On Saturdays there is nothing school related that we do here. It's mainly the staff taking us out twice a day to either SCUBA dive or snorkel. First place we dove to was called "The Arch." We were down at about 45 ft and swam under what looked like an underwater bridge. Very cool. Also along the trip we saw a stingray lurking in the sand. This thing was huge. Like the diameter of it was well over 8 ft. Saturday is also "Community Outreach Day" where most of us do activities with the local children such as giving them swim lessons or teaching them about the environment. I on the other hand was assigned to invasive removal and had to cut down trees with Tim. There are some invasive pine trees on the island that are a nuisance. The second dive was at "The Plane." Back in the 70s when South Caicos had heavy drug trafficking a plane with drugs crashed nearby. So much cool stuff around there. A barracuda swam with us for a while and we saw two sea turtles at ~58ft down.
