2014 Week 1

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...

I was woken up at 6:30 by the screeching cocka-doodle-doo of a rooster. I then abruptly heard the sound of my phone’s alarm. I got up threw on my swimsuit and slid my feet into my flip-flops and walked out to the kitchen area to get my water. I opened the freezer and as expected my water was frozen....

First we woke up at around 645 am to get ready and packed for the day. It was surprising waking up to a rosters crow. You don't usually see or ever hear rosters in Texas! So that was interesting, so after that i packed up all my scuba gear and items for the day. The sunrise was amazing watching...

Today started much like the first day at the BVI last year: alarms going off at 6:30 to wake us manly men up from our slumber. After waking up and taking showers, we headed down to meet our morning bus and bus driver, Glenn. By about 8:00 we were eating a hearty breakfast of bacon, eggs,...

On our first full day in the BVI, our cabin woke up this morning around 6:30 to the all natural sound of a rooster crowing. After this, we met up at the front of the property, where we then went to go meet and talk with Tina, the owner of the property. We then moved on to go and...

Today was beyond a great day, in fact it was so great it's essence can only be captured by the word splendiferous. The day began when I was woken up by sweet melodic bird song. However, before the bird song completely woke me up I was jarred awake by the most horrid of roosters who insisted upon singing...

The morning of my first day in BVI was brutal because I barely got any sleep, and I didn't get much sleep because of these two reasons: I was jetlag from arriving from Hawaii literally the night before, and the room was as humid as Satan's sauna. I woke up bright and early at 6:20am, not because of the...

7/16/2014: First day in BVI The first day in the beautiful British Islands started when I woke up to a bird singing outside my window, not something I experience in Dallas very often. Once everyone was awake and dressed we met Casey and the rest of the Dive BVI staff for breakfast, introductions, and a short class about the marine...

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...
