2013 Week 1

My day started off much more enjoyably than yesterday morning. I woke up exhausted, but at the same time I was excited and ready to take on the day. Me and Jackson White then left the house to go have a delicious breakfast at the internet cafe, consisting of a donut equivalent in size to a regulation basketball and...

Day two was a great day in the water. Our morning activity was a snorkel at "the baths" where we saw a ton of different fish and a barracuda. The afternoon activity was a very fun dive where we saw a reef shark, sea turtle, lion fish and many more cool fish. The other cool thing about todays...

Today was thoroughly packed, yet one of the best days I've had this year; There were a lot of firsts for me as well. This morning I woke up to the sound of a Rooster, which was definitely a first. The morning came very fast, but the crow of the rooster was just a symbol that today would not...

The day first began when both roosters and sharp, bright bursts of sunlight awoke both me and one of my roommates. Whom then proceeded to prepare for the day by putting on sunscreen and packing scuba gear. Next we headed to a restaurant via a taxi. There we ate a breakfast of eggs, ham,...

I woke up at 7:00 a.m. from the crow of a rooster and a ray of sunlight in my eyes. I was exhausted from the prior day of travel. As I walked into the kitchen I looked out the porch and was able to see the ocean and other British Virgin Islands. Everyone in the cabin got up and...

I awoke this morning in a cold sweat to the intrusion of roommate Zac Bishkin, kindly reminding me that I had mistakenly set my alarm to Dallas time, subsequently moving it an hour behind. After this I put on my red, 5 inch in-seem swim trunks and left my cabin with my gear. We took our taxi, which was...

Today was the very first dive of the trip. When we first got into the water, we reviewed our basic skills to make sure we did not forget them. We did the partially flooded mask, sharing air, and neutral buoyancy. After each person in our group of four completed those things, we were able to explore the reef with...

Starting at 7 in the morning, day one began slow after an exhausting previous days travel. As a group we went over to Old Yarde for an amazing breakfast with members of the dive BVI staff. We met Casey, Jeff, Jeff Jr., Catlyn, Laura, Pablo, & Fernando & following their introductions we introduced ourselves to them & received...

Clayton woke us up at about 6:30-- unintentionally he claims. Grumbling, Gavin and I got dressed and all of us headed over to the Plum Tree cabin to see some of our classmates. It was 7:00, so everyone was just waking up and asking us (with a few expletives) why we were awake. At 7:45, the taxi driver Glenn...
