What a day it has been. Today was different than all the others in that we had breakfast at the marina before we headed out for our two dives. Our first dive was awesome because we did a wreck dive and I had never done one before. We got to observe the artificial reef and the different areas of...

Today was a whirlwind! It all started at 8AM when Will's Iphone alarm went off and awoke the cabin. We made our way down to the taxi to head the the marina for a quick bite to eat and head straight to the boat for two tank dives. We our first dive took place at Wreck of the Rhone,...

Today was really fun we had no classroom time, which means a lot more water time. Our first dive was the wreck of the Rhone it was sweet, it was filled with many cool fishes. I must have seen a trumpet fish and billions of others. The coolest part about it was the actual wreckage I love the part...

Today was a major dive, a two tank dive. A two tank dive is a dive in which you complete a normal dive, followed by a surface interval (about 45m- 1h) which alleviates excess nitrogen from your blood, then another complete dive. Our first dive site was the wreck of the RMS Rhone, a ship which wrecked during a...

Another great day today! Mr.Kirby and I were able to acquire student volunteers from the esteemed Guavaberry Villa (Dave, Brody, and Hayden) to wake all the other students up on time this morning. I really appreciated them doing that out of the goodness of their heart... Needless to say, I was able to have a relaxing morning enjoying coffee and...

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...

This morning, we broke routine by taking a day off from diving. Instead, we learned about a transect that we were going to be doing. A transect, in this case, is a 100 meter section of a coral reef that we as a class will be studying. We will be counting the different species of fish...

Another day has gone by, and today marks the half way point of the week. The day started as usual, the daily routine, waking up at 8:00, taking a shower, going out front by 8:30 and than hopping on to speedy's to take us to the Ole' Yard Village. We ate breakfast and then Casey began to teach us...

Today I woke up, brushed my locks, shaaa. After that I went out on the balcony to gaze at the earths soul:"I love you big blue" then I yelled my middle name at the top of my lungs in pure darkness, this represented my soul. Our day was about fish identification, shaaaa. It cured me. Then we went to...
