2013 Week 1

Every aspect of today simply was strong; every day out here seems to just get stronger. This morning we woke up at 7:10 after a night of playing cards in the cabin. I felt pretty sleepy at first but as soon as I had my coffee I was up and ready to go. We met at the road at...

Today we started off with a double tank dive at the Rhone. The Rhone is a sunken ship that has turned into a dive site with all sorts of marine organisms. When we first got down there we saw all sorts of fish and one of the coolest things i saw was a group of 13 squid who let...

Waking up this morning was tough, I finally crawled out of bed around 7:20 after much procrastination & I have never made a better decision. After arriving at the cattle gate at 7:45 we were taken over to the harbor for breakfast at the Dive BVI office, thanks to all of Dive BVI for hosting our meal &...

My day began similar to most, however there was no annoying chicken making terrible noises outside of our doors in the morning. Already in a good mood due to undisturbed sleep, I rose out of my bed and grabbed a cup of Andrew's coffee (this has now become a morning tradition at our house). Me and Jackson had a...

We had a great time today with Marine Biology 1! We went to Savannah Bay for a beautiful snorkel and to learn about invertebrates and then headed off to tag turtles! Love Doc

Waking up around 7:15, there was a rush to get to breakfast on time at the Internet cafe. Upon arriving at the cafe we ate a delicious breakfast soon followed by a special presentation on turtles by Doctor Shannon Gore. She explained the evolution of turtles seen in the Caribbean consisting of Loggerhead, Green, Hawksbill, & Leatherback turtles. ...

Our entire cabin awoke at nearly the same time to our alarms going off. We then prepared for the long day we had ahead of us, excited to know we would be turtle tagging. Once we were ready we went to the Guavaberry entertainment center where we ate a breakfast of poptarts, donuts, and fruit. While...

I woke up at 7:00 because our alarm went off, and like every other day I was one of the first up and went and made some coffee for everyone. Today I drank my coffee on our patio with Austin because we had bug spray. We could feel the sea breeze and we could see the ocean and many...

Today I woke up, having forgotten to set my own alarm, by my room mate Jackson White. Unbeknownst to all of us at the time being, Jackson would later stake his claim to fame in the afternoon to come. I immediately rushed to the coffee pot that Andrew had been working on for the past 15 minutes and made...
