    Hey guys,


    My name is Kaimana (you can call me Kai....but no relation to the Hatchet-wielding hitchiker). I grew up fishing, surfing, and diving. I fished and surfed for the first 11 years of life, and then followed in my father's footsteps and started exploring the ocean. First, without a spear, then with a polespear, and now with a speargun. So in all, I've been diving, spearfishing, and foraging for 10 years, but I am hoping to take part in this forum to learn from those with whom I share the ocean's bounty with, not to mention posting some reports.


    I am based out of Costa Mesa, but I have a bad habit of spending choke kala on gas to dive anywhere from Ventura to San Diego when I'm not studying. I love almost any kind of diving, whether it be for Turban snails or Yellowtail, but I'm not very stoked on white seabass diving.


    Shoots den,

    Of course, man. For me at least, it distracts me from the reasons behind why I dive. When I pull up to a spot and feel that rush of competitiveness when I see 6 boats and 8 shoredivers in the bed I'd like to dive, I feel like drawing the line. There's nothing wrong with it, and shooting a big one after putting in the work is an amazing feeling, but I would rather dive for halibut, skirt the outside edge of the limu for jello-tail, or work on my stalking techniques with some calicos, where I can have more fun and a higher success rate. :) I'll dive for whites occassionally, but usually when I know a bed is hot, or in early/late season when the fair-weather WSB crowd thins out.


    In short, it's all just personal prefernce.
