Well the students are really busy-which is a good thing . Our typical day has us loading up the van at 820 to head to the dive shop, then 2 snorkels/dives on the reef, and back for lunch about 130. Yesterday was a beautiful day on the reef-lots of reef shark sitings, with some rays and a turtle. I saw a goliath grouper (~300 lbs) but did not get a picture. Some of the group were not feeling well on the boat and ended up feeding their breakfast to the fish, but they are going to give it another try today (Thursday). In the afternoon we split up to find fish and lizards. The fish group found some fish but not the fish we are looking for-more attempts today. The lizard group caught plenty and started some measurements with the racetrack. Dinner was tacos with watermelon for dessert. I crashed about 1030 but the class was still at it in the lab. It's a good group-I'm sure some good data (and learning) will come out of this trip.
