Hey! I'm the founder of DiveJourney. I love being in the water any chance I get - ideally just a pair of fins, a mask, and a low-depth spot for some casual freediving with friends. If we're in the same area hit me up on one of my socials - would be cool to grab a beer and hang out or find a new spot to dive.

5/5 12:38 PM(America/Curacao)Mar 11, 2021Scuba DivingThis was my first night dive and first time lionfish hunting - it was awesome. Completely different world once the sun sets on the reef. Some highlights were seahorses, a ton of lobster, multiple moray eels - even one of the eels I watched as it caught a fish which was wild.
