Day 3 we finished out last project dives. We went too bronco billy and my favorite spot the chimney too find the relationship between coral and algae. We got too see some great fish as well and we got too see a moray eel. Being underwater with all the fish and wildlife is completely breath taking and makes you...

This morning I ate scrambled eggs, mixed berry Greek yogurt and and drank lots of water to properly prepare for the day. After breakfast we gathered our BCDs, tanks and regulators and were assigned our boats; mine was the Sea Dragon. I set up my gear and became acquainted with my Hungarian dive master, Zoltan. We set out to...

Today, once again, started with the usual cereal and juice, but at least they had apples this time. However, as bland as the breakfast has seemingly become, today was the most exciting day yet. Today we started out the day with hearing from a British virgin island sea turtle expert. We learned about sea turtle conservation and what types...

Man, I can't believe that this trip is more than halfway over! It feels like I just arrived yesterday! After a typical breakfast, the day took a unique turn. Instead of heading straight to the dock. A lady with the turtle conservation group down here gave us a 45 minute presentation on the origins of turtles, how endangered they are,...

Starting the morning off with another refreshing, ice-cold shower, I had another slice of pizza and Apple Jacks. After retrieving our gear, we left the huts to go to the boats. Next, we left to go to the first dive site at the backside of Ginger Island. When I originally jumped in my secondary regulator started spewing...

Today the two dives we took were geared toward for our project, which is determining if a larger diameter in sponges means a faster speed low process of water. To test this we had planned on releasing a tracer dye into the water around the sponge and timing how long the sponge took to start excreting the dye; however,...

I just got back from a night dive and man, that was spooky, but before that let's recap the dives, well to start off, we finished our data collection for our project, and after that our group decided to do some exploring in the chimney, to be met with tons of sergeant major and yellow striped grunt, then we...

Today began with breakfast at the teachers cabin where I had cereal. We then walked down to the local high school where we did service work for two hours. I worked on lifting and organizing stones to surround a garden. We had fun while doing it and helped the school with other landscaping projects. We then moved on to...
