Tuesday 5/20/2014

We had two dives on Tuesday, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.  The divers saw a turtle for the first time and a green moray eel. They also swam through a tunnel created by a buttress that coral had grown over the top on the second dive of the day. 

After the second dive, we had a short break and then we walked over to Carambola Gardens.  The area was designed, created and is run by Bill, a botanist by training, who came here for a Peace Corps stay and never left!  He gave us a tour of the main path and taught us about some of the different plants he has growing there.

We finished the day off with a lecture from Dr. Zimmerman on a review of reef invertebrates.

Check back later for an update about Wednesday!
