Of course I'd do my best to reciprocate should any of you want to come down to Texas(Houston) to dive.
the viz in the winter is really good it can be 70'. The water is cold about 58.
The lake is very safe, no currents, almost no boat traffic in the winter.

For shorediving a float is a good idea and stay relatively close to the shore.
Is fresh water so you don't need as much weigh.
The lake areas close to the river however can have really strong currents and the water is even colder.
The hotels in Laughlin and Bullhead city this time of the year are cheap but there is a lot of remote camping opportunity where you can find your little private beach.
I'm from CA but I dove the lake many times.
