Location: At Sea
Today, we woke up early to dive into the Third Encounter with Saba Deep. Bob, our divemaster, took us out on the Jolly Mon’ to a seamount at 110 ft below the swelly surface. We saw lots of coral and fish and even saw a napping nurse shark. Bob claimed to have seen a whale earlier in the day, so we were hoping for a surprise visit. After the dive, we came back for a delicious lunch. Then John and I braved the huge swells and crashing waves to retrieve sediment cores with Casey. John saw a massive stingray, while I saw two huge barracudas. After the sediment dives, we ate dinner and got the boat ready for a sail back to the BVIs, our old stomping grounds. We started sailing at about seven and will arrive at the BVIs tomorrow morning.
