We had an awesome day today. This morning we went on our deep dive off the edge of a sea wall. Swimming next to this wall, we were in about 4000 feet of water. Our maximum depth for the dive was 100 feet. One of the most interesting parts of that dive was the topography of the...

Todays dives were crazy. I never thought I would get a chance to dive a shipwreck. On our first dive we swam through a ship called the Kittiwake. Once a ship in the US Navy, it was designed to rescue submarines and was in commission from 1946 to 1994. It actually picked up Buzz Aldrin after one...

This morning I arose from my slumber at the obscenely early hour of 6AM. After waking up and getting dressed, I fueled my body with some eggs, bacon, sausage, and cereal. After that, we boarded the boats and got ready for the 2 dives. The first dive at a dive site called "Big Tunnels", where we reached a maximum...

For our last full day, we ate breakfast at 7:00 per usual. Our same wonderful breakfast of bacon and eggs tasted delicious and we began to head to our first site. The first site of the final to dives was Sand Hole. Sand Hole was a super cool site as it was the first time I have ever seen...

An easy day today. We started off the morning with two tanks dives. Our first dive was located at Little Tunnel. Immediately, we were confronted with a large wall of reef with a small hole which could only fit one diver. The hole began at about 60 feet and came through at about 75 feet. When we exited, there...

Today started with an early breakfast, which was followed by a boat briefing. Quickly, after the briefing ended, we gathered our gear and got on the boat ready to go on our first dive of the trip. We went on a quick boat ride from the resort to the school house dive site. We quickly and excitedly jumped in...

I started my day by waking up at 3 AM and heading to the airport. After both flights and the long wait at customs to enter the country, we made it to Cobalt Coast. Once we got to the resort, we got settled in, ate lunch, and eventually went snorkeling. The water was really choppy today so it was difficult...

Gearing up for an early flight, I groggily threw my suitcase and backpack into the car and we were off to the airport at 3:30 A.M. I met the rest of the class at the airport and we were off. After a long trip through security we made it to our gate and took off to Florida. After a...

My buddy, Gregory Pope, and I searched the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean for familiar types of fish. Near the shore of Cobalt Coast, we found and examined fish including Foureye Butterflyfish, Banded Butterflyfish, French Grunt, Sergeant Major, Princess Parrotfish, and Redband Parrotfish, additionally, while snorkeling, Gregory found a sea urchin. After we snorkeled, we identified multiple juvenile...
