It's been an amazing experience to work with the SEA TURTLE group for the last five months. Words don't really begin to describe it...but I'll try. From the beginning we cheered each other on during our swim tests (Reminisce here, here, here and here), supported each other during classes (More on our fascinating lecturers here, here, here and here!), helped our nervous dive buddies in the pool (See how far we've come here, here, here ,here and here), and had an incredible—and for some, life changing—week aboard the R/V Coral Reef II in the Bahamas.
