2013 Week 2

Today I was rudely awakened by a rooster at 6:00 A.M.. After laying in bed awake listening to the same rooster crow for the next hour and a half, I got up and picked up my dive bag and walked down to the cattle guard to meet up with the group. After everyone was gathered we got on the...

The Jesuit Coral Corral and Diving with Ghosts Day 4... This day began similarly to the last two, we had a tasty breakfast and got in the boats. Then we went to the "coral corral" where we continued the strategy of "over-planting" to build Jesuit's reef. Over-planting consists of collecting pieces of dying stag and elkhorn coral and then replanting them...

The day began a little rough. Exhausted from the long day yesterday, it took almost as much effort to wake up today as it is the day of a big test after an allnighter. After pulling myself out of bed, I went to wash my face and put in my contacts. Of course, one of them fell out of...

1. I enrolled in this class because marine life interests me, and I want to become more knowledgeable about what goes on in the ocean. 2. 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...

I woke up at the same time as yesterday and the morning routine in the cabin was also the same. Breakfast was great, and we learned a bit about turtles (mainly loggerheads, green, and hawksbill) and their characteristics by Dr. Gore. After breakfast our boat groups broke up and Sea Dragon went to catch turtles and Sea Monkey went...

Today, I woke up very early in the morning because I went to bed early e night before. I tried to go back to sleep but woke up a couple minutes later so I decided to just listen to music until everyone else woke up. We met down in the wifi room for breakfast, donuts and cereal. During breakfast,...

The day began in a peaceful fashion, with the blaring combination of alarms and guys yelling to wake up. As I arose, jolted from my slumber, I had little time to wash my face, throw on my clothes, eat some Reese's Peanut Butter CupsTM,, and walk to the front of Guava Berry. Once everyone was accounted for, we were...

Day 4: Today, I got up with a good feeling that it was going to be a fantastic day on the ocean. I woke up, packed my diving gear, and got ready for the 7:45 meeting time at the cattle guard. We then went strait to the marina, where Casey had banana bread, bananas, bread with peanut butter and...

Alex, get out of the sun! Day 3... The day began with a breakfast. A marvelous and masterful breakfast of donuts. This cheered me up as my sunburns were pretty painful mostly because I forgot about them and tried to scratch my bug bites. Ouch! After breakfast we spent the rest of the morning trying to catch turtles. It started raining about...
