Hello, several of the CA guys know me............. for the rest.
I started diving in 1950 or 51, but did not spear my first fish until 1952....... All at Laguna Beach, CA.
I started out as "tube boy" following my Dad around on or pushin a gunnysack covered innertube to put his catch in.........My Dad, Ralph, started diving and spearfishing in So Cal in the early 30's
I continue to mainly dive Laguna..... but - sadly.... all of my favorite spots will be closed within a year or 2 when the Laguna State Marine Reserve in put in place.
While most of my diving has been in Laguna, I've had the opportunity to dive in many places around the world.... but, So Cal remains a favorite place to hunt............ What do I hunt.... Halibut.... duh.
I also spend a couple of months in Maui each year........ I love the clear warm water and variety of fish....
