Today we woke up before the sunrise to go snorkeling and it was gorgeous. Sunrise (and sunset) are when many organisms are most active – nocturnal fish make their way back to their homes and nests to sleep and diurnal fish lazily begin. These animals exhibit crepuscular behavior, more specifically known as “matutinal.” We had gone snorkeling the day before and the change in diversity was astounding. We saw a sting ray (Joe and Brad would say it didn’t happen because it didn’t have a picture, but I would have if I had batteries!) [ed: correct, no photo, didn't happen], needlefish, upside down jelly fish, peacock flounders, many blue headed wrasses (below), damselfish, and even an octopus(can you find him?) [ed: there is no octopus in the below photo].
Blue-head.
Later that day, we certified SCUBA divers jumped in the water for the long-awaited (a tantalizing 2 days) checkout dive! Though we are certified, the University of the West Indies has to make sure we still know our stuff. I was grateful this since I haven’t donned a BCD for 4 years! I can’t wait to apply my diving skills to my lab project. I can’t believe I am learning so much and loving the hands-on experience. Yahman!
Underwater and everything is a-ok.

Emily, your pictures are very clear and sharp. Which camera are you using?
I said to myself, “Anna, just read the first paragraph and then- no, too muchx. Ok. Just the first three words, then.” I know I just read them but I don’t remember what they were or why I decided to read them or only them or an words of this at all because I have a lot of other stuff I have to do, but I must say if I was to offer my own critique on the blog post as a whole, I would give the constructive criticism that the fish’s face is particularly emotionless. I see a picture of a fish- I do not see a story or a character at all. I don’t even have the beginnings of an inkling of what situation the fish is living within in the picture (the believable fish always does his homework before getting in front of the camera. “Where am I? Who am I? What is my relationship to my surroundings and all of the other fish in the scene? What is my backstory? How close was I, the fish, with my parents? Did that affect my development as a full-grown fish? Do I have a fish girlfriend? Do I even like her? What music do I, the fish, listen to?” These details make every fish a fully developed, believable fish. This fish seems to not have really examined who he was going to be or what message he was trying to send in this photo. I would suggest firing this fish and getting a more expressive fish that is more in touch with its inner self- a fish that always delivers a breathtaking performance.
I would also suggest that this blogpost not have any words whatsoever. They are boring and take effort to read. Nix ’em.
While you’re at it, you should also delete the second picture. It is a bit too unrelated to the main message of this blogpost. For the same purpose, you should really zoom in on the expression of your (new) fish. From this distance, I’m just not “feeling it”.
You’re welcome.
Not.
Wish I was there instead of here. 10-14″ of snow expected in NYC by tomorrow morning!
