2013 Week 2

Day 4 Today, I awoke to the crowing of roosters, and the shuffling of feet. It was 7 o clock, and my whole crew moseyed on Down to the commissary to dine on Donuts and nutri grain bars. Dr. Gore debriefed is on everything to know about turtles. I think I can finally determine whether a turtle is green...

We began the day with a breakfast at the marina. After eating, we headed out about 20 minutes away. Once we got there, we discussed how we would be collecting and transplanting coral. We first went on a snorkel to scout out any potential areas where coral might be in need of rescuing. After returning to the boat, we...

1) Why this class? I choose this class because I have always been interested in marine life and animals in general.

After waking up at 7:00 A.M and an awesome breakfast, we heated over to the baths. These are huge basalt rocks which were formed millions of years ago by lava that seeped through cracks in the earth. As we climbed through the cracks, we saw xenoliths which were rocks that froze in the lava while it...

I slept very well a couple nights ago, as I was exhausted from the turtle chasing. We woke up, got our gear ready, and met up with the group at the cattle guard. Glen, the taxi driver, then picked us up and took us to the marina where we had breakfast of banana bread and fruit. We then got...

The day started at 7:30 today! We had an 8:00 taxi to the Marina and we were told to be at the cattle guard by 7:45. We had breakfast at the marina today; I ate a banana, banana bread (cake), a cinnamon apple nutrigrain bar, and, of course, Pops. We then loaded our BCDs and regs into the boat....

I have no diving experience, but I am signed up to become certified. 3. The thing that I am looking forward to the most is being able to do the night dive and the barbecue...

We woke up this morning, refreshed and ready for another day of scuba diving. We awoke a tad later then everyone and quickly gathered our gear, but we were the last cabin to the cattle guard, where we meet daily. From there, we walked to the Internet café where we ate a breakfast of cereal and banana bread. We...
