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.

    Tugboat wreck dive. Tons of fish. Awesome spot I really enjoyed diving around the pier. Saw a few small squid to. Would be cool to come here and just snorkel / shallow freedive. The bar would be a chill spotto hang out also.

    I was doing my Open Water here with Scuba Lodge Petermaii - really awesome house reef. I think they've built some more buildings there since then.
