Second Week of Underwater Discovery

The second week of Underwater Discovery was the most interesting for the students of this group. It was not the week of practice but that of real work and investigation of the Caribbean Sea. On Monday students took a trip to a Whale Shoals. They also tried snorkeling and research at night for the first time. Tuesday was free diving day. On Wednesday they finished their marine project and summarized the data and materials. Today students of Underwater Discovery will pack up and have a big party to celebrate a great trip and an excellent time.

Discovery of Hidden Depths

The students in Belize, who participate in Underwater Discovery Winterim are now having great fun on a yellow beach of South Water Caye. On the first day, they had orientation and learned about the marine ecology of the Caribbean sea. Also students had the chance to snorkel a bit and explore a nearby city. They practiced their water skills and made a great preparation for the depths of the mighty ocean. They had several important swimming tests and passed a final exam. On Saturday they started their project and visited the Smithsonian. On Sunday they were at Bird Caye and had a fish quiz.
