2015 Week 1

  

It's finally here. The last day of living in paradise. Half of me feels kinda happy because I get to see my family and friends, and the other half feels sad that I'm leaving this heaven. Instead of waking up at seven, I would be getting up at seven fifteen in order to help my cabin set up breakfast...

First on the agenda, we had breakfast at Mango cabin, which includes John A., Noah, Robert W., and Brock. After breakfast, we went down to the dock to split up into our dive boats, the Sea Monkey and the Sea Dragon. On the Sea Dragon, we nautically drove to Ginger Island to scuba dive. Gazz briefed us on the...

We woke up at 7 and ate breakfast as usual and headed to the marina. Our first dive was at ginger island and the waves were very big since it was part of the ocean ocean. A few people got seasick but I didn't surprisingly. We dive down about 85 feet and saw lots of various fishes including a...

Yesterday started off strong because breakfast at house tamarind consisted of the usual with a special treat from Miles and Wyatt. They both bought twenty four eggs for...

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...

Today my cabin was in charge of preparing breakfast for the group, and everything went smoothly. Afterwards Glen picked us up, and we headed off to the marina. Once on the boat, Gaz told us we would be diving at the infamous ginger steps, a dive site known to be home to many very large fish species. We were...
