Interview with Addrianna Reitenbach This interview with Addrianna Reitenbach comes from a recommendation from Eric Anderson. "Hey Shrek! Wanted to connect you with Addrianna who is spearheading the up-and-coming dive community SoCal Dive Babes (IG: @socaldivebabes). This group is all about building a solid dive community and providing mentorship to women divers who want to get into spearfishing. We've been chatting a bit on spearing and watching their trips to Baja and local waters, fundraisers, beach events, underwater pumpkin target shooting, hanging out with Julie Riffe...I thought it would make a great interview. Always stoked to hear more stories in the spearing community and this sounds like a good one. You know I'm a fan of the Pcast, so keep it coming brotha!" - Eric Anderson Some of the highlights are; 'trash fish' chat, Southern California species and conditions, women in spearfishing, body language for hunting and more!
