2013 Marine Bio II

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...

Day 5 began with yet another early morning breakfast down at the marina. After breakfast we loaded up the boat and headed to the Jesuit Reef at Long Bay. Once we got there, we proceeded to lower all of our cinder blocks into the water in preparation of building our reef. OnCe all the blocks were lowered, we geared...

Yesterday, we woke up and immediately went out on the water for our two tank dive. Our dive insect or Jeff carefully lowered all of our cinder blocks filled with cement. Then, Gavin and I carefully placed them in one of the designated spots, arranging them how we wanted them and proceeding to zip tie them together. Once they...

Day 2 Great second day in the BVI. I was woken by the crow of the obnoxious rooster at 7 AM. Though it was early, a quick shower got me ready for the day. After packing my snorkel, fins, and new underwater camera, I headed down to the commissary for a quick breakfast. I was met there by Casey...

Yesterday was a great day. I was excited about yesterday because I was able to set my cinder block structure down in the Jesuit reef. It was nice to know that I was helping the reef by putting my creation down there. Moving the cinder blocks took a lot of effort though. In order to move the heavy...

Yesterday began with another early morning, and yet another early breakfast at the marina. We then boarded the boats to go to our dive site, the Jesuit Reef, at Long Bay. When we first arrived we were briefed on what the objective was and how we were to move our cinder blocks from the sand to our plant site...

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...
