Last Day

Day 5 – coral replanting

Another long night of fraternizing and staying awake pointlessly and the cabins one by one went to sleep after splitting up.

Somewhat energized from extra sleep, the...

Day 4 – Day of Diving

Day 4 started very bright and early for Jack and me. Alarms blaring at 6, Jack woke me up and we both put on our running clothes in a groggy haze.

BVI day 3

After another rockin night of blogging, we all headed back to the casas and passed out. An unfortunately quick sleep resulted in another tired morning and a muggy morning. We left to the commissary of breakfast then a presentation on sea turtles, how to catch them, what they eat, etc. Soon after, everyone jumped on the bus and we...

BVI day two

After a night of successful blogging we settled down for bed and fell asleep. The next day came quickly especially since I didn't wake up until 5 min before we had to leave. Although I cut it close, I grabbed all my gear and made it on time to head up to the baths. The baths are these big...
