2013 Week 1

Footage from our last couple days in Virgin Gorda with Dive BVI. It was an amazing week and the guys were awesome. I have much love and respect for each of them and appreciate their hard work and respect they showed during their week here on the island. Miss you guys already! Doc

Yesterday was a two tank dive for coral replant the first dive we went and collected coral and the second dive we worked with marine two guys to set the coral up for growth. The afternoon consisted of a short snorkel because we went to mass in the afternoon. This was a very cool mass and also intresting because...

My two pound weight in one hand, side by side with my dive buddy Zac, we search carefully for staghorn & elkhorn suffering from some kind of visual malady.

I spent the day with the Marine Biology 1 boys today and we had a great day identifying fish that we have been learning about. I made a short video with highlights from our day. Please excuse the audio choice...the only songs I had on my iPad were my daughter's, and although Taylor Swift's I knew you were trouble...

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...
