BVI week, Day 3

2

Today we woke up at around 7:30 again. We ate breakfast, and Laura gave a presentation / recap over the species and classes of marine organisms in the BVI. Afterwards we all went to Savannah Bay, which had another wide open beach,, where we snorkeled for a few hours before lunch. After lunch we drove back to the docks and got on the two boats and prepared to go scuba diving in The Chimney. The Chimney was a popular diving site on a nearby island where there was a large crevice and cave that divers could swim through. It was amazing to see the coral formations above my head as I swam through it. Once that was over we went back to the cabins and then to the nearby beach where Jeff grilled burgers and hotdogs for dinner. After dinner, we had a night dive, where we snorkeled out on the water with flashlights and saw all the more nocturnal species, which was cool. Finally, we went back to our cabins and washed up for bed. It is now later than our average curfew and I am very tired. Today was fun and tomorrow we explore a ship wreck.
