Solo freediving: 20-30 feet, 3 min max

I've been reading around here for a little while now and understand that solo diving, especially when pushing your limits is a bad idea. Although it seems like I virtually answered my own question, most of the stuff I'm reading about involves static apnea and people who are PUSHING themselves for progress (IE longer downtimes). What if you are casually snorkeling and diving down to 20-30 feet tops, keeping dive times to a maximum of 2-3 minutes and doubling your dive times on the surface - all of this being done close to shore? (specifically La Jolla cove, shores and other spots around San Diego/UCSD). Is it still an absolutely bad idea? or can you be careful with this?
