2012 Week 1

We started out the day a little earlier today with Cedar Cabin waking up at 7:30. We put on our clothes and once again took the taxi driven by Glenn, but only after playing frisbee with everybody. Once again team Sea Monkey and Sea Dragon ate at the marina and left off of the harbor bright and early with...

It has gotten to the point where we've all lost track of days, someone told me it was Friday but I'm skeptical. Whatever day it is, its a grand one. We woke up and made our way out to the harbour where we had brekky then set sail for our dive site at the R.M.S. Rhone, an English ship...

This trip just keeps getting better and better. Today was another great day with a two tank dive, some snorkeling, and then mass and dinner. We woke up at 7:30 and headed down to the gate to get picked up by the taxi. We went straight to the marina and ate breakfast there. After we finished we went over...

The sponge has so many unique attributes that distinguish them from other marine organisms. These invertebrates have no circulatory, nervous, or digestive systems and are made of a jelly-like substance known...

Today was an early day, with a 7:45 breakfast so we could get to our service sight. The community service was hard but great. We painted and prepare a wall for a mural to be painted and hauled soil to plant palm trees and make the city a little more beautiful. I started as a shoveler and...

Today was a great day. The day started when I woke and walked down to the place where we wait for the truck. After about a couple of minutes the truck came to pick us up and take us to harbor. When we got to the harbor, we ate breakfast, which was eggs, banana beard, and fruit juice....
