Long annoying day today. Didn't get any sleep last night, my ear infection was too painful. But I was down by the taxi in enough time to make it to breakfast. I didn't eat because my inner ear was so swollen I couldnt open my jaw. I would like to tell you what reef we went to, but unfortunately...

Today started at 4 in the morning. Outside the weather nice and calm so I fell back in bed and went back to sleep. At 8 I woke with a shout from Alec to find pouring rain and gusting winds. I hurried out of bed and into the taxi, soaked by the time I reached it. We drove to...

It all began with the usual wake-up time at 8 and gathering at 8:30. It was raining cats and dogs. We boarded Speedy's and drove to the marina. We went inside the dive shop and ate breakfast there. When breakfast was over we boarded the boats and drove off to Mountain Point to dive. We geared up on our...

Today started early with a two-tank dive at Mountain Point after we had breakfast. The first dive was our final fun dive of our trip to the BVI. We familiarized ourselves with our surroundings because, after a short surface interval, we would be following up with our fish identification dive. This dive consisted of many steps that we were...

Today marks the final day of diving in the BVI :(... But that was the only negative aspect of av perfect birthday. Today at 12:01 local time, I turned 17. It was probably the best birthday I've ever had. I got to spend this birthday 40 feet underwater looking at some of the most spectacular sights, which most humans...

This morning we woke up to the sound of raindrops and Mr. Kirby knocking on our door. My roommates and I had slept in. We went down to our taxi to begin the day! We went out to Mountain Point and did a practice dive just to get the hang of where we were going to...

Today started unlike any other day, with sideways rain. It set a somewhat somber mood; we had to close the shutters to keep the rain out. It's not that I dislike the rain, but the images that the rain invokes are generally negative, stifling my otherwise cheery disposition. I was also bummed that I had finished my book the...

*Boom...Boom* Thunder wakes me at 5 am. I hear the sound of torrential rain and thunder. The rain continues on as I again wake up at 8 am. We get ready and walk to the taxi in the rain. We make it to the Dive BVI shop and eat inside. Afterwards we get on our boats and head for...

Today was similar to yesterday because we woke up and headed out at 8:30 and ate breakfast at the BVI dive center. After breakfast(which was my favorite so far) we boarded the Sea Dragon and headed out for our first dive site. We made our way to Mountain Point which is where both dives took place. The first dive...
