We can go next weekend if you'd like-- I'll be spear fishing out near Crystal Cove (found a really nice kelp bed I want to hunt in.). The entry there is a cake walk-- and good place to learn-- going up that hill will get your heart rate up but if my fat arse and skinny arse wife with 4 year old in tow can do it-- so can a battle hardened Marine such as your self. I'll even let you use my yak as it's a bit more stable.
Let me know what you want to do and when you want to do it---You've earned it. I'll even let you ride in the front seat-- as opposed the the truck bed.
I got an extra Riffe/ freediving set up in case you want to come over the dark-side and spear fish. Ducks for cover--
I love making fun of Marines though-- it's part of my charm.
Let me know-- Keep your powder down and your head dry

or something like that
