Today was we met our diving instructors and set off in the boats to start our day. We ate breakfast at the restaurant next to the harbor. After Casey gave us a briefing on what we would be doing today. We got out on the boats and set off. We headed to these islands that are known as the...

Today we started out a little early considering our cabin consisting of Clay Walters, Bryce Ozier, William Name, Henry Droese and myself stayed up till midnight throwing the frisbee around the cabin and talking about what we wanted to do for the week and how excited we are. We arrived at Yacht Harbor and ate breakfast at the restaurant,...

Day One, The last two days have been very eventful. Yesterday was our travel day to Virgin Gorda. My day started at 3:30am and ended at 11:30, a solid twenty-hour day. The first flight we embarked on was from Dallas to San Juan, Puerto Rico. It was a long flight lasting nearly five hours and what made it worse was...

     Today was a long day. We woke up at 6:30, which was sleeping in from the day before. After we showered and got into our dive gear we walked down to the fence for Glen, our taxi driver, to pick us up and take us down to the water. We ate breakfast at the yacht club which...

We then ate breakfast at the restaurant on the marina. Finally, we got to start the main actives for they...

The roosters loud and piercing sound probably echoed throughout the entire island of Virgin Gorda, but is acted for me as a pleasant reminder that this place was far different...

Although this is technicallythe blog for my fith day in the BVI, today's entry begins in day four, with the night snorkel. After dinner, we donned our fins and snorkels Ana waded out into the ocean with waterproof flashlights. We saw hordes of small fish and large silvery tarpin that wanted to eat them, strangely shaped slipper lobsters, and...

Starting with last night, we finished day five with a night snorkel in the bay of the hotel beach. I partnered up with Mr. Marr, and, with flashlights, we scanned the sea floor, finding a lobster, several tarpon, a crab, and a sleeping parrot fish camouflaged in its mucus wrap. However, my favorite part of the snorkel was when...

Day 6 was our last normal day in the BVI which was pretty sad despite it being a pretty cool laid back day. Before getting into the day we had a night snorkel on day 5 which was a unique yet similar to the normal snorkels we had done prior. In the beginning of the snorkel we saw a...
