Morgan Bentley
Scuba Diver, Ocean Lover, Reef-Protector & Hunter

After traveling the Caribbean for a year post graduation, it was an easy decision for her to move to the Bahamas with her Golden Retriever, Tula. Between Florida and the Bahamas, the hours spent underwater are countless, with lobster and lionfish being a staple in our kitchen.
