This dive site, Scuba Divers Paradise Navigation Site, is a unique underwater navigation course located in the United States. It is specifically designed to enhance navigational skills and is primarily used for SSI Navigation Con-ed, assisting divers in achieving their Advanced Open Water Rating. The course features various "wonderful attractions" strategically placed to provide both training opportunities and visual interest, making skill development engaging and enjoyable.
The site is home to "fish friends" who are often seen co-navigating with divers, sometimes even leading the way. While the description doesn't specify particular species, divers can expect to encounter various freshwater fish species common to the region. The underwater attractions themselves may also host smaller invertebrates or aquatic plants, adding to the local ecosystem.
The best time to visit would likely align with comfortable surface temperatures, typically spring through early autumn in Central Texas. Divers should focus on utilizing their compass and natural navigation skills, rather than relying too heavily on the resident fish. The shallow average depth of 4 meters makes it excellent for extended training sessions, and its suitability for both scuba and freediving means it's a versatile spot for perfecting underwater orientation.
