Another day in the British Virgin Islands, and another two dives. The day started early in the morning and the teachers cooked breakfast for us. After our breakfast, we headed straight for the boats. Today's Events and What I learned today Todays dives were dedicated towards advancing our projects. We visited two different sites, the first one was called Ginger Hole...

    The day began with everyone meeting at Doc Gruninger's cabin at 7:15, we ate eggs, bagels and cereal. During the breakfast my cabin found out that we are going to be hosting dreakfast tomorrow for the entire class. Next, we went straight to the boat to go diving. The dive location we went to was Chromis...

         Today was another early day. It started with a great breakfast at the teachers cabin with eggs, juice, cereal, and fruit. After the food, we went out on our first project dive. Our project is to find out if 3 types of fish (surgeon fish, Doctor fish, and blue tang) have any effect on the...

Last night after two flights and a boat ride, fourteen hours of travel in total, everyone was very happy to once again be at Guavaberry. A few short but rejuvenating hours of sleep later, Clay, Henry, Cole, Bryce, and I groggily arose for the first day of our second year of marine bio. After a tasty egg and bacon...

Day one: this morning, the first day of marine biology in the BVIs, started off hot and humid in the Guava Berry resort. After cooling down and eating at the yatch club, I boarded onto the sea dragon along with my group and one other. We traveled in the boat for about 15-20 minutes and reached a group of...

Waking up this morning was the most difficult morning I've had all summer. Yesterday morning, we joked about the chickens around our cabin and their respective names, as well as other random moments from our classroom time a few weeks ago. Still feeling weathered from travel in the morning, my cabin made our way over to the meeting point...

I resentfully woke up at 6:20 am this morning, despite being up for nearly 20 hours the day before. The first thing we did was to walk to the commons area to get picked up by the taxi. We were driven to breakfast at the dive shop restaurant where we were introduced to the staff of Dive...
