    Welcome to the University SCUBA Club at UT Austin! The Club is open for membership to all University of Texas at Austin students, staff and faculty, and we welcome everyone to our dives and other events. If you're in the Austin area and you're interested in learning an exciting sport, exploring the underwater world, and learning to safely enjoy SCUBA diving then this is the place for you. If you're new to SCUBA diving or a seasoned veteran of the sport the University SCUBA Club would love to have you join us. Stop by the next meeting for more information.

First Meeting of the Spring Semester
Posted by Travis on 23.01.

A new semester has begun and spring is upon us! Yeah, for all practical purposes it's already spring. I mean it's 70 outside. I'm thinking we can start diving again very soon. Anyways, the first meeting of the semester is this Thursday at 7:00PM in SAC 3.112. We're going to say hello to all the new people and plan out the next few months: classes, dives, trips, etc. We'll have free food. You should come.

Comal River Dive, Nov 27
Posted by Travis on 14.11.

We're doing a afternoon/night dive at Comal River in New Braunfels the Sunday after Thanksgiving. This will be our last dive of the year so don't miss it.

Search/Rescue Dog Training, Nov 5/6
Posted by Travis on 14.10.

Search/rescue dog training was a lot of fun and we're doing it again! The diving/training will be both Saturday and Sunday, Nov 5/6, all day. As before, there will be free lunch and you get to spend the day diving and playing with dogs. What more do you want out of life? If you're interested in diving either or both of those days (or even half of a day) you need to email Karen Shaffer, the trainer who's running the show. University SCUBA Club is not in charge of this event. You'll want to sign up quickly because they only need 7 people per day and it's open to everyone, not just us. You can contact Karen at karenshaffer@hotmail.com or 417-9165.
We hope to see you there.

Underwater Pumpkin Carving Contest
Posted by Travis on 14.10.

Come show off your expert pumpkin carving skills underwater! On Friday night, the University Scuba club will go to Lake Travis to meet the A&M scuba club and carve pumpkins underwater. A dive light is highly recommended for this dive.

If you're a registered club member, the club will cover the costs of a pumpkin and park entry fee. If you're not yet a member, you're welcome to either come and join the club ($20 dues) on site or come dive anyways, but provide for your own park entry fees and pumpkin. If you're interested in joining, please contact myself or one of the other club officers so that we can purchase a pumpkin for you and know to expect you.

Hope to see you there,
-Tyler

Gary Yantis, co-founder of the University of Texas Skin and SCUBA Diving Society (our original club name) has created a website with an interesting look into our past. It is still a work in progress, but take a minute and see our roots!
