We went to breakfast around 8 o'clock, when we finished we went to the docks and did our first dive at the Kodiak Queen which was a ship a Pearl Harbor.  On the ship people build a big metal kraken that your able to swim in and leads into the ship.  We also had a moon race which you...

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...

The day was finally here. A day we weren't diving but yet I was even more excited than ever before. Today was the day we would go search and tag sea turtles. To begin, a sea turtle expert who used to work for the government on conservation came and gave a presentation on why sea turtle populations declined and...

Today we at at the Alamander house and did the same old breakfast routine that has been for five days in a row now. Nothing unusual happened so I'll just skip over it to spare you the boredom. So off we go to the first dive site. It is a wreck about 60ft down called the Kodiak Queen. This ship...

Though the title suggests that today was seemingly bad or simply uncomfortable, it was one of the most breathtaking(literally) experiences of my life. It all started with the morning screeching of the resort roosters outside of our swamp of a cabin. Cramming 3 teenage boys into a tight room with only 2 box fans and 99% humidity isn't an...

Today started off with breakfast at the Alamander cabin where I had cereal. We ten headed out for a long day on the boat. We set out to a wreck dive where we saw a hip that was sunk in May of 2017. Although the dive was cool, the visibly and coral life was poor so we did not...

This morning was the same as the other 4 except today our cabinet was the one that served breakfast to everyone, and afterwards we met down at the cattleguard to go to the marina. After we arrived at the marina we had to get onto the boats to go to the wreck of the Kodiak Queen, and for once...

Today I ate lunch at the Lime house where I was luckily able to snag some Froot Loops and a strawberry yogurt so breakfast was made better. After liberally applying sunscreen I was ready to set out for the day. After splitting up with the Sea Monkey crew we went to snorkel, collect, observe and identify invertebrates near mountain point....

Slayton, Nicholas. I slept well this morning, so I was rested, and breakfast was fine. After we were done with breakfast, we went down to the commissary to receive a lecture on turtle conservation. One of the things I took away from it was that turtle population has recovered sharply, but without more work to be done, the turtle population...
