Today was the another great day and the last day of scuba diving in the BVI. I woke up today to the sound of fierce rain. The trees outside were swaying from side to side and then one of our bug screens flew off the window. I fell back to sleep. Then 8:20 came, Doc and Mr. Kirby were...

What a day. We started the day of once again by leaving thr Guavaberry compound at 8:30 except today, we left for the marina where we ate breakfast. After we finished, we immediatley jumped onto the diveboat where we went to dive at a ship wreck. The ship that was called the HMS Rhone. The ship was made by...

Today was hump day and another fine day of the BVI. We began our day by eating breakfast as usual. Afterwards, we learned how to do transect a reef. We learned how to lay down a line on the reef. Then, we practiced observation techniques. Later, after the rest of the class, we had lunch and then went to...

Today was the first day of marine biology actually at BVI and I've got only 3 words to say. PAR-A-DISE. Since we arrived so late last night, we could not see the island view, but when i crawled out of bed this morning, I saw a view that I've only seen in National Geographic and hollywood films. Before I...

Today was another ecstatic dayo f marine biology, but sadly, our last day of actual class. But on the plus side, we are going to the British Virgin Islands. Well, onto today. We began class by discussing two articles. The first was about fish that areable to "live" on land. The specific fish mentioned in the article was the...

Ahhh, another day of marine biology. Today we began class by finishing our shark disection. After we finished we went back into the classroom to discuss last nights readings. This first reading was about porpises and their acoustic behavior in relation to hunting. What we learned and concluded is that the porpoises echolocating is similar to the large tooth...

Today was a very exciting and great day. We started the day off by filling out a sheet on last nights readings. Then we discussed the amazing mimic octopus. It was an awsome discussion because we discussed how these amazing creatures use very cool camoflouge techniques to evade predators. One of their technoques is to group all oftheir tentacles...

Today was another succesful day of Marine Biology. We began by discucssing two articles, one of them concerning a certain species of fish and how they effect coral. Then we began discussing as groups, a hypothetical situation in which we needed to figure out how to save coral species "x". Our group came up with a pretty detailed plan...

Today was another great day of class. At the beginning, we went over a few articles concerning sponges. Then we took notes on invertebrates, but only went over a general view of the class because there is so much information regarding the spinless class on animals. After a quick break, we dissected a starfish and a squid. This was...
