Getting gear together, any advice?

I'm out in the walnut grove area alot. I'll post next time I go out, or you can pm me. I have no problem showing people around my "home" waters and sharing what little I know.
Most important thing about fishing the Delta is knowing  your tides, they can work for you if you time trips correctly. If your not careful, you can wind up going alot farther than you expected and be on the water after sunset. Ask me how I know...

For shits and giggles I want to hear the story

How much do the classes range from? Can't put a $ amount on safety, just to know how much I'm looking at and can expect to spend on these and how long are the classes on average.

I love my Farmer John.  So quick and easy to get on, comfortable all day, and easier to keep from overheating.  Heat exhaustion is dangerous too!  Now if i were seperated from my boat and in the water for an hour, I'd wish I had more, but I have a closet full of suits including $350 surfer suits, but come back to this for $60.  http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-42/049491/Neosport-by-Henderson-5mm-Mens-Farmer-John-Wetsuit.html
