Discover Scuba

When one of my friend presented the idea of us getting together to take an introductory "Discover Scuba" Lesson for $20 at Dive World, you can be sure I wasn't about to say no. It was an awesome introductory "Discover Scuba" course! You are first introduced to scuba in a class room setting, and educated on what to expect. And after the 30 minute class room lecture, you get into the provided scuba gear, and plunge into the 12 ft indoor heated pool inside the store. No relationships, no traffic or television. You're free! even gravity has lost it's pull. Sure 12 feet of heated water isn't anything compared to being in the big deep blue, but what this course is all about is getting you familar with scuba gear, and basic techniques to scuba diving. Awesome introductory "Discover Scuba" course!

Dive World is located on FM 620 at the corner of Lake Creek Pkwy.

Climbing Friends

Are you and your friends looking for something new to stay in shape? Austin Rock Gym is Austin's only dedicated indoor rock climbing facilities. With two locations both the North Gym and South Gym facilities have climbing for all ages and experience levels. The facilities are indoor and spacious. They have walls up to 34 feet tall that have challenging, enjoyable routes, designed to provide true climbing experiences. They don't just let anyone climb, they are very strict on safety and you must go through an intro course if you've never climbed before.

I recommend them as a great place to start, or to continue your rock climbing experience and what better way to do that then with your friends. Their day passes are very affordable only $15. Overall, a fun place to feel outdoors even when you're in.
