Anther blustery day on the island. We can't seem to catch a break! Luckily the wind wasnt so bad, so we were able to go for some dives today!
We spent our afternoon diving on the south side of the island at two new sites. The first was called uncle lucky and was the spur and groove reef formation that weve been seeing. The students each took one transect with quadrats, and then got to swim to the reef wall and check it out! They really enjoyed getting to see it.

Our second dive was on the wreck of the Soto Trader, the ship that used to drop off supplies to the island before they used a barge. The ship caught fire some 60 years ago and now is a nice dive site! This was the first wreck for all the students so they were LOVING it!! We attempted to take a group picture in front of the wreck but it was a silty and cloudy so it didnt come out as well as we hoped, but we will try again later this week!

Once we got back to CCMI we had a nice big dinner and everyone settled down into processing their transect data. Hoping for clear skies tomorrow!

what a neat dive, to go through the wreck! The group picture is definitely a bit cloudy, but still looks great. I'd call it a successful day, even with the wind
