2015 Marine Bio II

Day 5 Today, I got up at 7:00, packed my stuff for the day, and walked over to another group's cabin for breakfast. Breakfast was the same as always, but this time with some egg protein, which was nice. After breakfast, I rode to the marina and boarded the Sea Dragon, and headed over to the wreck of the RMS...

Today there was no run we all got to sleep in also another 30 minutes before we headed to breakfast. Breakfast was the same old same old, and we went through the same routine but with one little mix up, we headed down to the wifi room before we would go to glen who would take us to the...

Today, I woke up at 7:00, got ready, and walked to the Mango cabin for a breakfast of cereal, Honey Buns, and oranges. After breakfast, I rode to the marina and boarded the Sea Dragon. Then, I rode to our first dive site, a place called Ginger Steps. During the dive, I saw a four foot Caribbean Reef Shark,...

Today we had breakfast at the mango cabin which was quite the walk. We had the usual, cereal and water and fruit. Then we headed down to glen who was waiting to take us to the docks, which was exciting because today we were going to go scuba diving at the shipwreck areas. The trip to the shipwrecks was...

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...

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...

Blue skies, sunny beaches, curious fish, and friendly people: all signs indicating that I am back in the BVI. After the long flights and wait times in DFW and San Juan, Puerto Rico, we finally landed in Tortola yesterday and were warmly greeted by Casey and Jeff of Dive BVI. Following the cordialities, we were taken by boat to...

On day two of our trip, we had an amazing day of diving/snorkeling and playing the beach games. Our first dive site was at ginger steps, where the current travels through the reef creating a sand channel that attracts several pelagic fish such as sharks and eagle rays. As soon as I jumped in the water and...
