The Scuba Ranch Dive (10/10/2026)

Sat, 10 Oct 2026 15:00:00 GMT

The Scuba Ranch
Formerly Clear Springs Scuba Park

Come join us in visiting The Scuba Ranch in north Texas. Located just east of Dallas near Terrell, on 22 acres, it's about a 3 1/2 hour drive from Austin. This is a spring fed quarry that has multiple wrecks, a Cessna airplane, and the largest fresh water shark in Texas for our underwater adventurers. Though this is an inland lake, with their usual visibility expectations, The Scuba Ranch has been known to have up to 25 foot of visibility at times. Wait until we brief you on the fresh water jellyfish sometimes seen in the shallows of this lake. (Don't worry, they don't sting...which makes them even better!)

We will be bring the grill with hamburgers and hot-dogs for lunch. There are vegetarian offerings, as well. We'll also be providing plenty of water and lemonade to keep us hydrated. Bring your own reusable cup if you'd like to be a little more environmentally friendly.

Your entry fee includes lunch as well as entry into The Scuba Ranch. When you arrive and check in, just tell them that you are with the Austin Aquanauts and they'll verify you've already paid.

We're really looking forward to this event.

See everyone there!

Season Finale! Underwater Pumpkin Carving Contest and Fun Dive (10/30/2026)

Fri, 30 Oct 2026 22:30:00 GMT

Season Finale
UNDERWATER PUMPKIN
CARVING CONTEST

AND FUN DIVE

Show off your pumpkin carving talent at this years Austin Aquanauts Underwater Pumpkin Carving Contest. Or, just come out and have a fun dive and watch the festivities.

The contest rules are simple.

Bring your own pumpkin.
Only one pumpkin used per judged entry. We're not building Frankenstein here.
You must use a blunt tipped diving knife for carving. No specialty tools or pointed dive knives. Consider a lanyard on your knife so it does not become lost if dropped. Allowing your pumpkin to carve you with your own dive knife is considered poor form.
No markings of any kind on the pumpkins before they go underwater. The horror begins below.
Pumpkins are very buoyant. Please take that into consideration when planning your dive weights. Consider a bag with weight for your pumpkin.
One small hole, no bigger that 2" in diameter, may be cut into the pumpkin to assist with submersion of the pumpkin.
Once initially submerged, any pumpkin that touches the surface is considered complete and must be presented for judging. Whether it is actually complete or not.
Pumpkins arriving on the surface without their divers will be considered rogue fast moving zombie pumpkins and not eligible for judging. If you are making a zombie pumpkin, it must be of the slow moving variety that ascends at 30 feet per minute with their divers. This goes for pumpkins of the non-zombie variety as well.

We'll have great prizes for the Best Pumpkin, Spookiest Pumpkin, and "Oh, Good Try".

We'll provide drinks and snacks as well. We're not sure what the food will be yet though.

Come and check it out!

See you there!
