1) the most local sea dive is a marine reserve-lots to see
2) 40 minutes out to sea and lots more to see-and the chance to net a lobster or two.
3)1 hour out and you are in warm clear water with stunning vis

Low overhead: No Planning, Booking, traveling and all on the non value activity (and costs) associated with it.
High frequency, In season it can be as often as daily but reality holds it closer to 3-4 times a week. What can be better after a day in the office?
Time Balance: A dive outing usually consumes a good chunk of the day but there is usually some time left at either or both ends of the day to help keep life on track.
We're lucky yo have a nice assortment of regional sites and a good many more within day trip or long weekend range. Being able to enjoy sites across the seasons and year to year brings a nice sense of nature's progression and continuity.

In Southern California:
1. Good Shore Diving
2. Lobster
3. Great place to practice (though fingers don't get as numb)

By "our local diving" I was assuming that you meant Puget Sound only. Most posts seem to indicate otherwise. Please pardon if this is off intended topic, for me:
1 Hanging on the line in Jersey watching all sorts of odd stuff drift by. Lately it has been an ocean full of salps ‪Sea Salps‬‏ - YouTube and Leidy's comb jellies ‪Leidy's Comb Jelly‬‏ - YouTube.
2 Endless wrecks...
3 Training in miserable local conditions with hysterically cool people. I have the pix to prove it!

1. walk down the stairs of my house.
2. hook boat to truck and drive 2 miles across farm to boat ramp. Launch boat.
3. drive boat 14 miles to 2nd longest barrier reef on the planet.
We have some of he "fishiest" dive sites I've ever seen. My buddy from the Philippines was just here and he was blown away by the Turneffe Elbow. That's 25 miles from my boat ramp.
