If you are a diver in the local area we would like to get to know you!  We don’t have a dive shop in town anymore (although that may be about to change) and we are challenged by the very fluid population in Del Rio of likely divers.  Getting together, however, is a way to get to know other divers, their experiences and share diving opportunities here.  We have Lake Amistad and San Felipe Creek for local diving, but depending on your willingness to drive, there are other places worth checking out, too: Chalk Bluff, Frio River, Balmorhea State Park, just to name a few.  Although very informal, the Del Rio Dive Club meetings serve as a chance for divers and non-divers alike to gather, share, ask questions and enjoy a bite to eat.  We typically meet at Rudy’s Restaurant for some great barbecue 7pm on the third Thursday of each month.  This is our opportunity for local divers to plan more activities and do more DIVING!  You don’t have to be a diver to come out and have a good time.  Maybe you’ll even get the bug for it just by hanging around us!  Don’t forget to like our Facebook page so you can keep up with what’s going on.  Sadly, there has not been much interest in the past year, and a meeting of one or two isn’t productive.  If we see more activity happening on our Facebook page we will spin meetings back up.  All too often we run into certified divers who move to the area but have sold their gear because they either didn’t know there was diving here or simply aren’t interested in fresh water diving.  All we can say is: A C-card means you can dive, but diving makes you a diver!
