Today we woke up, on the third day, and were exhausted. I was still happy to go diving but was tired on the boat after climbing up from the water. While we scuba dived, though, I couldn't have been having more fun. Today we saw a ray swimming by as we were about 80 meters down. We did one...

The day began like the other two with us waking up early and getting breakfast at another cabin. After we finished with our breakfast we met with the rest of the group at the cattle guard at the front of the resort. After we had gotten to the marina we retrieved our tanks and BCDs and got on the...

Remember when I said that yesterday would be the most physically demanding day. I was wrong. The day started just as usual with an early 7:15 wake up and 8:00 breakfast. Next came two tank dives once again for our project. Today we visited Chimney and Bronco Island. Unfortunately for me, I was unable to located any sponges but I...

The roosters woke me up an hour early today. Breakfast was normal. Today we did two more dives for our research projects. Dive no.1 was unsuccessful, because we only found 1 sponge.

The star of day 3 in the BVI, the soreness starts to set in. After four hard dives and some snorkels, the more sleep we need. We woke up and walked to the Mango Cabin to have more cereal and listen to the day's plan. Then we went to finish our research dive in the morning. We went down...

Day three has lived up to all the other days again. We started the day off at mountain point to finish up our project dives and the dive sight was beautiful it really reminded me of something out of finding nemo. We saw four rays and many beautiful fish and we even went down as deep as 80 feet....

Today we woke up and had breakfast served by mango cabin. After we ate breakfast we went on two morning dives. Our first dive was at Chimney and we looked for cleaning stations for our research project. We found three cleaning stations, one being a shrimp station and two goby stations. We saw a bunch of parrot fish at...

Today started off with a 8:00 breakfast. I had cereal and then got ready for the day. We prepared for a two tank dive and set out  on the boat. Due to currents, we moved from our original site to a spot called "Chimney." It was fun and we conducted a research dive while under there. My camera was...

July 24 - Boring items out of the way first, I woke up. It was hot as usual. Breakfast was quick and filling with Fruit Loops and Fig Newtons. That concludes the boring items of the day.  Our first dive, this time at Ginger's Hole, was The Mangoes first attempt at our research project. Our project is to observe the...
