On Thursday 1/9/13 I spent the day taking in the new environment of Jamaica, specifically Discovery Bay. We started the day off with delicious breakfast with some of the most delicious fruits which led right into lecture. Afterwards we got a tour of the facility showing us the mangrove growth area and the hyperbaric chamber. The hyperbaric chamber was awesome yet frightening at the same time and we got to go inside of it. Then we got to go snorkeling in the lagoon. I saw corals and many times of fishes and plants. It was a really cool day!
