ckharlan66:I was there last year. It is a nice place. Heated showers, gear rentals, concessions. Casino near by for night time fun. The sunken attractions are pretty neat (I mean how often do you get to dive on a 727 from a movie?) I plain to go back sometime this summer.
Good luck.

theskull:I love diving Mermet, but a small correction to the above post: the shower ROOMS are heated--the shower WATER is not. Still nice on winter dives to be able to get dressed in a heated room.
Definitely make a trip there. The viz was 15+ feet this weekend, better in the deep water.
