Today was probably the coolest part of the trip at least from my perspective. On our first dive of the morning we visited a recently sunken ship wreck called the Kodiak Queen, a boat that was actually one of five vessels that was left unscathed in the Japanese bombings of Pearl Harbour which that made the sunken boat that...

Benjie and I prepared breakfast this morning for our ravenous classmates. We unfolded a table and placed cereal, milk, juice, granola bars, and yogurt on it. The first island we visited was Kodak Queen, and we dove down to a shipwreck underneath. The boat had a giant metal kraken with eight gigantic tentacles grasping the hull. We swim around...

To help tag and track sea turtles in the British Virgin Islands, we snorkeled at Mount Trunk, searching for any type of sea turtle to capture using the techniques tought to us by Dr. Gore. Dr. Gore has dedicated her life to help preserve any marine life that may be threatened. With the help of her presentation, Dr. Gore...
