Today after a good nights sleep we went too two different dive sites after eating at 7:15 and being introduced to the rooster. For me I was worried about being ready to scuba as I hadn't gone in an area like the ocean and had not gone scuba diving for a year. But, my worry was relieved as we...

Day 2Today was all about business. We started off the day with my cabin serving breakfast. It was once again: cereal, honey buns, guava juice, granola bars, and strawberry newtons. It was all served by my cabin which means it was the best breakfast ever. We then proceeded to go down to the marina and meet with our diving...

We were able to sleep a little later today. The Plums served us a delightful breakfast. The purpose of our dives today was to do research for our projects. We visited a dive site near Ginger Island, known as Ginger's backside. My group measured and recorded the filtration habits of different barrel sponges. It was surprisingly difficult to measure...

Man, the counselors were not lying when they said that today would be the most physically demanding day! Luckily, because the day would be the toughest physically speaking, we were allowed to sleep in later. The day started for me at 7:10.

The second day in the BVI started with the Plum cabin serving breakfast, after breakfast we had a two tank dive that were both for the reasearch project.  On the way to the first dive we saw dolfins while on the boat, while under the water we marked off the two areas and collected the data about algae and...

Today we started off the day by breakfast at our cabin. I woke up early, so I spent an hour or two on the hammock relaxing. Breakfast was good, and we then packed up our gear and were ready for Glen at 8:15. After a 20 minute ride, we arrived at our first dive site located near Ginger's Backside....

This morning I ate scrambled eggs, mixed berry Greek yogurt and and drank lots of water to properly prepare for the day. After breakfast we gathered our BCDs, tanks and regulators and were assigned our boats; mine was the Sea Dragon. I set up my gear and became acquainted with my Hungarian dive master, Zoltan. We set out to...
