We started off the day with a delicious breakfast of eggs, bacon, and toast, before quickly diving into our second lecture. Joe taught us the differing distribution and limiting factors of coral reefs, as well as their growth and formations. We took a quick break to take a tour from Scarlet around the grounds, all getting to experience [ed: go inside, but it wasn't turned on] the hyperbaric chamber without forking out $4,000. After getting all our information in, we were finally able to jump into the lagoon. A quick snorkel trip was followed by more lecture, then lunch. It was then Brad's turn to teach us about coral reefs, giving a very helpful lecture about how to never touch anything ever (or at least not the things that can sting us). We got to snorkel again in groups before a quick lecture from John and dinner. All total, we finished two snorkel trips and four lectures in one day, impressing ourselves with the amount of energy and learning we could fit into the hours. I don’t know about the others, but my room has in fact planned on an early night, and an early morning, to continue our time in Jamaica as well rested as possible!

Awesome awesome!
So, January ninth was “\Technically” your first full day on the Island, babe, not the tenth. But the Jamaicans may have a different calandar than we in the USA, so now is everyone confused?
Anyway, about those puffer fish that seemed to disappear (or jumped for their lives)…..they do not seem to be there based upon professorial feedback…..so TJ, you may have some explaining to do (0r a lot of photoshopping….)
A little confused – I actually **DO** see piffers in the pucture… uh, puffers in the picture…
True. I see Something…what are those 4 orangey squibby things ,if not fish? I need a close-up. “Oh, Mr. DeMille, we are ready for our close-up!”
(Any movie buffs out there?)
You’re right, there are puffers there. The professor’s eyesight isn’t what it used to be.
tj,hope
you enjoy your experience in Jamaica,love, grandma
