2014 Week 1

On the second day in the British Virgin Islands, I had an exciting day of snorkeling at three different locations. The first thing we did was eat breakfast at a restaurant at the marina, where I enjoyed a delicious bacon omelet. Once everyone was finished eating we hopped on the Sea Monkey boat, and headed out to a dive...

Today was the second day of the trip to the British Virgin Islands. It centered around diving and snorkeling. We began by driving the marina at Dive BVI, where we ate breakfast. We then loaded the boat with two tanks of air and left to dive. The first site we visited was the Chimney, a...

Today made yesterday look like a dip I the kiddy pool. We dove 40 feet yesterday, child's play, today we rocked the chimney and dove to 60 feet at Paul's grotto. The chimney was awe-inspiring, literally, the fact the Jacque Cousteau, my idol, dove there and it was his second favorite site in the region was so cool and...

Today was an amazing day, we stared off with the usual breakfast and then we hit the boats at 9 and went all the way out to the chimney chute. The water was insanely clear i literally jumped in and could see to the bottom from the top which was around 40 ft from the place we were at....

For the second day in a row, Mother Nature awoke the Frangipani house with a singing rooster. After loitering around the room and eventually gathering our day's supplies, we headed down to the cattle guard at the end of the road to be picked up by Glen, our taxi driver. After an omelette for breakfast, we boarded the Sea...

Today started out much later than expected. The night before I had set two alarms to wake up at 5:45am to join Casey on a run. It turns out that the time difference woke me up an hour later than expected. So, while I did have a late start to my day, it was nice to sleep in a...

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...

Despite a late night yesterday, we managed to wake up without incident to, surprisingly enough, our alarms. Not to be bested, our roosters of course reminded us of their presence for the ensuing hour that we gathered all of our gear. Breakfast was served at a restaurant in the marina. Afterwards, the marine biology 2 guys went to Casey...

Today, we hit the water fast and went on two dives immediately after breakfast. On these dives, we kept slates with us so we could list the type and number of each fish we saw. Researchers can use these slates to help them keep track of the fish populations in a certain area. We dove The Chimney first,...
