Day 2 summed up in one word would be exhausting, exhausting because of how much fun we were having and physical work we did. The day started off early again for breakfast at the teachers house for some nice scrambled eggs and honeybuns( also know as diabetes in a bag according to our group). As we wrapped up breakfast...

On day two at the British Virgin Islands, we began the day with a presentation of sea turtles and how to tag them. During the presentation presented by Shannon Gore, I got to learn more about sea turtles, where they go, and how they are becoming endangered. The presentation was very insightful and because of the presentation I got...

Another 6:45 wake up to go get breakfast. We headed to the teachers cabin for muffins and amazing eggs and sausage. After a quick meeting we headed de down to the office for a lesson on sea turtles. After this we split into 2 groups my group first went snorkeling for invertebrates. After finding a collection of slugs...

My second trip to the British Virgin Islands began as I could hope for. Although the journey to the island was mostly waiting in planes and airports, I was in good company, and found no shortage of entertainment. When we made it through customs, I felt a sense of deja vu as we ate pizza on a boat as...

The first day of the marine biology trip has already surpassed all of my expectations. The sun was already up when I woke up around 5:45. After a quick briefing of hotel rules, the group set out for the docks to eat breakfast and prepare for our dives. On the way out to our first dive site, our vessel,...

After a long day traveling and a good nights sleep, our cabin woke up early in the morning to get ready for the day. We got dressed and got on our taxi, which took us to breakfast at a little café near the dock. Once we finished breakfast, we were fitted for our gear and boarded the boat. Our...

     It had been a long day of traveling; 2 flights, a long layover in Puerto Rico, and minimal good food in the airports. After being greeted by Casey and Jeff on their boat(with pizza), we arrived on the island, found our cabins, and hit the sack. After a good night's sleep, the day started quickly. After rising...

Today was a great start to the week. We started off the day by waking up at 6:00 am. We then had a very good breakfast at a restaurant by the boats. We had a nice boat ride to our first dive site despite my hat flying off into the ocean. Our first dive, at George Dog, was a...

Today easily ranks as one of the most diverting days of my young life, as I was granted the amazing opportunity to experience the natural wonders of the eastern Caribbean. On the immeasurably awesome Seadragon, captained by the Hulky Hungarian divemaster Zoltán, in all of his Magyar glory, we set sail for the minor islands that approximate Virgin Gorda....
