After we went down to walk to the high school just up the street for our service project. The high school which Casey explained was the main school on the island with one building being...

The second day we started bright and early at 7:20. We went down to the senior's cabin to enjoy a hard cooked meal of cereal, granola bars, and yogurt. We spent the rest of the next 6 hours diving at, Ginger Island in the back and front. Our group saw two sharks and kept count of a few species...

This morning it was our cabin's turn to serve breakfast. This means we get to wake up early and set up breakfast for the rest of the guys. After that ordeal was done we were ready to set out for the rest of our action packed day.  Our first dive was at Mountain Point which gets its name from...

Our project is to measure the relationship between the length of the diameter of a barrel sponge and the speed the sponge filters water. Before we left the dock, our dive instructor, Beth, and our group went over our materials for the dive. We brought...
