2015 Week 2

On the second day of this trip, I was able to increase my knowledge in marine biology through two exciting dives. The first dive took us to a place called wreck alley. While going to Wreck Alley, Beth taught us the names of several islands we passed by. I saw Cooper Island, Salt Island, and Tortola island. She told...

After today I'm thoroughly exhausted and extremely happy about the course of events today. After getting situated for our second day of diving. In the Sea Monkey boat the day began, heading toward Cooper Island in order to dive wreck alley. Before the dive the boat briefed on the dive and learned we would be diving to the Beata,...

Today the diving was equally as incredible as our first day, as we encountered an abundance of marine life and even ran into new creatures that we previously only imagined. Our first stop was further out than Saturday's excursion, bringing us all the way out to Ginger Island, where we descended at a location known as the ginger steps....

I'm just gonna start off and say this day was awesome. We got up and has another breakfast of champions that consisted of cereal and bread. After everyone scarfed down their fruit loops and frosted flakes we lathered up on sun screen and got ready to leave. After we arrived at the marina we learned that our first dive...

Day two started off great with our journey out to ginger island. As soon as we dropped to 30 feet we were surprised by a friendly little Caribbean reef shark.

After estima we met our diving instructors at the pier and boarded the boat. This diving sigue was very far out, taking us about 30 minutes to get there. We first...

Day 2: We woke up this morning to the usual breakfast routine of cereal, fruit, and glorious juice boxes. We then prepared for the day with sunscreen and filling up on water. We then went to a dive site known as wreck ally. We saw two ships, one of which was a tugboat and the other was a ferry the...

Since this was my first time going to the BVIs and on the Jesuit Marine Biology trip, I really did not know what the week would be like. I was very curious about what we would do on the first day, because it is the day where I get a first impression of the island and the marine biology...

This morning we woke up to the sound of rooster calls at 5:30 after a surprisingly but pleasantly cool night. After packing our day bags we met at Doc and Von's cabin for breakfast. We got plenty of eggs, cereal, and sausage before walking to the main road for the drive to the boats. Soon enough, we were fitted with...
