Thanks. You're lucky if you see even a horn shark or leopard shark in kelp beds these days. I think in the 60-70s you could see blue sharks, soupfin sharks, and a few others here and there, but they're mostly gone now. You can see six-gill sharks somewhat reliably in La Jolla when they're known to be in the area. It's extremely rare to see something like a great white shark. Of all the 10s of thousands of divers in California, one person might catch a fleeting glimpse of one every couple years. So to answer your question, I've seen the small sharks but have never seen the big guys with near 1000 kelp dives up and down the coast.
