Today I woke up at 6:20 to begin preparing for breakfast. We had cereal and honey buns for breakfast. We then went to the boats for our fun day. We first went to the dive site of the RMS Rhone and saw that the current was too strong so we went and dove at Wreck Alley. I saw many...

Today we started with breakfast in Plum cabin. We then went to the docks to prepare for the long day ahead of us. As we got to the boat, I learned that today would be a three dive day. Two dives before lunch and one after lunch would be very tiresome. Our first dive was when my group was...

We started our day by eating breakfast in mango cabin. Then we got on Glen's taxi and headed to the marina. All of our dives today were scheduled to be research dives and we went out to do our dives. The first two locations we went to had a strong current so we couldn't dive them but the third...

Day 4: Today, we split from the marine 2 students and went to Savannah beach while they enjoyed special time at Neckar Island, where we will go next year.
