I guess that it'll be my time to report.
Let me start by saying that I signed for the annual pass this year @ the side of Maricopa County (Scorpion Bay) for $85 only! Well, it looks like a better deal than Vista Point ($170) and yeah, I know that the $170 be divided between two partners. So the bottom line is: I'll be more likely at the Western entrance for this year.
Obviously, there are advantages/disadvantages for each entrance, bla, bla, bla....
However, I don't think it's the time to get into it.
What I like in this season is getting into the water without any suit!
(& yes... you need to avoid the thermocline
if you want to feel good!
).
So, by 7.9.16 I dove 1 dive @ Sunset Ridge.
It was just an OK dive to blow some bubbles.
By 7.10.16 I dove 2 dives @ Desert Tortoise.
Here's my tip:
Not so sure if divers are aware of it, but currently there are two islands, the Western and the Eastern.
On the
Eastern side of the East Island, there is a wall with plenty of crannies, currently starting at 5' till 30', while the most interesting part is the shallower part. It includes plenty of underwater life.
Please enjoy the short clip I did:
