? Ken, you can hop in the water right at commercial pier (or almost anywhere for that matter) and swim out to the 2nd or 3rd reef... or are you looking for something specific?

Take commercial to the beach and hang a left (north) onto whatever road that is that's closest to the beach. Park in the first parking lot you see - a few blocks north of the pier. Gear up and swim straight out, you'll find pretty good reefs about 1/2 pier length out and then again at about the end of the pier.

Don't forget to take a float (and a buddy). Nothing amazingly spectacular but all and all a good dive, no boat required. Usually easiest to swim under the surface so you aren't fighting waves, but take a visual every so often and/or use a compass to make sure you aren't getting too close to the pier.
