Today was the last day in the water. However, I have plenty to tell since we spent most of the day in it. This morning it was our cabin's turn to serve breakfast, so I woke up around 7:00 to set things up. Luckily, the breakfast went over pretty smoothly. At 8:30 we headed out to the docks for a long...

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....

I think that today was a incredible day... our first project dive we got absolutely nothing done due to the fact that we saw 3 reef sharks swimming around us the whole time and our eyes were completely attracted to them and in shook at too how close they would get up to our face without being scared in...

Today was the first day of diving in the BVI after a whole day of flying and playing hacky sack. Arriving at San Juan, I choked down some pizza and went to sleep amongst the constant fear of bugs crawling on my face. The next day, I woke up four minutes before we needed to show up in front...

Before we could begin our turtle tagging experience, a representative of ARK, Association of Reef Keepers, gave us an informative presentation...

Today we woke up and had breakfest at the teachers cabin, after breakfest we went to the high school/ middle school on the island to help build and fix the school.  The projects that we did was paint, build a plant box, make a rock boundary around plants, make holes and put posters, and make a 6-8inch hole across...

After hosting an amazing breakfast this morning at our cabin, we learned that we would be spending our day turtle tagging and snorkeling. The Sea Dragon Team started our day off with an excursion to Mango Bay to snorkel and identify invertebrates. Here we were tasked with the goal of trying to capture and identify the most amazing invertebrates...

Today started off bright and early as my cabin (Plum Tree) was in charge of making breakfast for everyone on the trip. We decided to splurge, unlike the seniors, and actually produced edible food known as eggs. Soon after breakfast, we geared up for our second day of project dives and headed out to Georgedog island where we record...
