2015 Week 2

Today we got to sleep in a bit but it was also our cabins day to prepare breakfast. After Name cooked us some pancakes to tide us over, we got all set up for breakfast. After everyone had their cereal and drank their Whispers Of Summer juice we got on the taxi were Marine 1 headed to Savannah beach...

Today has been my favorite day so far. We started the day off like every other day with cereal, eggs, sausage, and fruit. After we finished our meal we got on the taxi and headed down to the marina to start our jam packed day. We were told our first dive site would be the RMS Rhone. I have...

Day 3 began like the previous day's with breakfast at 7:30 and Glen picking us up in the taxi at 8:20 to take us to the marina. We headed out on the boat ride to salt island to dive the wreck of the RMS Rhone. The Rhone had been a luxury ship and typically held people who were very...

Today was a very eventful day once again. We woke up, ate, and then headed to the marina like usual to go on our dives. But when we got there, we found out we were going to be diving down to an old ship wreck that had been there since 1876. When we got to the site, our dive...

This morning we started with a quick breakfast at 7:30 in one of our casas before reporting at the main road to take Glen's taxi. His taxi is an old f350 flatbed with several benches and a roof fitted to it. As we drive from the resort to the harbor, we count the number of cars he honks hello...

For the second day, we dived near an island called Ginger Island. The first dive took place on a reef called the Ginger Steppes, which where a series of pelagic shelves that steadily went downward. It was also our deepest dive, with a maximum depth of 65 ft. We were told that the area has a diverse population due...

Today, our first dives of the week took place at the Dog Islands, particularly George Dog Island. We were told that their name stems from the Caribbean monk seals who's call was mistaken for the barking of rabid dogs by Columbus's crew, making them avoid the islands. Many years later, Pirates sailing through also heard the dogs, and thought...

On the second day of the trip we went to Wreak Ally. In Wreak Ally there are four artificially placed ship wreaks. We only went to two of them the Beata and Island Seal. The Island Seal was accidentally placed upside down. The deepest at Wreak Ally was about 90 feet. At the beginning of the dive we dove...

Today fulfilled a few lifelong goals of mine, to swim with sharks and to watch fire dancers up close. We did our first dive at site called "Ginger Steps". The geography of the slope under the water forms giant steps, hence the name. As soon as we took the giant stride method into the water there were almost immediately...
