Biologist’s Log

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

We kicked off today reviewing for our reef fish surveying project with REEF.org, one of our service learning projects

This was definitely one of our most jam-packed days yet

What a great day full of island fun! We finished up the field portion of our introduction to scientific diver specialty course with an awesome wall dive called Mound 117 near Jost Van Dyke

Today we continued our Coral Monitoring Specialty Course training at the islands of Jost Van Dyke.

We got an early start today so that we could head to the Baths on Virgin Gorda

Today was the start of our NAUI Intro to Scientific Diving Specialty Course.

Travel day! After a great time in the USVI it was time to pull up anchor and continue the program in the British Virgin Islands.
