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.
Final Dive in BVI
Our final day of diving here in the BVI began uneventfully, but for a full recap, please see the opening sentences of past posts. Where the days begin to differ was when we went back to the dive shop. Today, Casey had printouts of a panorama view from the camera we installed. Reverting to our kindergarten love of arts...
Day 5 Transplanting Coral
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...
Day 4 – Day of Diving
Day 4 started very bright and early for Jack and me. Alarms blaring at 6, Jack woke me up and we both put on our running clothes in a groggy haze. Luckily, I couldn't think straight and didn't understand what I was getting myself into when Casey told us we would be hill running, otherwise I would have convinced...
Saving the Reef, one Piece of Coral at a Time
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...
The Camera Adventure
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,...
Day 5~ Jez Reef Round 2
Again the day started off with our usual routine: wake up, pack up, and head down to the cattle guard for the 8:00 taxi! For breakfast I had the bacon & cheese omelette again. After I finished dinner I went over to the Dive BVI shop and bought an awesome hat and shirt. Our plan for the day was...
A Fantastic First Day Back in the BVI
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. That had me up for a while, paranoid that I would have thousands of scorpions crawling all over...
All Good Things Must Come to an End~ Day 6
Today started off at around 8:00. Our schedule for today was a little bit different. We were going to eat breakfast at around 9:00 over at the teachers' cabin. For breakfast I had a huge chocolate donut and some apple juice. After we ate we had a couple of minutes before the Glenn came to pick us up at...
