2013 Marine Bio II

After a long day of traveling, we were immediately greeted by the always joyful Casey and Jeff. They quickly got us onto the boat and we headed to the cabins. This year I am rooming Buck Lyon, Chris Wengierski, and Alex Curry. We were exhausted from a long day of travel so we showered up and soon went to...

Once we had a long day of traveling, Christian, Chris, Alex and I finally got to our wonderful room at the Guavaberry resort. In the room we had some nice snack and Gatorade waiting for us after being in an airport for a near day. In the morning we woke up at seven and got ready for the breakfast...

I signed up for marine biology 2 because I was hoping to have as much fun as I did last year. I am looking forward to traveling back to the British Virgin Islands and all the dives we will be participating in. Unfortunately, this trip is not until July; however, in the first week of summer school we reviewed...

Imagine the joy you had as a child making your imagination come to life with Legos. Now take that and put it underwater in the most beautiful part of the world. That was my day yesterday as I helped facilitate the construction of the Jesuit Reef in Long Bay off of Virgin Gorda. I myself went on three dives:...

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...

I signed up for Marine Biology 2 because I could not help but come back to the British Virgin Islands after my breathtaking trip last summer. I'm looking forward to partaking in another adventure with Dive BVI in the Islands again this summer, and tracking the growth of the coral we planted last summer. However, this week, preparing for...

The first dive we did today was at wreck ally. Wreck alley is a section of purposely sunken ships off Cooper Island. These four ships were sunken in the late 1900's purposely because of damage to the ships. On this dive our depth was about 85ft which is one of the deepest dive we've done. ...

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 I was awakened by the sharp cockadoodledoo of a native BVI rooster at the crack of dawn. We quickly packed our bags and were off to the docks where we were fed a light breakfast that consisted of cereal, poptarts, and fruit. After our early morning meal, we boarded our boat and were off to our dive...
