Welcome to ScubaBoard.
If you visit the SoCal forums, plenty of divers there to help you out.
Words of Wisdom:
Dive as often as you can with a seasoned, knowledgeable diver/mentor.
Avoid the I know everything and if you don’t listen, you’re a idiot and will certainly die divers.
Get hooked up with a local dive club.
Spend a significant reading posts here New Divers and Those Considering Diving and here Accidents and Incidents
Don’t use an underwater camera until you are really comfortable in the water and can hold a stop unassisted.

Thanks so much! Once I'm certified, I'll head out to a local dive shop to purchase my own gear (I've experienced enough with buying snowboard gear in larger chains that, often, the personnel there are sometimes not the most informed or motivated to share their knowledge. Once in a while you hit the jackpot and find someone who can't wait to talk to you - from their own and valid experience). I'll use that as a resource in meeting fellow divers, hopefully much more experienced than myself. Fortunately, I also have experienced divers in my family who are chomping at the bit to get in the water. Local dive club...I'll look one up, that sounds like a good way to get plugged in too!
