Loving the Beautiful Sunsets in Discovery Bay

We started day 3 in Jamaica at 7:30 am with a yummy breakfast of scrambled eggs, toast, and sausage. Juice and fruits were also served to complete our nutritious and balanced meal. After breakfast, the students started their preparations for diving. The students with diving certificates, Lila, Nikki, and Marissa, went out for a checkout dive at 9 am for a test and a refresher of the necessary skills for safe diving. The rest of the students met with the diving instructor, Dayne Buddo, to schedule their pool dives, their open water dives, or the whole diving course from scratch. The inexperienced students started their diving courses today by watching Dayne give lectures and watching the videos provided by the diving certificate association, PADI.

Another bunch of students went on boat trips to locate the Cameras needed to monitor the sea creature movement. We will be participating in collecting data for a big research project. A group went at 8:30 am and another group went at 1:30 pm. Luckily, the friendly roommates packed the missing students their lunch. For lunch, we had Spaghetti with meat sauce and cheese, fruits, and juice. At 5 pm we had a lecture with Professor Brad on Marine Ecology.

The day was long but exciting and we are all looking forward to learning and experiencing new things!!!
