Don't know if this is "the best place" but it's pretty awesome for a variety of dive sites. Catalina California. The water doesn't require you own a dry suit, the kelp forests are amazing, and the marine life is healthy! Vis is around 40ft+ (good enough for me). It's easily accesible from 3 harbors in Southern California. The boat ride is about 1hr and Catalina is very diver friendly. I love it there, but I'm sure there are tons of spots better, just my 2 cents though.
