2015 Week 1

I started my day off with breakfast at Tamarind cabin, which included Wyatt and Miles. Miles made eggs which was great because we've never had eggs yet on this whole trip. Tamarind cabin is different because they have a opening on one of their porches' rails that leads to the top of a giant boulder.  After breakfast our marine biology...

Today was my first full day in the BVI. My day started bright and early at 7am. After getting ready for the day, my cabin headed down as a group to breakfast which was scheduled at 7:30. Once everyone had finished eating breakfast the exciting part of the day began. At the entrance of Guava Berry Resort we were...

Like everyday, today started with a hearty breakfast, however, with a little spice... honey buns. After breakfast we headed to the Sea Dragon and went to Ginger Island. This is Gaz's (instructor) favorite site to dive. However, even though the dive was going to be fun, I was a little bit sea sick, but not as bad as Marc....

Today was the second day of our trip and my first time ever scuba diving in the ocean. We started the day out with a seven a.m. alarm and a walk to our teachers house. Once there, we were met by Casey, Jeff, and our teachers. This morning was our teachers turn to cook breakfast, so they prepared us...

Our first dive was a checkout dive, and it went fairly well for my first time diving at sea. My weights were a bit...

After breakfast, the Jesuit Marine Bio group and I went to orientation to learn about the general procedures of the boats, the Sea Monkey and the Sea Dragon. I also met my...

Today I woke up at four in the morning in order to get on the first flight. Ironically this would be the first airplane I would ever ride on. When I got on the plane as "childish" as this may be was fascinated with the idea of being over 3000 feet in the air, not to mention how beautiful...
