2015 Marine Bio II

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,...

Today was another good day. We started the day off with two dives and and the first one was pretty cool because we went to wreck alley and there were a lot of purposefully sunken ships and they had become artificial reefs and they had a fair amount of algae and fish around. One of the ships was flipped...

Day four was pretty darn radical. Shortly after a quaint breakfast I, along with marine two, headed off to Necker Island. Necker Island is a privately owned island that people can rent out. Necker island houses over sixty lemurs total and more than three species. Necker island also houses one of two flamingo populations in the BVI, has a...

I woke up this morning not knowing what to expect. As I approached the breakfast table, I saw honey buns which signified that a great day was approaching. After breakfast, we had a brief break and then headed to the marina. Once aboard, the first stop for the Sea monkey was a Wreck Alley. We then dove down...

In the morning of our first day we woke up at 7:00 to get ready for a day of mysterious travel. We went to the instructors villa and had a scrumptious breakfast that included egg, sausage, cereal, bagels and milk. After that we went onto the boat and learned about some of its safety features including the life boat,...

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...

After a long day of travel through Dallas, San Juan, Tortolla, and finally Virgin Gorda, the whole group has made it safely without any problems with tickets or passports. The DFW to San Juan, Puerto Rico flight was close to 5 hours so that was a long flight, but I spent most of the flight sleeping so it wasn't...

Today me and my cabin mates arose at 7am and stumbled ourselves over to Doc and Mr. Von's cabin for breakfast. Our breakfast consisted of cereal, fruit, croissants, eggs, and sausage. After our delicious meal to start the day we made our down to the designated meeting point to wait for our taxi drive down to the marina. Having...

Today was an amazing day I woke up at around 615 to go on a run with some of the dive bvi people. When I got back I got changed into my clothes for the day and then headed off to breakfast. Once everybody ate breakfast we headed down to the gates to be picked up by Glen who...
