Today we woke up, on the third day, and were exhausted. I was still happy to go diving but was tired on the boat after climbing up from the water. While we scuba dived, though, I couldn’t have been having more fun. Today we saw a ray swimming by as we were about 80 meters down. We did one experiment per dive this time and after going down on the first time and seeing mountains of coral reef and swimming over it, we went down to see the plane where zach was surrounded by a school of Bar Jacks as I swam into them. We were able to go through the plane which was covered in coral and get close to some of the large coral heads on the plane. After getting back and working on our research some, we went to the beach to play beach games and my team, marine 2 lime time won after a tie breaking game of wheelbarrow racing. We were rewarded with free hats and all of us got to eat delicious hotdogs and hamburgers. Afterwards we went snorkeling, but me, zach, will, and evan headed back after zach got stung by a jellyfish on the nipple and I had to follow him as he was my partner. Then it began to rain hard so we had to head back to the commissary before heading back to our cabin and eventually coming back to the commissary to write blogs. I predict another night of solid napping.
