2013 Week 1

I wanted to be in this class because it looked like a really interesting experience and it was something I had never done before, so I knew it would be a challenge. 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...

My hut awoke to the sharp buzzing sound of the alarm clock. Then we all prepared for our short, basic breakfast at the Dive BVI office. At the office everyone ate bread, cereal, poptarts, and a large assortment of fruit. After breakfast the marine biology one group headed out to the Rhone wreckage site on the coast of...

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 &...

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...

Yesterday began with Doc coming into my room telling us that we were late to catch the bus. I did not know that the bus time was shifted 15 minutes earlier, so I quickly grabbed all of my gear and went to the cattle gate. Once again we ate breakfast at the office and I sat down on the...

I awoke at 7:00 a.m. because of noise from Riccione and routinely went and made coffee for the whole cottage. I drank my cup of coffee and got ready and headed to the commissary and was there with a few marine bio 1 and 2 guys and then we were told we were meeting at...

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...

Saturday After being exhausted from the night before everyone slept hard and suddenly awoke to the alarm clock blaring. Next both marine biology one and two got dressed and took a taxi to the marina where we ate a breakfast similar to the one we had eaten the previous day. We ate at the Dive BVI office and...

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...
