This break comes toward the end of October and has our students and staff scattering about the Caribbean for a five-day period of rest and relaxation. Some of our students are flying back to the States, while others are traveling to Grand Turk, Provo, or the Dominican Republic. Those in search of great wall diving are heading off to Grand Turk, while others looking for more night life and a great game of golf are traveling to Provo, and for a little bit of culture and a big island to roam, students will board the charter to Dominica. I know this break comes with great enthusiasm, and I am positive that students will return with many great stories to share. It seems that every day brings a new adventure or a new sighting of something breathtaking on the island.
Every day brings something new to talk about over dinner, something better than the day before.
Seeing a school of twenty eagle rays cruise gracefully, or a sweet faced baby hawksbill turtle floating lazily above you on a dive, or below you on a snorkel is always an awe-inspiring sight.
