2015 Marine Bio II

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...

It was a very exciting and fun day in the ocean today. After one whole year of waiting, I was finally able to dive again! The day started off bright and early at 7:30 am when we arrived at the teachers cabin to eat breakfast. I wore my green swim suit and my blue dive BVI rash guard that...

Today we went out in the morning to do our final project dives and clean the coral nurseries in our mpa. The first dive we went out to west dog island to perform our second test on complex and simple reefs. When we diving we saw a ray, adult spotted drum and two juvenile spotted drums. The was also...

Breakfast was at plum cabin this morning and Casey brought donuts! She came in clutch haha. They were enormous too. Other than the donuts, breakfast was the same as the other days. After breakfast, I walked down to the taxi with some of my friends where Glenn was waiting. After everyone got it, Glenn took us to the beach...

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 we started off with two dives again. That was a lot of fun and no ear problems so that's good. Our first dove was a familiar site that we had visited last year called the Rhone. The Rhone is a ship wreck off the coast of an island and it happened roughly 150 years ago. The Rhone...

Today, I woke up at 7 and got ready for breakfast at 7:30 at the teacher's cabin. Breakfast was light, consisting of cereal and a roll with juice. After breakfast, I walked to the main office of the hotel, where the owner gave us a brief welcome and orientation about the hotel's policies, including using the commissary and the...

Well, today is our last day and it was nice and relaxing. So we woke up and we did not dive today because of the safety hazards from flying so close to diving. Instead , we did a service project on the beach. Some guys were sick and so they stayed and picked up trash on the beach. The...

Day two certainly outclassed day one and the reason behind that is Ginger island. Ginger island had two of the best dive sites I've ever seen. The first location was ginger steps, an approximately ninety foot dive with some incredible topography, multiple shelfs, overhangs and sandy spots, there was even a sand channel. Sand channels are pretty darn neat...
