Just did this trip a few hours ago and your video is a great remembrance. Like the videographer, 4 out of 5 of us in my boat were thrown out. Not too bad but the swim test was essential. Dry suit is not super bulky-easier to swim in than a wetsuit. But swimming as hard as you can across the river and then over to the boats gave a good feel. Since I missed the boats the first time, I had to let the river take me back in an eddy and then swim again to the boats-I was exhausted and that was just the swim test, 20 minutes in! Right now, not sure I would do it again but very glad we did it through all three canyons! Guides were amazing and were very serious about safety and working as a team

Wow that's amazing, i like it !! Is it worth it to go for the 3rd canyon or only 2 ? How much time rafting in each canyon takes ? and what camera did you use to film this, i like the quality ?

Yes it is totally. The last segment of this six mile creek is where most of the level 5 rapids are. Don’t remember how long it took. I used a go pro hero 9. Ya it’s a good camera.

Can you tell me about "this swim test"? I mean - I read "wifey" couldn't continue because she didn't do too well.... just how well do you have to do??? Because we're gonna be in a dry suit - I've never worn one before but it looks heavy. I fell once out of a raft in Chatooga River Georgia... but that's "warmer" water. This is Alaska OMG >____________<. How "brutal" was it? Elaborate... I'm terrified. Want to do this trip in summer.

The water is cold but because you wear dry suit the water won’t go inside. It’s not too heavy though. I am a scuba diver so I can say how heavy and uncomfortable a neoprene suit is. I did Chatanooga too. But this is even more intense. This is a true level 5. You always have to listen to the instructor. Swim test is absolutely important. There is a stream that you have to cross and the water is strong. If you are a beginner in swimming then I would not recommend this at all. Tbh, I was stupid for listening to my wife and let her get on the raft. We were actually lucky because during the test, she tried to swim across and the current was too strong she was drifting away. There was a guy at the end who threw a rope and she caught it. Bottom line, If you are a good swimmer and a strong paddler who doesn’t freak out during tense situations, I would say you should definitely try it because it’s super fun. If not don’t even risk it. It’s not worth.

I'm assuming you've been by now? It is a great place to learn diving (and I have a soft spot for it since it's my 'home' of diving). You'll find you're much better about staying aware and staying with your guide/the group than casual divers who've only been in crystal clear Caribbean water (assuming you travel to somewhere like that at some point, and I say casual because professional divers, even out there, should be staying aware). Partly cause in Travis, if your buddy gets more than 10 feet from you, they're gone for good! If you are planning a trip somewhere cool, you'll also be extra blown away by how cool it is, if all you've seen is the green water and perch here. It makes for a more... grateful/easily impressed diver in a good way in my opinion.

Awesome! If you find an iPod touch that is pink and near or far from land please tell me! My friend and I were dumb enough to start trying to skip my phone across the water and the *SPLOOSH* it disappeared.

Don’t! Lake Travis is a beast that can’t be tamed. There’s lots of people still missing and are probably at the bottom under the trees since this used to be a canyon. There’s no beaches just steep drop offs so idk how well you can spear fish

When the visibility is good spearfishing is great. You’re limited to the types of fish you can spear. Most of what you will see are game fish however giant carp are plentiful and fun to shoot. Best to do it by boat and scuba. The best spots are in front of private property so a boat is a must.

That water is creepy, lime green and too murky. I never swim there. The lake is very dangerous and deadly.It is like ANOTHER burmuda triangle. I only swim in pools like deep Eddy, Because I am a coward when it comes to this lake! They Trying to make it sound all fun with that MUSIC! They ain't fooling me! I Know too much about lake Travis.

It's a fun place to dive (since there's not much else around here, but really we're lucky to have it). When you dive deep it is a bit spooky, even on a summer day at noon no light gets through past 60ish feet or so. So you have to bring a flashlight, but down that deep it's not green any more, it turns clear. And since you're now at the bottom of what used to be land, there are entire trees still standing down there, stuff like that. It's a bit surreal. Fun place though, don't be afraid to swim, especially not if you're chilling on the surface.
