Just like the other days, Day 5 started with a buffet style breakfast. Then, we gathered our gear and boarded the boat "Twin Sister" to go the first dive site. After a short boat ride, we arrived at our first dive site "Hepp's Pipeline". With the help of the dive masters, my partner, Nico Boyd, and I jumped into...

Our day started like any typical day, waking up and going straight to breakfast. We then continued our scuba diving adventure to Hepp's Pipeline. The name, Hepp's Pipeline, comes from the half pipe shape. The coral fingers curve upward and creates two connected walls. The deepest that this pipe reached was about 74 feet, which make the half pipe huge....

This morning, once again, we woke up at the early hour of 7AM, well rested and ready for a busy day of diving. We ate a hearty serving of breakfast and then boarded our sturdy boat, the Twin Sister. With some help from our reliable dive masters, Bernie and Curtis, we safely made it to our first dive site,...

This morning, I woke up to another wonderful breakfast consisting of eggs and bacon. The group and I prepared our dive gear for the trip to Hepp's Pipeline. The name originated because of the wall shape. The formation of the wall heavily resembles that of a surfer wave pipeline. The curvature and growth of the mini wall rises and...

After finishing breakfast, we gathered our gear and made our way to the boat anxious for our 3 dives of the day. At our first dive site, Hepps Pipeline, named from the shape of the walls, had an abundant amount of fish and coral. One fish that caught my eye was the smooth trunkfish, it is identified by its...

We woke up bright and early and ate a great breakfast before heading out on the dependable Twin Sister to our two dive sites: Hepp's Pipeline and Spanish Bay. They were roughly half an hour out, and we all got comfortable for the eventful morning ahead of us. Hepp's Pipeline got its name not because of a giant pipe down...

Today we got our gear ready and headed out to our first dive site. It's known as Hepp's Pipeline for a coral that resembles the pipeline of a wave that surfer's ride on. It was one of the most healthy, colorful dives sites on the island. One of those colorful fish is the trumpet fish. It is a long-bodied...

In a stunning change of pace, the Jesuit Marine Biology Class wakes up at 7:00 A.M. ready to go and lively as ever (Just kidding, everyone slowly ate breakfast, sleepy from the dives earlier in the week). After breakfast, we climbed aboard the good old Twin Sister and made the half hour boat ride to our first dive site,...

Started the day off like the rest; Bernie and Curtis loaded us onto the boat and we were off. We got to Hepps Pipeline and all started our descent. It was a very interesting and colorful dive because not only did we see the normal coral but we got to see the underside of it as we swam under...
