So upon arrival at my site, the first thing I do is assist the boat captain with anything that he/she may need. That can be attaching the boat to the mooring, or keeping an eye out of snorkelers and sea turtles. Once at the site and the boat is secured, I gather my equipment which consist of six or seven items including my fins and mask, my wetsuit, five to six syringes with amoxicillin paste in a bag, a T-stick, an Tg-6 Olympus camera, and a six inch ruler. Once I’m in the water, myself and my buddy diver head straight to the corals associated with my project. There are 10 corals in total, and their tag numbers are 1 – 10. However, for my project, I will be working with 5 of the 10 corals. Once I’ve found my corals, I then begin treating the infected area or lesion with the amoxicillin paste. If you wanna know more about how I treat the corals and the more of the methods, come check out my next blog!
