2015 Marine Bio II

Day 3 here in the BVI began with breakfast at one of our cabins and then a taxi down to the marina. Today was the day of the Rhone dive and then lunch on Cooper Island; I had been waiting a year to come back for this day. The Rhone dive was the by far the most interesting and...

Today we got to wake up a little later then normal and then the groups split by grade to do different things. The marine two people went to necker island which is owned by a successful business man named Richard necker. He was the man that started virgin records and has since expanded into many international companies. We got...

Day one, golly gee today was a winner. The day started off with an oh so excellently prepared breakfast made by none other than Doc and Mr. Von. Shortly after breakfast we went diving to review skills and enjoy the marine life of the BVI. On the first dives we saw a brilliantly colored flamingo tongue and the staff...

Today was a good first day. We started off with a couple dives and I was a little nervous because last year I had problems while diving because of my sinuses. Happily, nothing bad happened and I'll try to keep it that way. Before we got in the water we had a debriefing on scuba gear and rules...

Today we explored a ship wreck, faced down sharks, and observed turtles in the sea grass. To begin our day, we dove the Rhone, a British ship once thought to be unsinkable. As with the Titanic, the Rhone in fact proved to be sinkable and fell at the hands of a hurricane in the late 1800s. During our dive,...

Our last day in BVI was a calm and relaxing one compared to the days before. For starters we were allowed to wake up at nine after having to wake up at seven everyday. At nine we had a quick breakfast of donuts and granola bars, and then headed to the harbor where we cleaned the wreckage of a...

          I wake up at 7 with the familiar thin layer of grime encasing my skin, a product of the incredibly humid climate. I drag my rank body to the shower and let cold water power wash every inch of me. I grab the disposable razor graciously granted to me by Doc Gruninger,...

The day once again started off very early in the morning at 7 am. I slept through 6 of my alarms so thanks for my teammates/classmates for waking me up. The only difference with today's morning and yesterday's is that breakfast was at our house and the same food of fruit, cereal, fig bars, and bagels. After breakfast, I...

The final day, it was a very emotional and heart felt day. Everybody was sad that we were leaving, we had all had an amazing time and did not want to leave. This trip had gone by so fast because it was so much fun, it was truly one of the best experiences in the world that I have...
