Comments	Warm water all year long. Great for a refresher or classes. The uncovered bay is excellent for low vis navigation practice. Suprisingly, the fish are much bigger than I expected. In particular, the Jacks seem big and fast when the vis is low. The fish were fun. Bad. It's probably going to be a muck dive. If you're not part of a group, call the Bonneville Seabase in advance to check on visibility and any scheduled classes. You might be able to dive on other than their "normal days", Thurs-Sun. Of course, the vis will be better if you get in before a group shows up. I went with son(initial open water) and wife(refresher). Main building is just a few steps from the warmest bay, which is covered by a greenhouse like setup. The Gear up area is warm and protected. About 40 min drive from Salt Lake City. Lots of snack foods, but pack a lunch if you want real food. No services nearby.
