I have seen videos on the springs but this by far is the best one!

[@scottbauerbelow]

Thank you so much!

[@valenciastark9560]

I thoroughly agree!

[@NYIJ05]

thank you for this vastly wholesome video

[@scottbauerbelow]

You are very welcome!!

[@grandmakellymcdonald]

What a really cool video!

[@scottbauerbelow]

Thank you!

[@debrah7548]

Love how the water bubbles in from below!

[@scottbauerbelow]

Thank you!

[@DavidRodriguez-hg6kq]

The reason the water bubbles is because of springs from beneath the sand.

[@TroubleBKC]

Wow. That is the coolest view! Look him! There is algae growing on him So cool!

[@scottbauerbelow]

That is correct he has quite a bit of algae growing on his shell as well as leeches on his head : (

Thank you Scott!

[@Zombbiewastaken]

I feel lucky too live in san marcos

[@scottbauerbelow]

It’s a beautiful place!

[@DREWBEED00]

I would love to dive this location someday, gorgeous. Great shots!

[@scottbauerbelow]

Thank you! You can take a class called the DAC which will allow you to gain access and dive there

[@trixi_9]

Great video! Didn't know about Snaggle. There are very large snapping turtles between City Park and Rio Vista. Also, right after the Interstate. They are massive, like the size of a loveseat!

[@scottbauerbelow]

That’s awesome! I’ll have to go and meet them too!

[@MrDwaynecasey]

Loveseat sized snapping turtle... I 'll stay 50 + feet away.,,🤣

[@Energenetic]

An awesome video should get more views and subscribers.

[@DanEvans-yb6wk]

Attended SWT (then) 4 years. You took me there again. Can't thank you enough. Where are the eels?

[@scottbauerbelow]

I’m glad you enjoyed it : )

[@michaelcornelius3542]

Prettiest place in Texas ! I live in San Marcos and need to go diving there soon

[@hanifobrienimanuel4175]

👍

[@torinn3618]

What was the music used in this video? Everything about the video was well put together. Thank you.

[@scottbauerbelow]

I really appreciate that, thank you! This was music that I got off of epidemic sound

[@DavidRodriguez-hg6kq]

Two things that endanger the flow of the springs is excessive drought and surrounding cities plus farmers and ranchers.

[@scottbauerbelow]

Agreed

[@MrDwaynecasey]

I was hoping there would be some good lakes in Texas to dive. I love shallow clear water dives. This sounds like it might be the best fresh water high visibility dive in Texas. Mammoth lake was decent but no where as clear as this looks to be. I'll stay clear of Snappy

[@scottbauerbelow]

This is a great spot for that…try lake nueces by camp wood Texas as well, it is also very clear! I have a video for that one as well

[@Anna-Bee]

Can you snorkel here?

[@scottbauerbelow]

I think you can sign up for snorkeling tours…call “the meadows center for water and the environment” for info

[@rosebatham3342]

Can you tube here ??

[@scottbauerbelow]

You can but not in the lake it is slightly down stream on the San Marcos river

[@MeIn80HD]

Can I ask what you shoot with?

[@scottbauerbelow]

This was shot a while back with the Sony a6400

[@andyvaldez212]

bro what's your underwater videography setup??? also, did you have to pay to scuba there?

[@surfit.]

Beautiful. Not many people know but Ala Moana beach (Oahu) has turtles. Not the snapping ones, those are in the zoo. If you paddleboard, you'll see them come up for air. Once a seal swam in . . . fishes. You know how they play with their food, throw it around. Lifeguard had to move us away. It's illegal to go up to one. You need to stay 50 feet away from them. Such as our turtles, ten feet. Water's not as clear as your freshwater lake. Keep up with dives. Love underwater shots.

[@scottbauerbelow]

Thank you very much!

5 minutes from my house.
