Barbecue and Murder
Yesterday began with another early morning, and yet another early breakfast at the marina. We then boarded the boats to go to our dive site, the Jesuit Reef, at Long Bay. When we first arrived we were briefed on what the objective was and how we were to move our cinder blocks from the sand to our plant site...
Another Wreck Dive
Today was another early start. We began the day with, yet again, another early morning. We took a taxi to the marina where we enjoyed another great breakfast. After breakfast we hopped on the boat immediately to head over toward Cooper Island. Our first dive at Cooper Island was Wreck Alley, which includes four purposely sunk ships. We...

I am looking forward to traveling back to the British Virgin Islands and all the dives we will be participating in. Unfortunately, this trip is not until July; however, in the first week of summer school we reviewed...
Days 6 & 7
Today was a laid back day. I woke up early, and just chilled on the patio until we had to walk to breakfast at the teachers cabins. We ate muffins, croissants, and had caprisun to drink. It was a breakfast that tasted very good. After breakfast we walked down to the cattle guard, and waited for the teacher in...
