Blog Post Day 5

Today I dove twice in the morning and rested all afternoon. This morning we went back to a dive cite along the wall. While diving I saw schools of black durgon which are actually quite easy to tell apart from other fish because its fins are located on the top and bottom and wave in the water. Next I...

Day 5 (07/24/19)

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...

We started with a dive at Little Tunnel which had a max depth of 100. Lee, and especially the teachers, put strong emphasis on this...

In my opinion after seeing the turtle center and the conditions the animals were kept in, I would have to say I think the...

The first dive was a deep dive down to the wall looking out into the blue which drops into the abyss with reef fish, big predatory fish, and a...

Matthew Gonzalez – Day 4

Todays first dive had to be my favorite dive of the trip so far. Getting to explore the different species of beautiful fish scattered among the brightly colored coral was incredible at "Big Tunnels" dive sight, but the best part of the dive was swiveling throughout the tunnels and underwater canyons. The walls rose up on all four sides...

Michael Curry Day 4

Today was by far the best day of the trip. It started out just as the other mornings with the rooster and breakfast, and it only got better from there. The first dive site was one of the greatest diving experiences I have ever had since certification. The site was a series of coral formed into downward sloping tunnels that...

Day 4- The Day About Stingray City!
