Some addition info on the B/H
The water is crystal clear (80 ft) on the weekdays - there is silt on the bottom that gets stirred up quickly by the hordes. Lots of studends on weekends.
The "shrimps" are called crawdads or crayfish, depending upon where you come from.
Night diving is pretty cool, the hole gets pitch black and the crayfish are swimming in the water column.
Lots of people solo there - its not officially endorsed but it is common. There is no full time attendant, but sporadic checks for permits - very, very sporadic.
Stella has a shack with compressor and some gear on site, not a full service dive center - that is still under construction. I would not count on renting gear unless you call ahead and make arrangements.
The water is fine year round. It can get windy and bitter cold on the SI in the spring and in the summer it can get insanely crowed on the weekend due to classes.
Its not much, but when you live in the desert 600 miles from the real ocean, it looks mighty fine
