2013 Week 1

Today started out with Casey giving introductions and a review of what an exciting week Dive BVI have planned for both Marine Biology 1 and Marine Biology 2 courses. The guys got some pretty sweet looking T-Shirts. Additionally, the Marine Biology 2 students scored sweet graduation gifts from Dive BVI, a Sea Life DC 1400 Pro Underwater Camera! (See Alex...

We made it! The guys did great and are getting some rest before we hit the ground running with checkout dives in the morning. They will be blogging tomorrow, so look forward to hearing their stories. I can already tell it is going to be a great week! Ben Kirby

I have never been scuba diving before besides a lake for a scuba certification class but from what i hear its a great experience. Also the way i see it, i can either sit in a science class all semester or go scuba diving at the british virgin islands with my classmates. I am looking forward to seeing some...

This class also provides me with an opportunity to not only learn through a classroom setting, but also...

1. I'm taking this class because I'm interested in marine biology as a possible future career path. This class will serve as an intro into the field of marine biology & allow me to gauge my interest in the course. 2. Currently I have no diving experience other than the classroom portion of the dive certification process. ...

Regarding my dive experience, I've never been diving aside from just messing around with a snorkel in a swimming pool. I am currently getting certified to be a...

I joined this class to learn about marine life, and so that I could visit and dive in the Virgin Islands. I have been diving since I was 13, and in those five years I have gone on 7 dives in Cozumel and Cancun. Since the Virgin Islands seem to be like both Cancun and Cozumel, I am looking...

1. Why this class? I chose this class because I am extremely interested in science courses, particularly biology. I think this class will also increase my understanding of biology. Furthermore, the one week trip to the British Virgin Islands is a one of a kind experience that I am excited to try. 2. Diving Experience? I dove yesterday in an eight...

I chose to take Marine Biology at Jesuit because I saw this as an opportunity of a lifetime. I had a little peer pressure from my sister who attends Texas A&M and has taken oceanography and a cousin who took marine biology at the University of Miami. They both told me of the endless possibilities and how this would...
