Today we woke up and had breakfest at the teachers cabin, after breakfest we went to the high school/ middle school on the island to help build and fix the school.  The projects that we did was paint, build a plant box, make a rock boundary around plants, make holes and put posters, and make a 6-8inch hole across...

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. I then got ready for the day by heading to breakfast served by the cabin Plum and afterwards...

What an interesting day. It began with us looking for invertebrates while snorkeling in Savannah Bay, which we didn't really manage to catch or find. However, the dive instructors, Becca and Tara, had invertebrates ready in a plastic tub. The coolest one was a Sea Egg Sea urchin, which sucked onto your hand and gripped you strongly when you...

For our last full day in the BVI we began it like we began our first, with breakfast at the teacher's cabin. The breakfast was just the leftovers from the previous breakfasts meaning there was a lot of the types people didn't like. After we finished breakfast we went down to the cattleguard to catch our taxi. The first...

Last night, I went to bed with high hopes and expectations for the second full day of the trip, but nothing could have prepared me for what I experienced today. Breakfast was fairly pedestrian, and consisted of fruit loops, fruit juice, and granola bars, but it would turn out to be the only pedestrian aspect of the day. After...

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...

Today, once again, started with the usual cereal and juice, but at least they had apples this time. However, as bland as the breakfast has seemingly become, today was the most exciting day yet. Today we started out the day with hearing from a British virgin island sea turtle expert. We learned about sea turtle conservation and what types...

Starting the morning off with another refreshing, ice-cold shower, I had another slice of pizza and Apple Jacks. After retrieving our gear, we left the huts to go to the boats. Next, we left to go to the first dive site at the backside of Ginger Island. When I originally jumped in my secondary regulator started spewing...

The morning started off with an alarm on my iPhone of Apple's "night owl" ringtone at 7:20. Immediately afterwards, I hopped out of my bed and got dressed for diving and some snorkeling. Today, another house was in charge of breakfast, so we set out for their casa. After breakfast, we hopped on a ride with Glen to the...
