Hello from Southern California where the weather is warm & wonderful but the water is pretty cold

Just logged my 41st diving since Oct. last year. My first dive ever was back in 2018, when certified, yet work and family responsibility left little or no time for me to enjoy diving. Recently, I took AOW and Rescue Diver courses and started diving once if not twice or even three times, a week, wearing 7mm in the cold ocean outside of the Los Angeles seashore. So glad to find this forum! Would love to learn more about the underwater world from many of you guys online or offline, if possible. Once I log 50 dives, I might as well get the five specialty dive certificates done and will get my MSD title before May.
Should anyone knows about some diving club or group in southern California, please please drop me a line so that I could follow and/or join!
Safe Diving!
