Another early morning began with the cries of the roosters which roam the resort. Our fellow Seniors volunteered to serve breakfast to all of us to fuel our busy mornings full of research. Today we would begin our project dives, and my group was to find out if the diameter of a barrel sponge has any direct impact on...

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...

That same gosh darn rooster woke me up at 6:00 again. This is like the 3rd or 4th day in a row. I don't like chickens. They are all over the island. I see at least one every time I walk outside. Apparently they are considered an invasive species in the BVI. But enough about chickens. Today was our last...

Today I want to start my blog a little different than most days. Today I would like to start this blog off with a thank you to everyone that made this week possible. Thank you to my parents and dive BVI and all the chaperones and everyone at Jesuit that made this trip possible. I am very thankful for...

Today my phone was dead for most of the day my phone had no charge so I couldn't take pictures, but, we had a very interesting day, particularly for the marine 2 class. We went down to ginger island and on the way saw dolphins jumping near us while we were on the boat. After going down we saw...

My last day here in the British Virgin Islands started off with breakfast served by the chaperones. After the usual breakfast, I was ready to go to the local high school to help make it look prettier. When we got to the high school, which was just down the road from where we were staying, we split up into...

The flash backs of last years amazing trip came to mind as our house rooster woke us up. After having our normal breakfast plus eggs that the teachers had made, we headed down to the harbor. While loading the boats with tanks of air and gear, we learned who our group's dive leader was, Beth. We did our first...

We had to scrape a little bit of food this morning because we were eating the leftovers from all of the breakfasts throughout the week.  I had a nutritious honeybun, a nature valley bar, and a yogurt.  I say at the same spot as yesterday and enjoyed the view n and talked to Owen.  The goal of the day...

We woke up at 7:15 for breakfast at 7:45 in another groups cabin. After breakfast we went back and Grabbed our scuba gear for the project dives.  The two dive sites we went to were Ginger steps and Ginger's backside.  One of my favorite parts of the trip so far is traveling out to the dive sites because of...
