Hey guys! Today was an amazing day! We started out the morning with a sunrise swim that I was actually able to attend. I still have hives but they haven't gotten any worse then what they are staying at so I am not letting them hold me back. The swim was a little murky but it was beautiful! There were so many turtles and rays that we passed. Their sizes still amaze me. I also found a massive hermit crab hanging out by the shipwreck we swam by. It was absolutely breathtaking.
One thing I don’t think I have talked about yet is the reef soundscape. The instant you get in you can hear tiny cracking noises which are so clear. The cracking is actually the sound of parrot fish eating the hard coral, and other noises from sea creatures. It is amazing how clear the sound cuts through the water.
I headed back to have dinner and afterwards my class and I went to the lab to blog and watch blue planet as a class. Today was a great day and I really enjoyed the experiences I had with my class and being able to get closer to my classmates.
Till next time! Taylor
