July 17-18  we started off another day by having breakfast. It was at the Jasmine Cabin this time. I had a banana nut muffin and some cereal and a chocolate donut too. So a pretty healthy breakfast overall. After eating, we headed back to our cabin to get organized to go pick up trash washed up ashore near the water...

In the morning the cabin Plum had to make breakfast and Teddy has set out the cereal boxes to spell Plum. As I got there though my hunger was overwhelming and I had no choice but to knock the boxes over in an attempt to grab a box. After that eventful breakfast my group and I finished gathering data...

The first dive we did today was an alternative dive since our first planned dive to the rhone was canceled. It was canceled because the currents were to strong. Instead we went back to the dive place yesterday where we saw sharks. But then for the second dive we went back to the rhone which is...

Another day in the British Virgin Islands, and another two dives. The day started early in the morning and the teachers cooked breakfast for us. After our breakfast, we headed straight for the boats.

Day One, The last two days have been very eventful. Yesterday was our travel day to Virgin Gorda. My day started at 3:30am and ended at 11:30, a solid twenty-hour day.

As we headed down the runway I struggled to sleep on our way to Puerto Rico. We then landed in the medium sized airport with over priced subway and domino where we played cards and watched shows for 5 hours. As the sun set we boarded the small 10 row plane for a loud and vibrating 30 min flight...

I went on the night snorkel after the cookout on Friday. Matt and I were buddies, and we hung out near the back of the group. Eventually, Matt and I swam out so far with Zoltan and Ben that we couldn't see the bottom. As we were swimming to catch up to the group, we saw a stingray and...

Today I woke up at 7:05 despite breakfast being at 7:15, giving me only 10 minutes to get ready. That wasn't the best start to the day. The day could only get better from there and it did. We did more project dives today. Today for our project, my group and I had to find the fish population in...
