Underwater Easter Egg Hunt @ Tyler State Park

We skipped it last year due to bad weather, but we’re back with the eggs and, hopefully, sunshine!

Join us for our annual Underwater Easter Egg Hunt. Eggs will be suspended from the bottom, so they’ll be easy to see. We’ll be at Tyler State Park, which is close enough for those who want to day-trip it.

Costs
Park entrance fee is $6 per adult and free for kids up to 12 years old. MUST SHOW C-CARD IF YOU DIVE!

Meal and hunt are FREE to paid Dillo members and $10 for everyone else. OR, you can pay your annual Scubadillo membership ($36.50 for individual, $46.50 for family) here online, and enjoy all the 2025 events for free (except our fundraiser luau in June).

Schedule
11:30ish – Lunch at the “Day Use” Picnic area south of the swimming area. The Dillos will supply water and grilled hamburgers. Bring a side dish to share.

1 p.m. – Staging at the swimming area
2 p.m. – The hunt is on!!!

Prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd-place winners.

RSVP, please
To ensure we have enough hamburgers, please let us know you’re coming. Use this RSVP/food sign-up sheet and let us know what you’re bringing.

The dive
We should have 6- to 10-foot visibility. Eggs will be floating on a string at about 8-15 feet, 5-mil wet suit or thicker. Depends on how hardy you are. Bottom time is about 30 minutes. Bring a mesh bag to collect your eggs.

How to get there

Tyler State Park is located approximately 90 miles east of Dallas on I-20. Take exit 562 toward FM 14/Hawkins/Tyler and turn left on FM 14 (State Park Highway). The park is two miles north of Tyler. Turn left on Park Road 16 to the park’s entrance.

Continue on Park Road 16, keep left to stay on the south side of the lake until you reach Brown’s Point in the Day-Use Picnic area south of the swimming area. Look for our big yellow Scubadillo banner and yellow T-shirts.
