To get the thread back to the original...
One very good reason for visiting Dutch Springs (and I just bought the three year pass) is:
This is where my rebreather instructor teaches.
A second/third:
It is a relatively calm environment to practice your skills and during the week is not very crowded.

Dutch is a great place to check out equipment or as quick refresher after not diving for six months. It is a little boring but the platforms and other attractions are helpful. You can really get a lot of fine tuning done. Two of us went on a Wednesday a couple of weeks back and had the place to ourselves. Seemed like around 10 people in the whole place. The visibility was incredible! The prices have gotten a little high especially if you have someone that is just bubble watching.
Great video doctormike. Looks like great visibility there. Suppose to go to Willow Springs for Labor Day weekend. I don't think the visibility is quite the same.
Thanks! I don't know Willow Springs, but Dutch can have quite good vis at times. One of the best days to go is New Year's Eve day, when they open for a few hours. Water temps at depth are pretty much the same year round, and it's fun diving in the snow!

Is this Justin Bates?
He completed a PDIC instructor course with me after GUE-F, TDI Advanced Nitrox/Deco, PDIC Solo and NSS-CDS cave in sidemount.

Yup, that's Justin...
We had stopped at Lehigh Valley on the way to Dutch on 8/8 (Newby day for the Sea Gypsies) and you set him up with some tanks... This shot is from that day.
Thanks for your detailed post on why Dutch is great...! I still think that the OP was trolling a bit, but it's good to have all those reasons together in one essay for future reference.
