2015 Week 2

Today was very eventful and tiring. We woke up very early this morning thanks to Doc screaming at us to wake up.....that was nice. We then ate breakfast. 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...

Today was the big day, the final day of scuba diving, project preparation, and the final presentation of our findings. Before all the preparation of our data, we had two dives to collect more data. Our first dive was at West Dog Island in order to collect more data between complex and simple reef systems. In the process we...

Today was our last full day on the island and unfortunately we could not dive because we needed one day between diving and flying or else we might get the bends. However we still started our day early in the morning as usual. Our project for the day was to pick up pieces of a beached yacht as a...

We woke up today at 7:00am to have breakfast that consisted of eggs, cereal, bread, and muffins which was perfect to start our long day.

For our service project we cleaned up a catamaran that had lost its moorings and wreaked into the rocks. We loaded the debris onto a barge. After we cleaned a major portion of the debris we snorkeld...

Today was very nervracking and exciting. We started out our day with sickness unfortunately. Two of our classmates came down with food poising the night before. But they soon felt better the next morning and we're back to normal. We started our diving for the day at rocky location that had many underwater trenches and passages. It was...

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. Our journey continued down another 10 feet and that's when we got the chance to get really close to the three sharks circling David Madrazo, and Preston Sledge. We...
