2014 Marine Bio II

My travels began early Tuesday morning. We arrived at DFW at around 6 a.m. and made our way through security, all with just a few minor hitches. Resplendent in our matching shirts, we boarded our first flight, all staving off sleep. After an extended layover in Miami brought on by a brief downpour, we continued on our way to...

After a long, delayed, and interesting day of travel, it was nearly 9 o clock and completely dark when the shade of Virgin Gorda came into view. Traveling all day had everyone irritable and undeniably ready for sleep, but of course the people in my cabin, Riley and Jack, and myself included talked into the hours of the night...

After a long day of travel, I had slept through the night like a baby. I woke up right around 6:30, got situated, and then decided that I would get some pictures of our view in the early morning. After a few minutes of taking pictures the roosters started to crow, which waked the remainder of my cabin (Andrew...

Well, after a long day of travel yesterday, I was ready for a full day of diving today. However, the night did not go undisturbed, as Jack, Christian, and I found a scorpion in our room at around 10:30 last night.

I am also looking forward to spending time with my peers who share an interest in diving and...

I took this course because of my experience with the course and the trip last year. It was such an incredible experience that I wanted to do it again. I also am fascinated with marine biology and really enjoy learni new things about marine life and the ocean as a whole. I think my experience last year is what...

I took this course because I took Marine Biology 1 last year and I wanted to continue to study the course materials and see the improvement of the coral that our group transplanted last year. I also am fascinated by the ocean and love to study the fish and microscopic organisms that make it up.

I took Marine Biology 2 because I had one of the best experiences last year and I find it interesting. Also, I think it is really important to future economic markets as we explore how things we think aren't a big deal, like lion fish, when they really are.

I am taking Marine Bio 2 because I really enjoyed Marine Biology last year! I want to continue scuba diving throughout the rest of my life as a hobby and hopefully retire as a dive instructor one day.
