About this dive site

This dive site, The Scuba Ranch (formerly Clear Springs Scuba Park), is a family-owned recreational scuba facility located in Terrell, Texas, and opened in 2001. It centers around a 22-acre spring-fed lake designed for divers. The lake offers a controlled environment, making navigation straightforward, and it's well-suited for training, gear testing, and recreational dives, featuring various underwater objects and natural formations.

The lake supports a unique freshwater ecosystem, primarily featuring Bass and Perch. Divers might also encounter the intriguing freshwater jellyfish, which adds a distinct element to the aquatic life. Plant growth is minimal, predominantly consisting of raccoon weed, which contributes to the specific character of the lake's underwater landscape.

The Scuba Ranch is an excellent year-round destination, with the spring-fed waters providing consistent conditions ideal for both scuba divers and freedivers looking to practice or improve their skills. It's also a good location for underwater photography, particularly for capturing macro subjects. The facility offers a convenient and accessible freshwater diving experience for the local diving community.
