There is a lot of good diving in California and a fair amount in San Diego. Buddy diving is not enforced, but you can usually easily arrange a buddy on a boat or before when signing up for a boat. You might want to try to leave out of LA (120 miles north) for a boat to Catalina... More reliably nice diving and less advanced.
Plan on a 7 mil wetsuit for comfort.
You can find all you want to know about CA diving at www.diver.net/seahunt. Towards the end of the list are a few essays on San Diego diving.

It's great diving. Enjoy it, seahunt
