Day 4 in BVI
I thought yesterday was going to be the best of the trip but Doc, Mr. Kirby and the whole Dive BVI managed to outdo themselves. After breakfast and a trip to the marina, the Marine Bio 1 and Marine Bio 2 teams split up at the marina. As a Marine Bio 2 student, I boarded Sea Dragon with Gaz,...
Day Four on the Island
Another tiring wake up today, but excitement trumped the sleepiness with the Marine 2 visiting Necker Island. Sir Richard Branson, the founder of Virgin Group which is comprised of 400 companies, owns Necker Island. The Island contains various lemurs from Madagascar, as well as flamingos, tortoises, and Scarlet Ibis. It is $60,000 a night to rent the island, but...
Final day jack barker
On our final day on virgin Gorda, we got to sleep in and extra 30 minutes, thank god. Then we headed to the cabin at the top of the hill for a breakfast of doughnuts the size of my head. They were probably the best I've ever had. Then for our last activity since we cannot dive, we...

Year 2: Day 3 in the BVI
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...
Day Six BVI 2015
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 2 in the BVI
Our second day here in the BVI began at Limetree cabin with breakfast provided by David, Aiden, Gordon, and Adam. After breakfast we headed down to the marina to begin our second day of diving. We took a pretty lengthy boat ride to Gaz's favorite dive site in the BVI, the Ginger Steps. Before the dive, Gaz explained to...
David Madrazo Day 1
We woke up early this morning to make our way down to the teachers cabins for breakfast. After my five star sausage, eggs, and apple jacks it was off to the marina to prep for our first dive. Once on the boat I found out our first dive was going to be in the same place as it was...
Suarez, day 3
Today started off with a 615 am run with my group members, shortly after we got ready to go scuba diving and eat breakfast. Breakfast was the same thing as yesterday but my cabin prepared it this morning so that was pretty cool because we got to lead in prayer. After prayer we started to eat but not before...
