The Open Water checkout dives are done at Windy Point Park on Lake Travis. Windy Point Park (also known as Barstow’s) has a great setup for divers, including an air fill station. During the winter months or for private classes, we do our checkouts at Aquarena Springs. The water is 70 degrees year round with visibility up to 70 feet.
