Keep you life jacket on at all times!!!Yesterday, Glovers Reef Marine Station was happy to welcome the 4th form students from Stann Creek Ecumenical High School based in Dangriga. Their teachers Ms. Cayetano and Mr. Onyia accompanied them.
On the programme: snorkeling the reefs of the atoll and discovering their natural heritage as Belizeans.
For some of the students, it was their first time out snorkeling and discovering the wonders undersea. For us, it proved quite challenging to keep afloat 18 students and keep the corals intact. However thanks to loads of help from all the neigbhouring cayes we had plenty of Dive Masters and life jackets to go around.
Snorkelling back to the boat.
Carlos Martinez, Fisheries ranger for Glovers Reef explained what his job was about and why it was important to respect certain rules out on the atoll.
Annick Cros, Manager of the Station, gave a quick talk about the coral reef ecosystem leading the students to understand the role man played on this fragile environment.

The team at Middle Caye would like to give Special Thanks to Becky Lamont for having generously lent us all the snorkelling equipment and half of her family to help us with the snorkellers!

Who said snorkeling was tiring? A quick game of volleyball after lunch!
Koolie Gial was a good launch for some acrobatic dives.
