2013 Marine Bio II

1. Why you signed up for marine bio 2 I signed up for Marine Bio 2 for numerous reasons. First and foremost, I had a blast last year in Marine Bio 1 in the BVI. The Dive BVI crew, Mr. Kirby, and Doc made it an experience I will never forget. It was the best combination of learning and fun...

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...

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

Today I was awoken by a pleasant bird chirp, not too loud but loud enough to wake me up at 7:15 to be at breakfast by 8:00. Breakfast was again in the Guavaberry commissary as Casey supplied huge chocolate donuts. Beginning during breakfast and continuing after, Dr. Shannon Gore again gave us a lecture, this time about Turtles...

Yesterday started of with me waking up and taking a shower after Clayton and Mat finished their shower. After we all finished with our shower, we walked down to the road, so Glenn could pick us up and take us to the BVI Office for breakfast. I had a donut and some cereal. Then we drove the boat to...

Discovery. Adrenaline. Position. Thrust. Contact. Escape. Pursuit. Dismay. So did my single encounter with a lionfish progress today. Once again, I've only managed to injure the infidel, though my conquest continues. Our morning began with a light breakfast but a heavy presentation by Dr. Gore on the state of the turtles in the world and in the Caribbean. Our mission...

Marine Bio 1 & 2 began our day just like any other, we took a taxi down to Casey's office and ate breakfast down by the marina. Marine Bio 2 went to Long Bay and assembled their coral. First, Killian and I assembled his reef structures by putting them down with ropes and carrying them over to the desired...

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...

Today, after Andrew and I struggled for ten minutes to get Killian up, we headed down to Guavaberry's commissary and ate a wonderful breakfast provided by Casey. As we ate this feast of yogurt and chocolate donuts, we watched Dr. Shannon Gore's presentation on the turtles of the BVI. In this presentation we discovered that there are four different...
