Kimi Werner gears up with diving partner, Justin Turkowski.

Kimi Werner has been in the water all her life. Five years ago she won the Women’s title at the 2008 U.S. National Spearfishing Championship. She’s since moved away from fishing as a sport and now sees it more as a lifestyle. HPR’s Molly Solomon met her for a dive and has this report.
