Sadly, today was the last day of diving, but it was an incredible end to Marine Biology for me and the other seniors. It included a two tank dive on the wreck of the RMS Rhone, a snorkel and lunch at Cooper Island, and a night snorkel. The Rhone dive was my favorite last year and was great once...

Today we woke up around 6:30, ate breakfast, then went diving. Today we did our project dives. In the morning it was very cloudy and looked like it might rain.
