2012 Week 2

Captain's Log - Star Date July 12, 2012 ^ The plane we took to get to Tortola Today marked the end of our lives as students and green divers and the beginning of diving veterans and marine biologists. We awoke early this morning around 8 am. The commanders came by and awoke us from our slumber. We awoke and readied ourselves...

Day 4, Today was an early dive. We woke up and immediately went down to the marina to get a start on the R.M.S. Rhone dive, which I was looking forward to second most out of the entire trip. We ate breakfast while we took the boat ride there. We split it into two dives- the bow and the stern,...

After some delicious breakfast we were taught by Casey how to breathe deeper and hold our breaths longer so that we could...

I am proud to say that I am a member of the elite corps of men who have tagged a turtle. Not only that, but I also fulfilled a lifelong dream and snorkeled a great reef today. Very exciting day today.... Again, I had some trouble sleeping, as it is not only hot/humid, but I was also very enthused about...

There are certain experiences that an individual goes through that they will keep with them for the rest of their lives. Personally, I have had a few. Germany with my soccer team, Costa Rica with my family and Chicago with my Aunt and Uncle. Marine Biology 2012 will without a doubt make that list. I...

Not often do I feel an uncanny need to produce a multimillion dollar film about a cruise ship, once named unsinkable, that tragically crashed leaving nearly all passengers dead, all due to error on the captain's part. Truly, the story of the sinking of the R.M.S. Rhone is a tragic one. But the fact that it led to what...
