go diving!

  • Where: Beautiful Blue Lagoon
  • When: Sunday 28, June 2015
  • Time: 9:00 AM
  • What to bring: Your total diving system (diving equipment, cylinders, weight), meat, chicken or vegetable to grill, a side to share, your own beverages (water, wine, iced tea, etc)
  • Special: If you would like me to bring you a special steak, send me a note or let Dive Mom know.  (The cost is $20.00)
