    Default So, what's up w/Paradise?

    Sorry if this has been hashed over, my brain's all over the place these days. Checked Walter's site and it didn't really say much, searched here and didn't want to wade through the results...

    Safe diving,

    Paradise spring? The husband died. The wife is continuing to run it but I wonder if she'll be able to manage it long term. Heard somewhere the vis was bad.

    I’ve been there a couple times in the last 12 months. Operations see fairly on par with my past experience. I have noticed a few more people doing tech or CCR training there. I like diving there, but recommend calling ahead.

    Been there a bunch recently. That place is so beautiful. Imagine having that on your property!

    Same.

    Unfortunately, that seems pretty typical this year for me.

    Paradise? I thought they paved it and put up a parking lot.

    As mentioned above, unfortunately the husband died of a heart attack about a year ago. The wife is continuing to run it. As most people here may or may not know, the cost id $30 and they only take cash. I've been there quite a bit over the last few months. The viz has been quite good.
