Kimi Werner

The ocean has long been a source of sustenance, inspiration and adventure for Kimi Werner. As a young child growing up in rural Maui, she floated behind her father as he spearfished for her family’s primary food source. Only later as an adult did she understand the central role the ocean was to play in her life when she rediscovered her own passion for freediving.

Kimi has gone on to become the United States National Spearfishing Champion, a culinary chef, ocean advocate and filmmaker. Her daily life is a pure fusion of her talents, rooted in sustainability and geared towards a healthy future for our global community.
