Location: Mountain Point, Virgin Gorda
Today I was woken up to people scrambling to get their clothes out of their rooms, and I knew it could only mean one thing. It was laundry day! As I scrambled to get all of my dirty clothes into my bag, I was met with possibly the worst thing you could hear at 7. “TANK RUN!!!!” I heard, and somehow I ended up going on it with Bella and Syd. When we got back, we were greeted by some delicious bagels and yogurt. After that, Kaleigh, Maddy, Bella, and I went over to Moonshadow while the rest of the crew stayed back to do a couple of dives with the open water students. At Moonshadow, we also did an open water dive, but instead of doing a second one, I did more confined water dives with a couple of students. After hours of being away from home, I finally got back as lunch was ending. Once we finished cleaning up after lunch, we learned how to brief for a dive, and then we went on navigation dives in two groups of four with Aiden, Caroline, and Ava went on another dive with the open water students. For some reason, the nav dive was just the funniest thing in our group, and we were laughing before, during, and after the whole thing. We got de-kitted, and I discovered this wonderful thing called peanut butter with a tortilla. One last tank run was done for the day before we had a Thanksgiving feast for dinner. To end the night, we went over a couple of chapters in our dive master manual—the End.
