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...

Day 4 in the BVI and it was our time to make breakfast, which turned out great. After breakfast,  we went down to the docks and went on our first snorkel of the day at Mango Bay We went to a small beach on the island and looked for invertebrates in the shallow water. We found small sea pearls...

Even though this is blog 6 I am writing this on our travel back home. On our last full day the teachers held breakfast outside of their cabin. Instead of the routine of afterwards heading to the docks, we headed to the main school on the island. For our service project, we were tasked with remodeling part of the school...

The day had finally come for the wreck dive. I woke up early and got all my stuff ready in preparation of the inevitable order to pack up tomorrow. I arrived to breakfast starving so I had 3 bowls of cereal with some juice and the group loaded up into the truck to head to the marine for our...

I helped out by organizing children's books on the newly built library for the primary and high school students. Afterwards, I worked on carrying dirt up onto the second floor to mix with gravel and make...

Today, like all of our days, started off with a breakfast. But this time, the feast was in the hands of me and my project group. Instead of waiting until 7:30 to wake up, we woke up at 7:00 to begin preparing our meal. People began to arrive at the cabin at around 7:40 to grab spots on the...

We couldn't dive due to the fact that we are flying tomorrow, but the day was not one spent just lying aroumd. Once everyone has eaten breakfast, we woke up and headed to the local high school to help Unite BVI build a library and a garden. Unite BVI was founded by Richard Branson and aims to help both...

Today we started off the day by breakfast at our cabin. I woke up early, so I spent an hour or two on the hammock relaxing. Breakfast was good, and we then packed up our gear and were ready for Glen at 8:15. After a 20 minute ride, we arrived at our first dive site located near Ginger's Backside....
