Toady was the by farthest hardest day to get up despite going to bed pretty early. I snoozed my alarm until 6:47 am instead of waking up at the usual time of 6:00 am. This is the day I had been looking foreword to all week because the dive masters told us that the RMS Rhone was the best...

The day started with breakfast at the plum cabin. They organized the cereal boxes to spell "plum." After breakfast we went straight to the boat to go diving. The first dive spot we went to was Ginger Island. When we got to the dive spot we snorkeled to the elkhorn coral to do our project. We snorkeled because the...

         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...

We ended up staying under for about 50 minutes because we were diving in shallower water, about 25 feet. During the dive, we quickly found...

I had two dives today and both were in the same location of Cooper Island. Both lasted about an hour. On each dive we looked for a location with Black Sea urchins...

Today it was our turn to serve breakfast. Luckily though because we weren't diving today we we able to sleep in and serve breakfast at 7:30 instead of 7:15. When breakfast was over we all loaded onto the taxi and headed to our service project. We drove to Soldier Bay to pick up trash and there was a lot!...

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...

The night was uneventful except for the rain. It was pouring throughout the night, and the rain kept bouncing off of the blinds and hitting me in the face. But, when I woke up at about 6:10 it was sunny and I was ready for the new day.We began our day with breakfast at the chaperones' cabin. The egg...
