Marine Biology Blog: Days 2 and 3
Day 2:
We started today out by having breakfast and immediately getting on the boats to dive. The water was again clear enough that you could almost see the bottom of the ocean from the boat and you could see at least 50 feet in front of you while you were down there. We got to West Dog Island...
