Morgan Bentley

Scuba Diver, Ocean Lover, Reef-Protector & Hunter

Born and raised in Key West, Morgan has been surrounded by water her entire life. With both parents as dive masters, water activities became second nature - so much so that she swam competitively in college while pursuing her Bachelors in Marine Biology. 

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.
