2014 Marine Bio II

There are Actually Many Places Like Home

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...

Day 2- Camera Time

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...

Our Final Day on Virgin Gorda

All in all, today was a pretty nice day. We didn't have breakfast until 9 this morning, so we all got to sleep in a decent amount. I think I woke up at around 8:30, and it was fantastic to get that extra sleep. Once we were awake, though, we went down to the teachers' cabin and ate breakfast....

Day 3&4 “Goliath”

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....

Why did I take this course?

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 did marine bio because I did it last years and I plan to pursue this career in the future, so this class is very fun and interesting for me.

Chris Ayres

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.

Return to Paradise Day 1 and 2

Day 1/2 At 5 am my alarm clock went off after going to bed at 3 am (I could not sleep because of how excited I was). We headed to the airport, went through security, and then headed off to Miami. We jumped onto the next flight at then landed in Puerto Rico. Finally, we went to Tortola in...

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...
