2012 Week 2

Today started early, roughly 8:00 pm, which was hard enough before including the fact that none of us got to bed until about 2 in the morning. I got up, put up my swim suit as well as a t shirt then waited for my roommates Sean Lyden, Alex Dieste, Andrew Chittoor, and Caesar Garcia to be ready. I...

Today was even better than yesterday. We didn't do any actual diving but we did snorkel ALOT which I would say is actually better because you have more freedom. You can do more personal exploring instead of having to stay in a group. The day started out with waking up at 7:45 and heading down to the front where...

Today we woke up at 7:30 and, like yesterday, we all gathered and left to eat breakfast. After breakfast, we had breathing exercises to test how long we could hold our breath in preparation for today's activities. I wasn't near the best of our group and I could only hold my breath for about 45 seconds, but we learned...

Today I woke up once more to the familiar calming voice of Mr. Kirby. The early sun lightly touched my face as I walked to the morning meeting spot. We once again took a cab to a delicious breakfast and meeting that set the tone of the day. We begun with exercises strait out of a yoga book, peacefully...

Day two here in paradise was another gorgeous one. Today was much different than the first. While the first day we all were overcome by the beauty of this foreign place, today we started to settle in and get comfortable with both each other and our surroundings. When we woke up we received another great breakfast that filled us...

Captain's Log - Star Date July 13, 2012 Today we awoke right as the sun rose, at a grueling 7:30 AM. As outrageous as that was, I survived and arrived early to our usual meeting place. We took the taxi/bus/truck to our breakfast consisting of sausage, hot dogs, and eggs. The protein was off the charts and the taste right...

Today was a very interesting day, yet I had so much fun. We went turtle tagging in the morning after we had eaten breakfast. The lecture before was also very good, because it made me consider the value that the turtle cause to the ocean. While going turtle tagging we got a small turtle which we named Squirtle....

Day 2: Today started off with another early morning that proved to be too early for some people. Many people showed up late to the usual morning meeting spot. Whenever everyone was there we loaded up the taxi and headed to the olde yard where we met up with our dive guides and had a good breakfast. After breakfast Casey...

**Photo credit - Bennet @ The Baths**We woke up this morning at 7:45 and took showers before making our way down to the cattle guard. Breakfast was again great and I was pretty full afterwards. We then had a man from the conservation and fisheries department come and talk to us about sea turtles. He outlined the different types...
