Sounds like a scary proposition to me.

HA HA, And he can do all the work to get to the spot.
In all seriousness, can anybody recommend a good bay area (or Monterey area) course in SCUBA diving off a kayak? I've seen a few mentioned, but none of them seem to be available now or with any degree of regularity.

There is actually a dive club that does kayak diving in SF, I believe. If you want more information, I will try to see about russling up the information on them...

Not a problem at all. The group is Barbary Coast Divers, out of San Francisco. I believe their website is www.barbarycoastdivers.com. Let me know if you need more information...
Well, first thing first - I'm certified through SSI.
What I'd hope to get out of it though is a good overview of the issues involved, mainly to do with gear management on a kayak (especially when entering/exiting), pros/cons of anchoring the kayak vs. towing, etc. I also feel like some initial experience with somebody who's done this a few thousand times present could help prevent some very costly mistakes, in the form of gear plummeting towards the deep.
