2013 Marine Bio II

I got to hang out with my boys from Marine Biology II today, (I was missing them) and here are some photos and video from our morning dives. Love Doc

We started off the day by going down to Casey's office and have a wonderful feast of yogurt, pears, mangos, and granola bars down by the marina. Once we fed all the nearby chickens Pop-Tarts, Marine Bio 2 got onto Sea Dragon and headed over to a dive site called "Wreck Alley" in Deep Chromis off the coast of...

After waking up at 7:15 and showering, Glenson again shuttle us, this time to the marina for breakfast. Shout out to Casey and Jeff who again graciously set up a breakfast of cereal, yogurt, and fruit and allowed us to use their office for breakfast. After devouring our breakfast we prepared for the day by applying sunscreen and setting...

Surprisingly once again I was not woken up by my dive partner, Clayton Caldwell, but instead I was woken up by my alarm clock on my Ipad. After taking a shower, my roommates and I walked down to the street to wait for the taxi. When everyone got to the street, we got on the taxi and drove down...

Today was another early start. We began the day with, yet again, another early morning. We took a taxi to the marina where we enjoyed another great breakfast. After breakfast we hopped on the boat immediately to head over toward Cooper Island. Our first dive at Cooper Island was Wreck Alley, which includes four purposely sunk ships. We...

This is fire coral. You may not believe it, but there's something amazing about fire coral. The BVI is fraught with it, and its difficult to find a location that doesn't have it in abundance. Named for the fiery stinging feeling experienced when the stinging bristles come into contact with skin, fire coral is the bane of poorly buoyant divers...

This morning I was woken up at 6am by screeching chickens, yay. I promptly fell asleep right after that however, and was woken up by Doc an hour later. Andrew, Julian, and I got ready and walked down to the cattle guard to wait for everyone else to arrive. We all got on the taxi and headed toward the...

Today, we woke up and met at the cattle guard waiting for Glenn, our taxi driver, to take us to the docks for breakfast. After a fantastic cereal and pop tart breakfast, we loaded our gear onto the boats and we headed to Wreck Alley for our two tank dive. The boat ride was about 20 minutes but it...

Today was another fascinating day. Today we woke up as usual and went to breakfast. We enjoyed a nice quick and light breakfast in preparation for our awesome day. We had a long day in front of us and needed a quick breakfast. Casey prepared the perfect platter of fruit and cereal. Following breakfast we...
