Comal Night Diving

Pictures By

Natalie & Danny Phillips 

Duggan Diving offers a free night dive every Thursday night, weather permitting. The night dives take place at the Comal River or Canyon Lake. The number of divers on a Thursday night dive has varied from 5 to 15. An instructor or dive master leads the dive, and there is also a person on the land to assist divers.

Danny, Will, and Natalie Phillips hold the record for having attended the most Thursday night dives. The Comal River is a great dive for practicing buoyancy skills, breathing efficiently, dealing with current, and, as Natalie & Danny’s pictures show, developing expert photographic skills.
