St. Croix Science Diving – Day 3 – 3/10/2024

Sunday (Day 3) – Miles Rosania

This morning we got to sleep in, as we didn’t need to be at the marina until 10. We had a fabulous time navigating with google maps, which likes to take us on long, winding routes for some reason. Today we were diving out of the Sweet Bottom dive shop in Cane Bay, with a group of people who dive once a month to apply antibiotics to corals and clean up the corals by removing snails that prey on corals and overgrowing algae.

We were missing some of our divers on this day, as they took the Lord’s day off, so we had a smaller group than usual. Today we learned about how to apply antibiotics to corals, as well as more details on Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease and its spread to St. Croix. We even got to hang out with some turtles!!!
