We just dove Balmoreah (San Solomon Springs) New Years, and while it's not Hawaii, the water is 74 degrees even when the temp is in the 30's. The viz is 70+ and theres tons of fish and even some turtles to look at. Oh yeah....the depth is only 23ft so the bottom times are huge, like 55min to...

So far I've only been to Hawaii, Catalina Island (Avalon) and lake pleasant in Arizona. The viz in Hawaii is way better than Catalina (100ft compared to 25-30) and the water is warm all year - Def. a + for me. The wild life in Hawaii did it for me though....Octopus, 4 1/2 foot sea turtles...

I just bought and dove a brand new Aeris ION. It has an adjustable knob that turns about 5 times before it clicks (meaning max setting). I haven't figured out the specifics but I can tell you that max adjustment will cause a free flow on the surface just by pressing the purge. The free flow -...
