Day 6 was yet another incredible day in the BVIs even though it was our last :(. Day 5 ended with a night snorkel that was very cool. On the snorkel, we saw several tarpon, lobster, and squid. The squid was made up of a unique purple and green color in the night which was a strong difference from...

On the last day, we went to Soldier Bay to pick up trash along the rocks. In no time, we had many bags full of trash, with the bed of Casey's truck filled. In the end, we filled up the bed three times with trash bags and larger pieces of trash. I was shocked at how people would just...

My day 6 entry begins with the night dive of day 5. After dinner, we threw the frisbee until it was dark. We then were called over by the dive staff and got very powerful flashlights in order to see under water. I went with my good friend Luke Pryzizbilski. We first saw a lobster and a squid swimming...

I went on the night snorkel after the cookout on Friday. Matt and I were buddies, and we hung out near the back of the group. Eventually, Matt and I swam out so far with Zoltan and Ben that we couldn't see the bottom. As we were swimming to catch up to the group, we saw a stingray and...

This morning, we started our day at the Lime cabin for breakfast. Afterwards, we gathered our scuba gear and went to the taxi. At the marina, we set up our dive gear and headed out onto the water. Andrew felt up to diving today, so he was also with us. We arrived at the site of the RMS Rhone, the...

Friday night brought the end of our recreation day with a cookout on the beach. Jeff, Casey's husband, grilled hamburgers and hot dogs for us and the Dive BVI staff. As dinner then died down, the staff announced our involvement in a night snorkel before handing out high-powered flashlights. Awkwardly putting on my gear on the beach, I waddled...

Today's blog, interestingly enough, begins by recounting the events of yesterday evening and everything after. After the highly anticipated beach cookout, which was delicious, we are embarked on a bold journey into the unknown in the form of a night snorkel. In the mere thirty minutes we were in the water, we saw a crocodile needlefish, two Spanish lobsters,...

Today we woke up for a great doughnut breakfast. After our breakfast we headed to a beach opposite from Savannah Bay to clean up the beach. I found a large tire we removed from the beach. After a massive rain storm on the beach we went to the marina to go shopping. Then we went to eat lunch...

Last night, we probably had the best dinner of the week. Casey and the BVI crew brought a grille and burgers and hot dogs and we had a cookout out on the beach. I had a cheeseburger with Funyuns and it was delicious, but Luke G. kind of ruined part of the dinner by knocking down all of the...
