Location: Great Harbor, Peter Island
Today, we woke up to hype music and Kyler banging pots and pans together. The reason for this is that today is everyone’s favorite dive day, Rhone Day. Ellory and Ellis made sure that breakfast was very filling for the long day ahead of us. Breakfast consisted of Bagels and melon. Shortly after that, we motored over to Salt Island, where we learned the history of the Rhone. Quickly, we set up our dive gear and got ready for the breathtaking dive awaiting us. Ellory, Kyler, and I put on our dulumimis. While diving the wreck, Breckyn pointed out a black tip reef shark swimming by. The boys (Dillon and Arthur) saw a nurse shark. The neptunes and dolphins were separate for this dive, but both ended up seeing many amazing sea animals like gigantic lobsters, porcupine fish, a huge Goliath grouper, etc. Maya found the supposedly lucky porthole, which is the only porthole that lasted through the wreck and hurricane Irma. Shortly after that, we hiked up Salt Island and saw Salt Lake. Then we had lunch, which was Mac n Cheese, while we sailed back to GHP. Kennedy snorkeled and swam around the boat while Zoe, Ellis, Ellory, Gabe, and Maddie went waterskiing. Then we had MEXICAN NIGHT for dinner, which was scrumptious. Then, as the sun began to set, we prepared for our second night dive. During this div,e we saw bioluminescence, two stingrays, and a box crab eating a snail. After our night div,e we all settled in for bed and chatted for a bit.
