2013 Week 1

Day three was a very active day. The morning led off with a snorkel and a touch tank. We dove with our instructors and collected things to look at in a tank. Once we got on land we picked up various sea urchins and coral to examine while the instructors told us all about them. We then had some...

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 &...

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 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...

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 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...

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...

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...

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...
