When it came time to choose a water theme for WWP, there was no question as to where I wanted to shoot. The Blue Lagoon is one of the most unusual bodies of water I have ever seen in Texas.

Sparkling artesian springs feed an old rock quarry that was mined for over 50 years and which now creates a beautiful environment for scuba diving. Name comes from the blue appearance of the water. Low PH factor makes for clear water with up to 50 feet visibility. Submerged boats, planes, and platforms are strategically placed in two lagoons which are often referred to as the Texas Cozumel.

I once arranged a Red Cross safety training film here because of the clear water which allowed for underwater filming.
