2014 Marine Bio II

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...

After fulfilling ourselves at dinner, day one ended with some blogging and chilling. Couple of friends and I decided to play spoons until bedtime was enforced, which turned extremely competitive very quick. After spoons finished flying ands exacts champions were made, everyone split up and went to the cabins. We talked for a bit and hit the hay. Jack...

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...

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.

Another long night of fraternizing and staying awake pointlessly and the cabins one by one went to sleep after splitting up. I slept very well and woke up just in time to leave to meet with everyone, maximizing my sleep and obviously skipping the planned workout due to unexpected soreness from yesterday's run. Somewhat energized from extra sleep, the...

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....

There are several reasons that I am wanting to go back on the Marine Biology trip. The first is obviously having the opportunity to spend a week on a picturesque island, but more importantly to see how our reef has progressed. I am also looking forward to spending time with my peers who share an interest in diving and...

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...
