I'm new here too. San Diego as well as spearing.
I live in SD, and I'm looking to gain more experience free-diving and spearing.
I have a good bit of SCUBA time, and a rescue cert. I can free-dive with soem level of skill. Maybe we can go diving together. I don't have a lot of experience to share with you, but we could look out for each other.
I have two boats, a 26' sail, and a 10' rib. The rib is perfect for hitting the point loma kelp. The sailboat can handle some offshore stuff, although it's slow going...
anyway man. hit me up if you want to meet up, go diving or whatever.
