2014 Marine Bio II

I am taking Marine Biology 2 because I like diving, and the ocean is an awesome place. I mean, I think so. I also really enjoyed the course last year, so moving to the second level just makes sense. I can't wait to go visit the BVI again, and hopefully see tons of interesting and new...

Today. The last day of diving here in the BVI. Gotta make this interesting. So today started like every previous day so far: wake up, back to sleep, get up, shower, change, bus, and breakfast. Today, however, was coral planting day. We mighty, manly men of Marine 2 went first to...

So the last day of being at the BVI was a little more relaxed. We woke up around 9:00, and that extra hour made a difference, as we now had even more time to sleep. We had breakfast over at Kirby, Gruninger, and Golab's cabin, consisting of huge freaking donuts, some yogurt, fruit bars, apples, and various...

Well, today was another fantastic and adventurous day to say the least. We started out by going to breakfast, which for me consisted of eggs and bacon once again. As always, it was delicious and filling, enough to where I wasn't hungry again until lunch time. After breakfast, we hopped onto the boat and went to our first dive...

Today I slept in a little and woke up at 7:15. Then I walked down to the cattle guard to get picked up by Glenn. This morning at the restaurant in the middle of the marina I decided to try the bacon omelet. It was quite filling and tasty at the same time. After doing this Marine 2 went...

Well, today was a pretty spectacular day. However, last night Christian, Jack, and I had a close encounter of the arachnid kind yet again. Before we went to bed, Jack almost had a large spider, about the size of a half dollar, land on his head. However the problem was swiftly taken care of by Christian. After all that,...

I woke up at the routine 6:30, prepared for the day, and met everyone at the cattle guard at 7:50. We were taken to the restaurant inside the marina for breakfast. Here, I enjoyed some over-medium eggs, bacon, and toast. Following breakfast, Marine 1 & 2 went into the Dive BVI shop to learn about sea turtles from Dr....

I woke up today at around 7:00, after an amazing night of well-needed rest. I got my gear packed up, got dressed, and was down at the cattle guard by 7:45. We had the best breakfast today at a restaurant near the Marina. We actually have a couple of choices for breakfast. This morning I ordered a bacon and...

I was woken up at 6:30 by the screeching cocka-doodle-doo of a rooster. I then abruptly heard the sound of my phone’s alarm. I got up threw on my swimsuit and slid my feet into my flip-flops and walked out to the kitchen area to get my water. I opened the freezer and as expected my water was frozen....
