Well, it’s Day 19 and Saturday. This is officially our last full day out on the water….and we started it off right with a student-led dive at the Indians near Norman Island

After breakfast we headed to Little Jost Van Dyke Island for a morning dive at one of our favorite sites called “The Playground.” Due to its fairly isolated location and sometimes challenging conditions, we don’t get to dive there very often

We woke up in Leverick Bay, topped off the water tanks and headed for Vixen Point in the North Sound of Virgin Gorda

This morning we woke up and hiked the Savannah Saddle, a short hike from the leeward to the windward side of Virgin Gorda.

I continue to be amazed at the amount of fun AND learning we are able to cram into a single day, and today was no exception.

We got today started off just right with a nice dive at Diamond Reef, a Marine Protected Area between Tortola and Marina Cay
