2013 Marine Bio II

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...

Day one started off with Clayton Caldwell, who is rooming with Matt Mizzini and I, waking me up at 6:30. After I woke up I hopped in the shower and walked down to the street to wait for the taxi. The taxi dropped us off at Old Yarde, where we ate our breakfast, which consisted of eggs, blue berry...

Today I woke up at around 7 and took a nice shower before we had to head down to the internet cafe for breakfast. We were treated to a nice breakfast by Casey before we took our boat, the Sea Dragon, over to Deep Bay for a snorkel. At Deep Bay, we explored the mangroves system and mapped the...

Back in the BVI... We started out waking up early to a great breakfast at Olde Yard, followed by a presentation by Laura on fish habitats and fish identification. After the presentation, Casey gave us a big surprise. Dive BVI granted all of the marine biology 2 students DC1400 underwater cameras. We will be using these cameras for 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...

I signed up for Marine Biology 2 because I thought Marine Biology 1 was a lot of fun and Marine Biology 2 could only get better. I also signed up for Marine Biology again because I wanted to learn more about the ocean and how humans are harming it. I am looking forward to catching lion fish down in...

Today began with another early morning. After eating breakfast at the bottom of the hill, we had a great presentation about tagging turtles. We learned about the different types of turtles in the BVI. We also learned that turtles do not stay in one place all the time, they are constantly changing locations and nesting on different beaches around...

Today was a great day that started off with a wonderful breakfast at Casey's office. I had an apple and an apple juice to get myself prepped for the two tank dive today. The two tank dive is where we went on two consecutive dives one after the other with two separate tanks at two separate sites. The first...

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...
