06 Jan – Incoming Identification Test

Today is currently day 4 of our 14-day adventure! In a couple of days, we will have our identification test. It’s a big test of around 50-100 species we need to memorize and learn their scientific name. With that being said, countless hours have been dedicated to snorkeling around trying to get photos of all different types of plants, fish, and invertebrates. Everyday seems to embrace us with a new species.

My group has seen multiple sting rays, a giant sea star, West Indian Sea egg, etc. BTW: rumor has it we may be doing a night snorkeling soon. So stay tuned to see some amazing photos!!

Here is a photo of a west Indian sea egg: Tripneustes Ventricosus. I found while snorkeling. For reference it’s about as big as a soccer ball
