Tucson area technical canyoneering classes / training?

I've gotten to a point where I'm very interested in exploring technical canyoneering, but lack the requisite skills and network of potential mentors to be able to proceed. Does anyone know of any classes (either group or one-on-one) for skill development in the Tucson area? I know there are a couple of companies up in Phoenix and there's always the option of an ACA class up in Escalante, but I'm hoping to find something closer to home to scratch the initial itch. I have zero climbing experience so I definitely have some skill work ahead of me before I could be a productive member of a group.

Any ideas?

There is a pretty active Tucson Climbing Group on Facebook. Maybe ask around over there? Either that or call Summit Hut.
