This is our view from the docks where we get on the boats to go out scuba diving or just hop off the edge and snorkel.

We arrived today and were given a nice tour of the facilities. They showed us the classroom, where we had to sit through some introductory lectures while fighting off the sleep deprivation of our travels. Also during the tour, they showed us the wet lab. We will be collecting samples and using this room to keep them alive while we study and observe them. This will give us the option to see the wildlife without having to suit up, especially if the weather is bad. And at the end of the tour, they brought us to the docks, and everyone let out a gasp of joy at finally being able to see the ocean after hours and hours of crowded planes and vans.

This is the wet-lab where we will be holding specimen that we collect from the reserve for observation.

This is the classroom where we are having our lectures and meetings.

Love you mom!
