Ok, here's the situation. I was born and raised and got my first cert in lovely Southern California. Havent been diving there in uhmmm almost 11 years at this point. I'll be back in December and January to do an open water course and a couple fun dives with the family. I'm trying to figure out where I want to go. Catalina? Head up to Monterey maybe (yes I know that's not socal)? Possibly San Diego? Honestly I have no idea what the vis, temp, etc is like in CA anymore so any advice, questions, comments are welcome.
