Seven sites most shore divers never see.
Walls past 100 feet, grottoes with air pockets, a 1930s industrial site, and a whole alley of sunken boats and cars.
100+ FT WALLStarnes Island (Rattlesnake Island)
A wall dive past 100 feet with a gradual slope for every skill level. Five boat hulls, large grottoes, and a good shot at finding phones, jewelry, sunglasses and cash.
100+ FT WALLOasis Wall
A sheer wall beneath the Oasis Restaurant with large grottoes and a hole lined with stalactites. Doubles as a drift dive with bubble-following pickup.
GROTTOFiesta Haus Wall
A deep mooring line to the bottom, a large grotto with an air pocket, and access to the old river channel.
HISTORICShaker Plant
A 1930s and 1940s concrete processing site off Sometimes Island: pads, wooden frames, pipes and impellers, with two touring lines.
PLATFORMSNorth Shore Wall
Three platforms, one at advanced depth, plus a washing machine, satellite dome pieces, a microwave, radar and barrels.
WRECKSWreck Alley
The former Don Brod's Scuba Park: houseboats, sailboats, motorboats and cars, plus a wall with pecan trees and the old riverbed.
CRACKS AND CREVICESCypress Creek Wall
Up the Cypress Creek arm: vertical cracks and crevices before the wall slowly slopes down to the river channel.

Dive clean, stop zebra mussels. Their shells cut skin and wetsuits, and their larvae can hide in scuba gear for days. Wear gloves and boots, stay neutrally buoyant, and soak gear 20 minutes in 20% vinegar, 80% water, then rinse and air dry completely.
