Day 3 in Jamaica and waking up at 7am never felt better! With sunny skies, crystal clear water and over 80° weather it was a perfect day for some snorkeling and diving. Today was the first day of diving for some of us, which meant leaving the shallows of the lagoon and plunging into the open ocean. Those of us, including myself, who dove this morning, were able to see a stingray and a lionfish which many of us had never seen before, as well has hundreds of other organisms. Getting to see these animals up close totally beats the Discovery Channel any day. Every group continued collections for their projects, with many people finding some very cool creatures! Some of these were crabs, snails, fire worms, slugs, brittle stars and anemones.
Going from sitting in the sun and swimming for hours to sitting through 3 lectures is not that thrilling. Getting to see something you just learned about in the classroom, out on the reef, however, is very exciting and gets your curiosity flowing. For example, our first lecture was about the dangerous species on the reef, so the first time we went snorkeling and I spotted a Scorpion fish right next to me. It was awesome but I knew it was a poisonous fish and shouldn’t touch it. Finding new things is very exhilarating and everyone loves to share what they found. Everyday keeps getting better and better out on the reef, and I can’t wait to see what will happen tomorrow!
