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,...

Today I woke up pretty early, around 6:30am and got a good start to the day. I dreaded getting up early but it was not too bad. We then went to breakfast and Laura gave a lecture on different types of fish and coral species that we would see later today. After the lecture we drove over to Savannah...

Last night wasn't as fulfilling as the night before but I still woke up rested and refreshed. The soothing morning cracks on the door from Doc and Mr. Kirby begin the day with a bang. After some delicious breakfast we were taught by Casey how to breathe deeper and hold our breaths longer so that we could...

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...

Day 1: Today started with an early morning, and a little orientation from the owner of guava berry. After the brief orientation we went to breakfast where we met our dive guides, Laura, Casey, Jeff, and Brian. We were given guidelines and rules for diving and for on the boat. We were split up into to groups for each boat,...

This morning I woke up with no chickens outside my window, surprisingly, and took a shower. I then went and uploaded my last blog, which I will probably do tomorrow morning as well. I put my iPad back in my room, and headed down to the cattle guard, and played frisbee with everyone for a few minutes. The taxi...

Unfortunately, these were our last full days in Virgin Gorda. I woke up at 7:45 to get ready for the day. After I showered, I walked over to the teacher's cabin for breakfast. Once there, we all ate breakfast and I had a blueberry muffin and banana bread. After breakfast, we all walked on the main road to paint...
