I had just finished my Commercial SEL rating, and since I own a Cub on amphibs I thought it would be a good time to do a Commercial SES add-on. I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest and, fortunately, there are lots of options to do that. I found a great instructor and we spent a day practicing the maneuvers in a rental seaplane (mine is Experimental and not insured for training). I had a blast, and at the end of the day he thought I would be ready for a check ride the next morning. We had not gone through beaching so we agreed to meet at 8:00 a.m. to fly for an hour before the check ride.
