2017

Today started off bright and early as my cabin (Plum Tree) was in charge of making breakfast for everyone on the trip. We decided to splurge, unlike the seniors, and actually produced edible food known as eggs. Soon after breakfast, we geared up for our second day of project dives and headed out to Georgedog island where we record...

Today was a rough and difficult yet somewhat rewarding day. It certainly was not one of my favorite days but it was one that had to be done. It started off at 6 AM on a run with Doc Gruninger, who quite honestly killed me in terms of running. I was able to keep up for the first mile...

Today was our third day of diving and our second and final day of project dives. Our goal for the day was to finish collecting data for our research project of measuring the filtering speed of barrel sponges. At our first dive site, George Dog Island, we found four barrel sponges and collected our data, which gave us enough...

Starting off the day with breakfast at the Alamanda cabin, we got our food and headed back to our cabins to start off the day. We got in our taxi and started off to the boats where we loaded our tanks and got our gear ready to dive. Our first site was back at the Chimney, except this time...

The day began with two more early morning dives geared toward wrapping up the data collection for our projects, which meant going to find more sponges. The first dive took place at George Dog island, and over the course of our dive we found four more barrel sponges to collect data on. There was a fairly strong current at...

Synopsis: The day started as all. We ate our breakfast and loaded up the boats to head to sea. When we got to our first location, it did not take long to realize that the current would be to strong to dive there, so we picked up our gear and headed to George dog island. The water...

Today the first site we went to dive was great dog island . In the dive we saw spotlight parrotfish, wrasse i saw only one blue parrotfish and a school of these dark blue fish near the shore. But overall at this site what me and Keegan noticed was how bleak the reef was due to a lot of...

Once again we began our day with two project dives. Today's dives weren't as good most of the aera we searched was full coral, a lot destroyed, and few fish.  After lunch we had two hours to relax and get ready for our beach games. After our team lost the first few games we were in third place going...

The day started at 7:00 because our cabin had to prepare breakfast this morning. I was charged with making the eggs which was difficult due to the lack of butter and Pam so the eggs won't stick to the pan. Luckily the eggs turned out pretty good due to a large amount of salt and pepper.  Personally I think...
